I would like to know if you can help me, I am trying to check if there is any post in a certain category to do validation and if and then, but without much success so far.
<?php $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1; ?>
<?php if ( have_posts("cat=13") ) { ?>
<?php query_posts("cat=13&showposts=9&paged=$paged"); ?>
Sucesso
} else {
Falhou
?>
<?php } ?>
<?php wp_reset_query();?>
Try to check if post_count is greater than 0. If yes, succeed. If not, you do not have a post.

Thank you for trying to help me, I have managed to solve it, if someone needs something similar, follow the code:
<?php $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1; ?>
<?php query_posts("cat=13&showposts=9&paged=$paged"); ?>
<?php if ( have_posts() ){ while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
Sucesso
} else {
Falhou
?>
<?php } ?>
<?php wp_reset_query();?>
