You can modify the contents of that page in the 404.php file located in the root of the theme folder. The SEO related meta info can be alter via an SEO plugin like Yoast SEO.
What would be the best way to add some customization to the 404 page? I want to be able to have some shortcode buttons that direct them back to certain areas of the site as well as maybe change the message (instead of just 404 error). Would be nice if we had this option on back end but that's probably low on totem pole.
Hey Toni!
You can technically modify the 404.php file within the theme folder to be anything you want :)
Cheers!
Ok thanks!
Hello,
How can we change the title and the description of "404.php" ? To change "page not found" and the seo description ?
Thank you

Hello !
I had installed yoast but not seen functionality with 404 page title. I found it.
Thank you very much !
You're welcome :)

Hey Ed!
You can use shortcodes inside of the 404.php template do calling them inside of this:
<?php do_shortcode('[shortcode_here]'); ?>Also, you can modify the 404.php in a child theme to allow the mods to persist through updates :)
Cheers
Hey guys,
Any special instructions on having it in the child theme folder? Just copy the 404.php into the folder? Is that all there is to it?
Hey Drew!
Yes if the 404 is in the child theme it would load first .
Thanks
