    Solved Custom error 404 page

    Post by Blue Star May 10th 2009, 9:07 am

    Is there anyway of making a custom error 404 page? At the moment when users hit 404 they are redirected to the home page again. Anyway of redirecting them to a custom html page (which I know how to make btw)?

    I have searched this before posting a new thread and there was nothing there.

    I'm not sure you understand, there is no error occurring.

    Say a user typed the url to a page on the forum wrong; he would get the 404 error yes?

    I want to know whether I can make a custom page which the user gets when he gets a 404 error (page not found).

    So I could have a page saying something like: "oops! looks like you're trying to get at something which doesn't exist"
