Creating A 404 Elementor Page For Free

1. Create a New Page:
   • Go to your WordPress dashboard and navigate to Pages > Add New.
   • Give your page a title like “404 Page Not Found” and design it using the Elementor Free plugin.
2. Note the Page Slug:
   • After publishing your page, note down the page slug. For example, it might be something like /page-not-found.
3. Edit the 404.php File:
   • In your WordPress dashboard, go to Appearance > Theme Editor.
   • Locate and click on 404.php in the list of theme files on the right-hand side.
4. Add Redirect Code:
   • Inside the 404.php file, you’ll see some PHP code. Look for the closing curly brace } at the end of the file.
   • Directly above this closing brace, add the following PHP code:
     php

     <?php header("Location: /page-not-found"); exit; ?>
   • Replace /page-not-found with the actual slug you noted in step 2.
5. Update the File:
   • Click on the Update File button to save your changes.
6. Testing:
   • Now, whenever a visitor encounters a 404 error on your website, they will be redirected to the custom 404 page you created with Elementor Free.

Note:

1. 1. • This method involves editing theme files directly, which can be overwritten when you update your theme. You’ll need to reapply this change after each theme update.
      • Ensure that the slug (/page-not-found in this example) matches exactly with the slug of the page you created in step 1.

By following these steps, you can effectively create a custom 404 page using Elementor Free, providing a better user experience for visitors who encounter missing or broken links on your website.
