Include some text such as Sorry, we could not find the page you were looking for... and if necessary, also any useful navigational links. For example, you may wish to add a link back to your site's home page. Create and copy a link to that new 404 Article. Create a menu item which links to the new 404 Article and 'apply' your changes. Then copy the URL information (index.php?optio...), set the menu item as 'unpublished' and close out of the menu editing page. You may want to paste the copied URL into Notepad or somewhere accessible for the time-being. Copy error.php to your Template's Directory In your Joomla! installation copy the file error.php from the templates/system directory, to your Template directory.

folder. Step 1: Create an article The first step in creating a custom 404 page is to create a new article. Title: Create something that is specific to Error 404 since it may be displayed as https://docs.joomla.org/Creating_a_Custom_404_Error_Page your browsers title bar. Alias: Type in a simple alias, such as 404. Category: You can use Uncategorised or create another category. Article Text: Add your 404 image or text, or design it however you'd like. In this example, I made my own funny 404 image. Step 2: Edit Metadata Options On the same article, look at the right column and click on the "Metadata Options" tab. Select "No index, no follow" https://www.ostraining.com/blog/joomla/404-pages/ to prevent this particular page to be indexed in search engines. Save and Close. Step 3: Create a Hidden Menu You can view our tutorial on how to create a Hidden menu here. Menu Item Type - Select your Error 404 Page article. Menu Title - Anything you'd like, such as Error 404 Page. Alias - Type in a simple alias, such as 404. Make sure this menu is not published in a module position so it is not displayed. Step 3: Copy the Link Copy the URL from your menu and store it on a notepad since you will be using this URL in your error.php file. Step 4: Edit the error.php File Find your error.php file.Usually it is located in "templates/YourTemplate/system/error.php" or in "templates/YourTemplate/error.php". If you don't have an error.php file, create it in this folder:templates/YourTemplate/error.php. Please make sure that you have this security code at the top of the file: defined( '_JEXEC' ) or die( 'Restricted access'); Now we need our 404 page code. For Joomla 1.5 use this code: if ($this->error->code == '404') { header('Location: /theURLtoYour404Page'); exit; } For Joomla 2.5 and 3.x use this code: if ($this->error->getCode() == '404') { header('Location: /theURLtoYour404Page'); exit; } Step 5: Test Your 404 Type in a URL such as yoursite.com/blahblahblah to be red

I've spent error 404 redirect hours reading through and trying every example or fix listed on Stack Exchange and other sites with no luck. Such threads as: return 404 header with 404 page and 404 HTTP codes in Joomla I'm using the default .htaccess supplied with Joomla found here https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/blob/staging/htaccess.txt and in my global configuration I have url rewriting and search engine friendly urls enabled. I've tried with url rewriting off, search engine friendly urls off, redirect plugin disabled, renaming .htaccess to htaccess.txt, setting header and exit in error.php (although, I don't think error.php is even being loaded since everything redirects immediately to the homepage). I admittedly know little about .htaccess, but I have tried commenting some of the rewrite rules out and this one in particular RewriteRule .* index.php [L] is properly redirecting all real 404s to the error page, but index.php is present in all of my urls which is not desirable. If anyone could offer any insight I would be most appreciative, thank you. joomla-3.x .htaccess-configuration error
