Don’t know if this is solved yet since the post is so old, but you’ll probably have to edit this file (non-upgrade safe manner) in order to do it. Try doing what this guy recommends: Show default content if custom WP_Query has no posts
Basically, create an else statement where the code you pasted above says endif; endwhile;.
