 * Hello,
    thx for this great plugin!
 * I have a little problem. I am creating a website for a customer. Now we want 
   to go online in the next days.
    Problem: Not all categories have posts yet. So
   is there a way to create a special message when there are “No posts to show”…
 * Something like “Sorry! Right now there are no news” …
    I hope you understand 
   what i mean?! 🙂
 * Greetings,
    thomas

 * Anyone please? If this isn’t possible I have to switch to another plugin. 🙁

 * I’ve just added this as a feature to the development version of the plugin. It
   will be included in the next release which should be in a few days. If you’d 
   like to use it before then, download the development version (trunk) from here:
   [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/display-posts-shortcode/developers/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/display-posts-shortcode/developers/)
 * And here’s an example of how it’s used. Place this in your theme’s functions.
   php file or in a [core functionality plugin](http://www.billerickson.net/core-functionality-plugin/):
