I've been racking my brains trying to work out how to get a nice custom 404 page to display on my site.
The theme has the 404.php file in it, but won't play ball - if you go to an invalid page, you get a real 404 error back.
Do I need to actually set the 404 file in IIS to the wordpress one, or should wp be doing it automatically. (And if I do need to manually set it, what is the page it should be pointing to?)
Many thanks!

(Moderator or other WP guru's feel free to correct me if I'm wrong here) WordPress handles the 404 redirection using .htaccess files which IIS does not use. I would think you need to modify IIS settings to get the 404 page from the theme to work.
