   Hi,

   Is there anyway in WordPress to create custom error pages like for your 404, 301, 500 error messages?

   Do I have to just create a page called 404.php or should I put in some code into my .htaccess file?

   Many thanks for any suggestions.

   Hello,

   You can create a 404.php page in the theme folder and it will show for pages not found, but I'm not sure about 500 error pages.

   Hi,

   Thanks for the reply.

   OK, I tried the 404.php within the use Themes folder I'm using. `<?php get_header(); ?>

   <div id="content" class="narrowcolumn">

   <h5>Error 404 - Not Found</h5>

   </div>

   <?php get_sidebar(); ?>

   <?php get_footer(); ?>`

   However, it seems to just display my home page(with 1 or 2 wee mistakes) whenever I put in mydomain.com/gldfdfdfsfkslfk.

   Could it be conflicting with my .htaccess file?

   When I go to my website it says Not Found or Error 404.
   My website hasn't been up but a few weeks and it has only worked right for about 2 or 3 days the whole time.
   Is this caused by something that wasn't done right or is it something on your end?
   If it is something that I have done, please let me know how to fix it.
   Thank you
