Custom Error Pages

A convenient feature we have included is the ability to create a custom error page for your site. This means that if someone visits a page no longer associated with your site, via an outdated link for example, or if they mistype a page name associated with your website address, they will see the error page that you have customized. Editing this is a good idea to maintain the consistency of your site appearance in the event of an error.

This page can't be deleted. Page settings are manageable, however, and you can change the page name, description, and layout style, if other layouts exist for your theme.

Where to Find:

In order to access this page, you will need to make sure you are logged into your account and are currently using the site editor. Simply enter an address such as the following into your browser's address bar, replacing our example Viviti site with your own.

For example, if our website is:

http://example.viviti.com

The error page can be accessed to edit at this address:

http://example.viviti.com/404

Editing:

Assuming you're logged into your account and using the editor, your 404 error page will load within the editor, allowing you to make changes to it. This is edited in the same way as any other page. We have included some default content for your error page with some text in a content block:

Note: This is the error page that will be used in all cases where there is an error related to navigation with your site!
