# Message when no posts returned?

 * Hello,
 * I am using your plugin on a client’s site, and it has been a massive help. One
   thing I’m running into, though, is that in instances where the shortcode returns
   no results, I’d like it to display some sort of “No posts found” message, but
   it just displays nothing. Am I missing something, or is there something I need
   to do or an add-on I need to get to display a “no posts” message if there are
   no results?

 * Hi @ jcounts,
    Glad you’re finding ALM helpful 🙂 You can display a message using
   the almEmpty callback. [https://connekthq.com/plugins/ajax-load-more/docs/callback-functions/#empty](https://connekthq.com/plugins/ajax-load-more/docs/callback-functions/#empty)
   Hope this helps.
