The Forgotten 404 Page

1 replies
I don't know how many of you understand that if you run a WP blog and people type in a url incorrectly they go to a 404 page.

There are lots of things you can add to this page to make it part of your marketing however I have been working with Mark who makes Table Of Contents and wanting to add a site map (TOC) in this 404 page.

Well he came through today and you can now add a complete site map to your 404 page if you have the plugin installed.

This is also a great thing to do for your offline customers. Can be additional service or part of your package.

Here is a sample for one of my customers and what it looks like.

This will take you to their 404 page.

To add the plugin just go to plugins/add new

Type in Table of Contents and look for the one by Mark Beljaars

It is also a great Site Map plugin.

In your 404 page add this code just under where you see 404.

<?php echo tocc_build_toc(get_option('tocc_options')); ?>

Hope this helps.

    That's a very nice reminder.
    Just a few hours ago I realized that the 404 page of my new site was still untouched and thought the same thing! Didn't new about the plugin, though.
    Thanks!
