How do I use a 404 plugin instead of the native X Theme 404 page

Hi, How do I use a 404 plugin instead of the native X Theme 404 page? Thanks!

Hey Doren,

Instead of using the Custom 404 extension, have you tried creating a Single Layout with this condition?

Please check this documentation:

https://theme.co/docs/layout-builder-overview
https://theme.co/docs/single-templates

Hope that helps.

Ok, I will try, but I don’t have the “Single Layout” as an option under the + Blank options. Please help. Thank you.

Hello Doren,

The single layout builder is only available with the Pro theme. Goind back to your question, it is best that you contact the creators of the 404 plugin that you are using. They should have a documentation that explains how you can easily use the plugin.

If you are using our Themeco 404 plugin, any custom page can be assigned as your 404 page.

Best Regards.

I would simply use your 404, but it’s not accesible via the methods in your docs. Can you please help me? Thank you.

Hey Doren,

You need to install the Custom 404 plugin first for you to see it under X menus.

Hope that helps.

Hi, unfortunately it does not help because there is no X menu anywhere. Please help. Thank you.

Hey Doren,

The issue with the X not displaying was caused by the Admin Menu Editor Pro plugin. I have temporarily disabled the plugin, and the X is now visible on your dashboard.

Hope that helps.

Awesome! I see it now. Installed & Activated, but it’s still not working. It’s not going to the staging site Homepage, it’s going to the current live site Homepage, which is wrong. How do I fix this? Thanks!

I even made a brand new page on the staging site and selected that page, but it still went to the live site homepage. What’s going on? Please help. Thank you.

Hey Doren,

I suspect that’s how the WP Staging plugin works, that’s why it is redirected to the live website. Also, you cannot see the homepage for your staging if you are not logged in. Once you push the staging data to live, it will work perfectly.

Hope that helps.

Ah, ok, gotcha. Awesome! I will let you know because we go live this weekend. Thanks again!

Hey Doren,

You’re most welcome!
