How do I create my own 404 page?

When visitors to your site enter or link to a non-existent page, they are automatically redirected to a 404 page. Creating a custom 404 page can help give your site a unique personality. You can create your own custom 404 page using the Theme Builder. 

The 404 page template is a site part and can be found by navigating to Templates>Theme Builder from the WordPress dashboard and selecting Error 404. Here you have quick access to add, edit, or delete your 404 templates.

If no Error 404 Templates have been created yet, you need to create one. Click Add New in the upper right corner of the Error 404 Site Part screen.

Once you’ve created at least one Error 404 Template, you will be able to manage them here.
