Joomla Custom 404 Error Page | Joomla Website Designers

The Qlue Joomla custom 404 component detects when your website has a page error and redirects a user to your own custom 404 error page. The component will redirect any HTTP errors including 404 Page not found, 403 Forbidden and 500 Internal server error. This means you can improve on the ugly standard error page and generate an error page that's user friendly, navigational and even include a search box to help direct the user to the page they are looking for.

In addition Qlue Joomla custom 404 allows you to maintain a list of URLs that you would like to redirect simply because pages have moved or users make common typing errors. Custom error handling pages can be created for the most common errors.

Please note: SEF URLs must be enabled for this to work properly. This is because Joomla core does not work properly in processing error pages in non-SEF mode. See FAQs for more information.

Qlue Joomla Custom 404 not working - what have I done?

If you see the standard, ugly Joomla 404 error you may need to enable the Qlue Joomla Custom 404 plugin in Extensions Manager -> Plugins. This should be enabled automically when first installed but it may have been disabled.

Can I load modules in the error page?

Yes, it is possible to load modules through this error page but only within the content using
{ loadposition xx }

If you need more help about setting about a load position, click here

Also check that the module is assigned to all pages.

Qlue Custom 404 is reverting to the default theme on my template?

The custom 404 component will load your default theme for an error page. The reason is because you can only assign different styles/ templates by selecting a menu item for this to be applied. An error page does not have a specific menu item. If you want to change a theme for your error page you need to make sure that the theme is assigned to "All" pages and do not just toggle all menu items.

I just see the homepage instead of the custom error page.

For Qlue custom 404 to work correctly you must have SEF urls enabled on your site. If SEF urls are disabled on your site and you go to an invalid url like: http://www.example.com/some-error-page, Joomla! will just display the home page instead of producing an error.

Can I include pictures on the 404 error page?

You can customize your error page just as if you were customising an article. You can use your own editor and insert pictures, links.
