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!
