 * On my archive pages I need to list the content in category groups. In order to
   do that I use “rewind_posts();” and run multiple loops like the one below.
 * `
    while (have_posts()) : the_post(); if (in_category('8')) { include "includes/
   post.php"; }  endwhile;
 * Now, when there is no content in that category it is an empty space. And if I
   do an else statement in my if(in_category(‘8’)) conditional I get as many lines
   as there are total posts.
 * Is there a way for me to say, if there are no posts in a category, to display
   a message?
