// Check if the content is empty and show a custom message // | |
add_filter('the_content', 'text_for_empty_content', 20, 1); | |
function text_for_empty_content($content){ | |
if(empty($content)) // Check if the content is empty | |
return '<p>Under Construction</p>'; // Add your custom text or other HTML | |
else | |
return $content; // if content is there, just leave it as it is | |
} | |
/* | |
Developer Notes: | |
When you do this check using get_the_content() - the_content() filter will not work. | |
As the content does not pass through the_content filter, action filters from other plugins / theme will not work. | |
To avoid this, use the above mentioned hook and customize it to your needs | |
Works in WordPress 5+, PHP 7 | |
