Description
As the title says, if the category has no posts its page is an error. I think it may be caused by the archive.php fallback:
since the template-parts/content that seems to assume there is some post to be shown.
Not a big issue since empty category doesn’t seem something useful, but since I noticed the issue I’m reporting it. 😉
