Practical Guide to 404 Error Pages: What WordPress is Missing
I saw the above article (Practical Guide to 404 Error Pages: What WordPress is Missing) following blog post from Yoast when it was posted a few months back. At the time it didn’t mean much to me because the place I would have used it on is running a ColdFusion server. Well, last week I made some changes to my blog while doing some SEO. Then I found myself in the situation where 1 of my old blog posts was showing up #1 in the Google organic search results for a particular query and that link ended up giving a 404 Error. The Yoast post meant something to me then.
Anyway, long story short, I went back and found this article and installed the 404.php code from the article and viola!
Well anyway, see for yourself… http://clickkinetics.com/archives/9 (The outdated url with the new useful 404 Error page which automatically provides the reader with a link to the correct former page with new url).
