404 Error Questions (modify page and URL redirect)

Posted in: Newspaper

1. Here is a link to get to our 404 page:

http://ecoronado.com/news/2009/03/04/listen-to-tapes-military-jet-had-chance-to-lasssssnd-before-fatal-crash/?tag=obituary

How do we modify the ‘our latest posts’ under the 404 message? They are NOT pulling the latest posts for some reason.

2. Sometimes when people click on an old URL, the 404 page doesn’t come up, but rather, another page comes up in it’s place (a redirect or something). How do we make sure it goes to a 404 page and not a random page?

Ex. Click this ‘old’ link: http://www.ecoronado.com/profiles/blog/list?tag=people&user=beachlocal

It should go to a 404 page, but goes to this one:

http://ecoronado.com/news/2009/03/04/listen-to-tapes-military-jet-had-chance-to-land-before-fatal-crash/?tag=people&user=beachlocal

Thanks,
Steve

Hi,

1. The Our latest posts block from 404 template should display 6 from your latest posts. Here you can find the 404 template – http://screencast.com/t/r6p39bgXiA Please check this without any plugins active except of Visual Composer and clear cache.
Also you can translate “Our latest posts” from Theme Panel > Translations – http://screencast.com/t/geRDMTdoZzuU

2. Try to re-save the permalinks from Settings > Permalinks and also disable all your plugins except of Visual Composer, clear cache. Maybe it is caused by a plugin that you use. Do you use a redirect plugin?

Thanks!

It’s pulling the most recent articles, but in the reverse order. How do we have the newest story show up first on the 404 page?

Hi,

It should display latest articles – http://screencast.com/t/caEuN9jYC Please disable all your plugins except of Visual Composer, clear cache and also remove any custom modifications to the theme files and then see if you still have this issue.
If the issue persist try to add this order – http://screencast.com/t/kp7DAqilS

'order' => 'DSC',

Thanks!
