It is certainly a feature request we can look into. Thank you for the update.
I was looking for this too! I figured Theme X would have this option 😉 coming soon then!
Cool we get so many replies from mods though, thanks!In the meantime, how do you guys edit your 404 pages?
Because this requires a template change, I’d advise that you setup a child theme. This allows you to make code changes that won’t be overwritten when an X update is released. After your child theme is setup, please review how we recommend making template changes in Customization Best Practices.
Once you have that set up you will have to copy the 404 php page and then make the changes you wish. I hope this helps.
404’s are a pain to deal with. You guys have a great point, and I’d love to see ThemeCo provide that for their existing users, and also make it a[nother] bullet point on their sales page.
BUT….
404’s are very unique in function, so the plugin route might not be able to hang with ThemeCo’s framework.
Now, if you know a bit of php, you can edit
wp-content/themes/x/framework/views/global/_content-404.phpThere you’ll find the actual contents and text of the 404 page. For example, if you do NOT want/ need a search box, simply comment out line 12.
Now, I just need to brush up on my php a bit more so that this code:
<p class="center-text"><?php _e( 'The page you are looking for is no longer here, or never existed in the first place (bummer). Let's try this again from the beginning. <a href="http://storage-depot.com">Storage Depot</a>', '__x__' ); ?></p>actually works correctly.
I just want to redirect people back to the homepage, or ~perhaps~ even a store specific page. Unfortunately my php suck worse than a Dyson.Really wish ThemeCo would throw us a bone here for simple 404 customization.
Boom. Open and close php for html [or something like that]
check it now

Thank you Brad for your contribution. That will certainly help to edit 404 pages.
I would also love to see this feature! I have LeadPages, which allows me to make one…but I’d like to create one that looks like the rest of my site.
Hi Jessica! Sure, added your vote request too 🙂 Cheers!
I had a cool 404 page on my static website which has now been bypassed to the new 404 page which is pretty boring, and a pain to change. I had used an .htaccess file that would divert to the static page. The line of code was:
ErrorDocument 404 /page-not-found.htmCan you tell me if I disable the 404 plugin, if my old 404 page will again be visible? But wait, that page was using my old template? I suppose I could create a new page “/page-not-found” within the new X template. Would that work?
I guess the larger question is if the .htaccess file will continue to work once I go live with the WordPress site?
(FYI, I am developing the new WordPress site on the same server account as the current static website. When I’m ready to go live, I’ll simply remove those static pages from the server.)Hi Tom,
Thanks for writing in!
This is a very old thread and there has been a lot of changes and features addition since then. We now have our own Custom 404 extension 🙂 that you can use to create custom 404 pages in your site. Learn more about our Custom 404 extension here: https://theme.co/x/member/kb/extension-custom-404/
Thank you!
Hello,
I created my custom 404 page but when I use safari as a browser, the titkle only appear (page developed in cornerstone).
In chrome everything is fine.
Any settings I should be using differently?

http://wellnessleadership.org/we-are-sorry/Hi there,
Can you confirm that you are fully updated? (Theme and Plugins)
You can find the latest version numbers here: (http://theme.co/changelog/) Then you can compare them to what’s installed on your site.
If you find anything to be out of date, you can review our update guide.
Thanks.
