404 Error Page
A Joomla plugin that displays a custom 404 error page within your site template. Choose a default page and separate pages for different languages while preserving the requested URL and HTTP status 404.
Description
404 Error Page displays a custom 404 error page within your Joomla site’s familiar design. Its content comes from a selected menu item, such as an article with an explanation, useful links and navigation suggestions.
The plugin displays the page at the original missing URL without redirecting visitors. The server returns HTTP status 404 so that search engines can correctly identify missing pages.
Key features:
- Select a default 404 error page.
- Assign separate pages to published site languages.
- Use the default page when a suitable language-specific page is not configured or is unavailable.
- Handle routing errors and 404 errors raised during component execution.
- Preserve the original missing path when switching languages, without requiring menu item associations.
- Prevent error-response caching and remove canonical links from the 404 page.
- Preserve the priority of redirects prepared by Joomla.
To configure the plugin, create and publish a menu item with the desired content, select it in the plugin settings and enable the plugin. If neither a default page nor a language-specific page is selected, Joomla uses its standard error handling.
