Where do I change the 404 page?

After 45 minutes on the site and in the backend I can’t find it and can’t search….

Thanks for the update – I thought it would be extremely simple to find….

I see an article with a 404 in it and it read:
Each JA Joomla Template has its own matching 404 page. Below is the screenshot of 404 page style.

But I can’t find it in the Manage Templates ??? What am I missing?

Hi
You can find it in the template folder /error.php file
and error.css file is used for its style.

Okay … I see the file. Now what?

…seems like a natural to create a tool within the template manager to aid us…

I see php code, not html code.

What/Where do I make a change and "point" to an article.

It would make sense to use the template and display an informative, well formatted article that displays within the look of the site and not blast a lame 404 page… in my opinion.

So, what should I do now?

Thanks for your help.

According to the documentation in the link provided, it reads,

Edit the error.php file as follows, adding the code below immediately under the ‘restricted access’ line:

In the error.php file, I did a search for "restricted" – there was nothing found.

Now what?

Hi
You have to create your article for 404 page and then point this article via below code

if (($this->error->getCode()) == '404') {
header('Location: /index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1');
exit;
}

Place the code in error.php file http://prntscr.com/h463f8
Now it will open the article page when there is 404.

Regards

I did add the code – it didn’t work – so I removed it.

Take a look at the attachment in a previous post. That is what was change – and did not work.
