Hi..
I can’t apply this rule
ErrorDocument 404 http://www.domain.com
and my host suggest me to contact the template provider. How can I make all 404 error page auto redirect to homepage instead of showing 404 page?
Question: Wouldn’t it better to redirect to homepage instead of showing error page?
Regards,
Joseph

The correct way would to use .htaccess although you’ll need some apache knowledge to do it that way.
The other way is to build your own custom 404 page and then put inside that page a link a user can click to take them to the home page or you can use some javascript to navigate to the home page after that page renders or you can use php’s header(‘Location: http://www.myhomepage.com‘);

There are also several JOOMLA EXTENSIONS available for this function as well.

Hi…
As far as I know, JoomlArt template override the Joomla default 404 Error page (even describe in the 10 bonus pages) That’s why, it doesn’t work even if I place the code “ErrorDocument 404 http://www.domain.com” into .htaccess. I think no need to use extension too.
My question is how to change the JoomlArt 404 Error page back into the Joomla default? That should solve the problem.

Hi,
You can simply remove the error.php in templates/<template-name> directory – this is overridden file for template. Then Joomla! will use the error system file.

Hi @saguaros,
I remove the error.php file, and apply the ErrorDocument 404 http://www.domain.com” into .htaccess. But now, I see the default Joomla error page instead of redirecting to homepage:

Any tips?
