404 Error Page

Category: Plugins

Version: 1.0.2

Date: 16 October 2026

Extension type: Plugin

Folder: System

Compatibility: J5, J6

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.

What I love about working with the guys at Joomla Center, besides their excellent knowledge of their craft, is their patience and politeness. No irritation at stupid questions, no arrogance, no eye-rolling, no heavy sighs. On the contrary, they explain things very politely and clearly, give recommendations, do things quickly and competently, and if something goes wrong, they'll fix it just as quickly. Five stars on all counts! As they say now, I'm hooked!

I want to express my sincere gratitude to the Joomla Center team for their professional assistance! After my site was hacked, their specialists quickly identified and eliminated all the consequences of the attack, patched vulnerabilities, updated the software, and restored the site to its original state. I was especially pleased that the work was not only done efficiently but also with detailed explanations of all the steps taken.
