HTD 404 Plugin
This plugin will simply allow you to point to a page to serve up if you get a 404 error. Also it marks it as 404.
Why choose this plugin?
- 404 pages not working?
- Would you like to have a custom 404 page?
- Would you like the 404 page to be a static page?
- Do you need to have a WordPress CMS page as your 404 page?
This plugin does it!
This a rebel plugin that does not use WordPress’s 404 hook. It was developed for themes or plugins that cause issues with the hook itself.
For more information see FAQ page.
Installation
- Upload files to the
/wp-content/plugins/
directory - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
- Under Settings > 404 Settings Enter full URL of page you want the 404 page to show. Can be a html page!
Screenshots

FAQ
Does the response of the 404 become a 302 or 301?
No, we keep the response to 404, so that search engines know.
Can I change the response to be a 301 or 302?
Currently not. We hope to have this in a later version.
Any bugs?
Update to the latest version.
No reports on any bugs.
Theoretically untested bug:
* Dynamic login information may not show up on the 404 page.
Because this is untested, I am unsure if this causes an issue or not. If it does, add a support topic so I can test for you.
