Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Page as 404

No. The plugin removes your designated 404 page from generated lists of Pages including on-site search results, blocks/widgets, REST API queries, and sitemap.xml. A noindex tag is added to the page header, asking external search engines to ignore it.
Your 404 Page is just a normal Page.
A standard 404 error code is served, unless you access the URL of the Page itself - in which case, it will be a 200 success message.
There is no Settings page; just an extra dropdown on the existing Settings > Reading page. The 404 Page itself exists as a normal Page, and can be found among your site's Pages.
Once a Page has been selected, any calls to the 404 template are intercepted, and replaced by a request for the selected 404 Page. If your theme contains a 404.php template, it will be ignored.
This plugin keeps things simple and clutter-free. There are numerous plugins in the WordPress repository already, which add functionality to redirect users, log details, or send alerts in the event of a 404 error. If you are looking for extra features, you will probably find them there.
