[SOLVED] 3.4.2: where to make changes that used to be in index.php?

Hi,

I'm updating from 3.2 to 3.4.2 and have to edit the 404 error message section and above the loop to exclude some categories from displaying on the home page. I am trying to find where that code is located in 3.4.2.

For the error message, in 3.2 in index.php the code was

PHP Code:


		
			
<h2><?php _e('Not Found','atahualpa'); ?></h2>

<p><?php _e("Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.","atahualpa"); ?></p>

Where is this code now?

I use Dunstan-sty Error Page plug-in for an enhanced 404 error message and need to change it to:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php if ( is_404() ) {

if (function_exists('afdn_error_page')) afdn_error_page();

} ?>

and to exclude posts of certain categories on the home page, I need to add:

PHP Code:


		
			
<?php if ( is_home() AND !is_paged() ) {

query_posts($query_string . "&cat=-145,-420,-435");

} ?>

above the loop.

Where the best place to put this code in 3.4.2?

thanks,

Bill

I found the answer to my second question: ATO -> Content ABOVE the Loop.

Nice, now I don't have to make this edit at the next theme update.

...and I found the solution to my first question: ATO -> Content IF NOT FOUND

so I can now update and not have to edit theme php files any more!

Thanks Flynn!
