Frog CMS

Create a custom 404 (Page not found) page

Frog CMS comes with a custom 404 plugin ready made, but it is not enabled by default. Here are the set up instructions:

1. Go to the “Administration” tab in the backend/admin, and enable (click in the box) the “Page not found” plugin.
2. Go to the “Pages” tab, and create a page as a child to “Home” called “Page not found”. You can only have one page of this kind.
3. Put your “Sorry, that page does not exist!” message in the body of the page.
4. Under the main editing box, set the Layout = “inherit”; Page type = “Page not found”; Status = “hidden”. Note: the page must be set to hidden for the plugin to function properly.
5. Save.

Visitors looking for a non-existent page will now get a “404” message that matches the rest of the site.
