Adding Coustom 404 Page

The 404 page is shown when a visitor opens a URL that does not exist. In Rakmyat, you design it with Elementor and assign it in Theme Options.

---

1. Create the 404 template in Theme Builder #

1. Log in to WordPress admin.
2. Go to Rakmyat Dashboard → Templates → Add New Template.
3. Enter a title, for example: 404 Page.
4. Click Edit with Elementor.

In Elementor, design your 404 layout, for example:

• Big title: “Page Not Found”.
• Short message explaining the page does not exist.
• Button back to Home.
• Optional search form or list of popular pages.

Click Publish when finished.

Set template type #

In the same template edit screen:

1. Scroll to Template Settings.
2. Set Template Type to 404 Page.
3. Enable Template Active.
4. Set Priority (1–100) if you plan to have more than one 404 template.
5. Click Update.

Now this template is registered as a 404 layout in the Theme Builder.

2. Assign the 404 page in Theme Options #

1. Go to Rakmyat Dashboard → Theme Options → 404 Page (or similar tab in Theme Options).
2. Under 404 Page Settings, choose your 404 template from the dropdown list (for example 404 Page).
   • The dropdown lists templates from Theme Builder (Header, Footer, Portfolio Archive, Services Archive, etc.). Choose only the one created for 404.
3. Click Save Changes.

From now on, whenever a visitor opens a non‑existing URL, the theme will show this Elementor 404 template.

3. Testing the 404 page #

1. Open your site in a new tab.
2. Manually type a wrong URL, for example:
   https://yourdomain.com/this-page-does-not-exist
3. Confirm that your custom 404 design appears.
4. Test the Home button and any links or search form in the layout.

4. Notes and troubleshooting #

• If you see the default WordPress 404 instead of your design:
  • Check that the template has Template Type = 404 Page and Template Active = Enabled.
  • Confirm that in Theme Options → 404 Page you selected the correct template and saved.
  • Clear caches (plugins, server, browser) and test again.
• Only one 404 template will be used at a time. If you have several, the one with the highest priority (according to your Template Settings logic) and selected in Theme Options is applied.

With this setup, you have a fully customizable 404 error page designed in Elementor and controlled by the Rakmyat theme options.
