Custom / Personalised 404 Page - andy.storey - 2013-02-01

All

I've looked for this in the forum search but the answers all point to 2009/2010 replies.

I'm currently using the latest version and would like to know the "proper" way of defining a custom 404 error page for my site. This is good for the user and also for SEO too.

I'm using permalinks and would like the custom 404 page to be editable in the usual gui, not hacked together in notepad. Is it best if I create a page with slug 404 and then use htaccess to point to that?

Kind Regards

Andy

Just create a page called '404' then edit as normal, GS will automatically use it.

You can also theme/template as normal.

Maybe a bit hidden in the wiki?

Advanced configuration, http://get-simple.info/wiki/configuration -> http://get-simple.info/wiki/404

Hmmm.. that wiki page needs an update anyway...
