# 404.php not used

 * Hi,
 * I tested around several hours to find out the page, which rules the 404-output
   in MH Magazine Lite. It is NOT content_none.php, but which one is it?
 * I also uploaded a 404.php, which is not used by WordPress, so how is the theme
   configured to use it’s own look with 404 message, search box and below my last
   articles?
 * Thank you very much!

 * Hi noapi1,
 * thanks for using MH Magazine _lite_.
 * The content you are referring to is handled through _content-none.php_ which 
   is being called in _index.php_ if there is no content or in case of 404.
 * Please also note that there is a difference between a 404 page and what you see
   when you access for example an archive that has no posts. Currently both scenarios
   are handled though _content-none.php_. In case you want to display different 
   stuff on 404 pages, you could create your own _404.php_ file based on your personal
   requirements.

 * Thank you. I promise: Yesterday it didn’t work. Today it does. This is very strange,
   because I really tried several hours to solve this issue.
 * So you can close this question.
