Wordpress Themes - WP Forum at BFA
There will be no more development for Atahualpa (or any other theme), and no support. Also no new registrations. I turned off the donation system. I may turn the forum to read only if it gets abused for spam. Unfortunately I have no time for the forum or the themes. Thanks a lot to the people who helped in all these years, especially Larry and of course: Paul. Take care and stay healthy -- Flynn, Atahualpa developer, Sep 2021

Custom 404 Page

Hi,

I need to redirect 404's to a custom 404 page saved as draft, not published.

How do I do this?

by it's nature, a draft page won't be displayed

Alright, tried saving the 404 draft page as complete web page, then uploaded to root of my server.

Typing "http://mysite.com/404.html" at the browser address bar displays the custom 404 page fine, but how do I configure Atahualpa to load this page for site 404's?

there are two ways a 'Not Found can occur
1) a page just doesn't exist
2) you search for something that is not found

Case 1
In this case you need a 404.php file in the theme folder. Here is an example for release 3.6.7
HTML Code:
<?php
/**
 * for displaying 404 pages (Not Found).
**/
?>
<?php 
list($bfa_ata, $cols, $left_col, $left_col2, $right_col, $right_col2, $bfa_ata['h_blogtitle'], $bfa_ata['h_posttitle']) = bfa_get_options();
get_header(); 
extract($bfa_ata); 
?>

your code goes here

<?php get_footer(); ?>
This will format the page like any other page on your site

case 2:
In this case, edit index.php and look at the bottom where you will see
HTML Code:
<h2><?php _e('Not Found','atahualpa'); ?></h2>
<p><?php _e("Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.","atahualpa"); ?></p>
just change the message to what you want

I have tried to make a 404.php but it don't show the styling of the pages.
Normally my pages shows like this http://www.torbenbendixen.dk/om/
But if I type an error page http://www.torbenbendixen.dk/hfdga it doesn't show like the normal pages.

What am I doing wrong?

I am using version 3.7.6
