I have the file taxonomy-project.php and am trying to view results for some of my terms.

I keep getting a result of NO even though I have a post applied to that particular term.

taxonomy-project.php

<?php get_header(); ?>

    <section>
        <div class="container">
            <div class="row">
                <div class="col-12">

                    <?php if(have_posts()) : ?>
                        <div class="fancybox">
                            <div class="row">
                                <?php while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
                                    YES
                                <?php endwhile; ?>
                            </div>
                        </div>

                    <?php else : ?>
                        NO
                    <?php endif; ?>

                </div>
            </div>


        </div>
    </section>


<?php get_footer (); ?>
