How do I create an IF ELSE statement if there are no Jekyll posts in a category?

jekyll

Solution

Try check it with `{% if site.categories.jobs == null %}`.

{% if site.categories.jobs == null %}
  <p>We're not hiring right now</p>
{% else %}
  {% for post in site.categories.jobs %}
    <article>
      <h3><a href="{{ post.permalink }}">{{ post.title }}</a></h3>
      <p>{{ post.summary }}</p>
    </article>
  {% endfor %}
{% endif %}

Problem

I have a FOR statement that outputs all posts of type `jobs`. ``` {% for post in site.categories.jobs %} <article> <h3><a href="{{ post.permalink }}">{{ post.title }}</a></h3> <p>{{ post.summary }}</p> </article> {% endfor %} ``` But if there are no published posts in `jobs` I would like to display a "We're not hiring right now" message. Can you create an IF/ELSE statement to check for posts in a specific category?
