Hello

Is there a way I could change the text on the 404 page (‘Oops…etc.’) without going into and editing files? For example, as a custom CSS in the customizer?

(My site, by the way is diarypal.co.uk. WordPress version 3.9.2.)

Thanks,

Hi Micheal,

Thanks for writing in,

Unfortunately, You can’t change text content with only CSS, However, you can try using Javascript instead,

Just add this code below in your Customizer > Custom > Javascript and change the content accordingly,

(function($){ 
	//Change OOPS
	$('.error404 .h-landmark span').text('I am 404 Heading');
	
	//Change You blew up the Internet.
	$('.error404 .p-landmark-sub span').text('I am 404 Sub Heading');
	
	//Change Content Text
	$('.entry-404 .center-text').text('I am 404 Content');
})(jQuery)

Let me know how it works,

Cheers

Thanks for that, but I’m sorry to say it did not work. The 404 page remained unchanged.
This is what I pasted into the custom Javascript box in the customizer:

(function($){
//Change OOPS
$(‘.error404 .h-landmark span’).text(‘I am 404 Heading’);

//Change You blew up the Internet.
$(‘.error404 .p-landmark-sub span’).text(‘Not Logged In?’);

//Change Content Text
$(‘.entry-404 .center-text’).text(‘We can’t get to the page you were looking for. It might be because you have not logged in.’);
})(jQuery)

Hi there,

Copy _content-none.php file from Theme -> framework -> views -> global
And put it in the same path in your child theme ,open file and around line 14 you find
<h1 class="entry-title"><?php _e( 'Nothing to Show Right Now', '__x__' ); ?></h1>
change ‘Nothing to Show Right Now’ to any other word.

and around line 17 you can find
<p><?php _e( "It appears whatever you were looking for is no longer here or perhaps wasn't here to begin with. You might want to try starting over from the homepage to see if you can find what you're after from there.", '__x__' ); ?></p>
edit them as well.

Copy _landmark-header.php file from Theme -> framework -> views -> {STACK}
And put it in the same path in your child theme ,open file around line 92 you find

 <h1 class="h-landmark"><span><?php _e( 'Oops!', '__x__' ); ?></span></h1>
    <p class="p-landmark-sub"><span><?php _e( "You blew up the Internet. ", '__x__' ); ?></span></p>

change the texts as you wish.

Thank you.
