Okay, I recently did this for my site, Lounge Boards, and I thought that I should tell you guys how to do it too step by step.


1. Add this code to the last line on your .htaccess

Spoiler:

Code:

ErrorDocument 404 /filenotfound.php

2.Create a file called filenotfound.php, and add this to it:

Spoiler:

Code:

<?php define('IN_MYBB', 1); require_once("global.php"); add_breadcrumb("404 Error", $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); eval("\$page = \"".$templates->get("404")."\";"); output_page($page); ?>

3. Upload the filenotfound.php file to your main website's directory.

4. Create a new template on your main theme with the name 404 and add this to it:

Spoiler:

Code:

<html> <head> <title>Your title</title> {$headerinclude} </head> <body> {$header} Your 404 Page Content {$footer} </body> </html>

5. Edit where it says Your 404 Page Content to whatever suits your needs.


That's it! You're done. Any page that gives you a 404 error will now show what you've put in your template.

Thanks for the tutorial, Ocean! This will come in useful, I hate those default HostGator 404 error pages.

I know. Luckily, I don't use Host Gator anyways, but I was tired of the default Lightspeed 404 error.
