Wordpress Tip: Fix your Blog’s 404.php page

I was having trouble with both of my 2 blogs Dragon Blogger and Rock Along Productions where the 404.php page would render very poorly. Â My sidebars wouldn’t render correctly and the text “Page could not be found” was either not readable or would not display at all. Â After searching the Internet for solutions, I even copied in the default theme 404.php, but this would display even worse.
I found the easiest solution in the world.
Open up your themes “singlepost.php” and copy/paste all of the text from this file into your 404.php page. Â Then just change the wording to match what you want to say. Â Now all of my 404 pages render perfectly with the columns and even tell the user to go back to the home page and try searching for the topic or category.
Try this little tip out if you don’t like your 404 or Page Not Found appearance, it worked pretty well for me.
