WordPress WordPress Theme Development The WordPress Loop Adding the Loop to the index.php File

[SOLVED] My site currently has 0 pages and 0 posts. Why am I not seeing the "Sorry, but you are ..." message?

I am following along the videos and I tested the loop to see how the else statement behaves by deleting all post and pages from my site.

Surprisingly, I get a blank page with no fallback/error message.

The code I'm using is:

<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

      <h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
      <p><?php the_content(); ?></p>        

  <?php endwhile; else : ?>

      <p><?php _e( 'Sorry, no results found.', 'treehouse-portfolio' ); ?></p>

  <?php endif; ?>

[SOLVED] It was my mistake, at this point in the course you should only have the index.php template available. I had all the templates from the finished project files in the theme folder.

Hi SERGIO RODRIGUEZ this is a great reminder to not pull the resources from final lessons and to progress with the video at hand. Happy to hear you solved this, keep learning and coding!
