Show message when query has no posts
Question
I wrote a shortcode to display all my jobs. When there are no jobs, I want to display a message instead of the available jobs. I used an else-statement to do this, but when the message shows, it shows on top of the page instead of the place where I added the shortcode.
My code:
function dfib_jobs_shortcode( $atts ) {
ob_start();
$query = new WP_Query( array(
'post_type' => 'jobpost',
'posts_per_page' => -1,
'order' => 'ASC',
'orderby' => 'rand',
) ); ?>
<div class="vacatures__wrapper">
<?php if ( $query->have_posts() ) { ?>
<?php while ( $query->have_posts() ) : $query->the_post(); ?>
<div class="vacature__item">
<h4 class="vacature__title"><?php the_title() ?></h4>
<?php if ( has_excerpt() ) {
the_excerpt();
} else {
the_content();
} ?>
<a class="vacature__btn" href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php _e( 'meer info', 'vdp' ) ?></a>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<div class="vacature__item spontaan">
<h4 class="vacature__title"><?php _e( 'Spontaan solliciteren?', 'vdp' ) ?></h4>
<a class="vacature__btn" href="<?php _e( '/spontaan-solliciteren', 'vdp' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'solliciteren', 'vdp' ) ?></a>
</div>
<?php wp_reset_postdata();
$myvariable = ob_get_clean();
return $myvariable;
} else { ?>
<div class="vacature__item spontaan">
<h4 class="vacature__title"><?php _e( 'Momenteel zijn er geen vacatures!', 'vdp' ) ?></h4>
<a class="vacature__btn" href="<?php _e( '/spontaan-solliciteren', 'vdp' ) ?>"><?php _e( 'Spontaan solliciteren', 'vdp' ) ?></a>
</div>
<?php } ?>
</div>
<?php } add_shortcode( 'vacatures', 'dfib_jobs_shortcode' );
