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

No need for a 404 plugin. With MZ, simply make your own main template 404.php, copying something like page.php.

In the content div, put something like "404 Page Not Found" between the <h1> tags and remove everything else between those tags.

In the post-bodycopy div, put your custom message (you'll need to use <p> tags) and remove everything else. Links to your home page, search page, site map, last post, and/or whatever you want can be included.

Save the template. To test it, simply enter a nonexistent page url of your site into your address bar.

Here's the official WP codex doc.

As an example, here's what I put up for now:

Code:
<h1>404 Page Not Found</h1>
        	
<div class="post-bodycopy cf">

  <p>Oops!</p>
  <p>The page you requested wasn't found.</p>
                       
</div>
My main menu, with a link to my home page is in the sidebar. I'll add a link to a site map after I make one.

It's possible I could have stripped out more code from the template to make it more elegant, but I didn't dig into what that would do.

The you start talking about the post-bodycopy div, but in the previous statement you said to remove everything else from the content div. I know what you meant to say, but it's not what you said.
