How is a 'Not Found' handled
There are two different situations that can cause a 'Not Found'
1) you use the search function to look for something (like 'gibberishxxx') that appears in no post or page in your site. 2) you have a url pointing to a page that does not exist. in case 1 a search of the database returns no values - this valid request gets a 200 in case 2 the server can't find the page and you get a 404 in both cases Wordpress returns a page to the user and follows a template hierarchy in case 1 (a search) it looks for 'search.php' and if it doesn't exist, then 'index.php in case 2 (a 404) it looks for '404.php' and if it doesn't exist, then 'index.php If it gets to Atahualpa's index.php then the code at the bottom is run and a 'Not Found' is displayed This is how it works unless you have changed the code, added a search.php or 404.php or added in a plugin that could change the processing, in that case you need to figure it out yourself. |
