Custom 404 Error Pages If a person surfing the web enters your domain name followed by a non-existent page name into the address bar or clicks http://joom3.zemplate.com/faq/99-how-to-create-a-custom-404-error-page-for-my-joomla-3-web-site on a link with an out of date page name for your site, they will come https://www.gavick.com/documentation/joomla/templates/customization/customization-404-error-page to a 404 Error page. The default setup for Joomla 3 has an error.php page in the templates/system folder of your Joomla 3 installation. This page will appear whenever someone types in your domain name followed by a slash and a non-existent page. If you are using a third party template, they may already created a replacement error page that reflects the look 404 error of their template. Protostar has an error.php page in templates/protostar in your Joomla 3 installation. In some cases, your hosting company has an error page that overrides your Joomla error page. If you are using Protostar as your template, you can restyle this error.php page itself. Another option is to use PHP redirects to send the visitor to a page that you have created for this purpose in Menu Manager for your Joomla 3 installation. Detecting bad URLs Joomla 404 error page 3.+ keeps track of all the bad URLs that people have typed in or clicked on as links for your site. These bad URLs can be seen under Components -> Redirects. This way you can tell if there are bad links to your site out there that people continually click on. Landing on a 404 error page can be harmful to your site's SEO so you will want to create a redirect for that page that takes the user directly to a more appropriate page. Create Redirects for common bad URLs We suggest that you create Redirects for common bad URLs. If you have a URL on the list under Components -> Redirects that has multiple hits, then it is likely that an external site or search engine has a broken link to your website. This is not good for SEO and is frustrating to the visitor. You want the visitor to get to the right place.

our Joomla templates' 404 error pages Customizing our Joomla templates' 404 error pages Last Updated:June 1st, 2015Category:Customization Tips An Error 404 means that you or another user have requested a page that does not exist. This could be because you have entered the wrong URL or that the address that you have requested references resources that have been moved, for example; you changed the aliases for menu items in Joomla and Google didn't notice this yet. Another possibility is if a website has moved a page or resource but did so without redirecting the old URL to the new one, especially after upgrading from Joomla 1.5 to Joomla 2.5 and then to Joomla 3. When that happens, you'll receive a 404 error instead of being automatically routed to the new page. Simple Customization of 404 page 404 Not Found error messages are frequently customized by individual websites, so keep in mind that the 404 error may show up in just about any way imaginable depending on what website it's shown on. By default all Gavick templates have overridden error pages in two ways, via php and the css styles file (example from Joomla 3.x) : templates/gk_TemplateName/error.php templates/gk_TemplateName/css/system/error.style1.css (if you are using style 1) If you only want to change the language phrases for the error 404 page I suggest that you read this guide: how-to-translate-my-cart-and-other-phrases. If you want to change Contact Webmaster e-mail in 404 page - check GK template configuration in Features tab, there you will find it.
If you want to add your own background image - you need to override the body using this code: body { background: #ccc url('Patch and YourImage.jpg'); background-size:cover;} If you want to change the font color - also override the body using this: body {color: red; } Advanced customization and how to prevent Error 404 pages You can improve the user experience (UX) by configuring your site to display a custom 404 page when returning a 404 response code. For example, you could create a page containing a list of your most popular pages, or a link to your home page, or a feedback link. This means you can improve on the standard error page and generate an error page that's user-friendly, navigational and even include a search box to help direct the user to the page they are looking for.
