Hello,
I have installed Wordpress in the past successfully, but I am currently puzzled with my latest installment. All seems well until one type in a url that doesn't exist on the page. Instead of getting the friendly 404 message wrapped in the current theme (from 404.php), I get the classic 404 error message.
I read posts about changing the permalinks back to default (which it was to begin with), disabled plugins, but still no dice.
I also read posts about creating an .htaccess file with a redirect (blog/?404) and placing it in the root directory of the blog, but that's didn't helped. Perhaps I got the code wrong. The following is what I had:
ErrorDocument 404 index.php?error=404
I tried installing the latest version of Wordpress(3.1) again, using a newly created database, and before adding plugins, the theme I want to use - so in other words a clean fresh start, but I still get the classic 404 error message.
I also tried copying over an existing blog on another site of mine where the 404.php page is being read, but still no luck.
Not sure why what may be causing this as I have installed wordpress on sites in the past without a problem and the friendly 404 page works perfectly well.
I am not really sure what I am doing differently than I have in the past. The friendly 404 message works. Perhaps it is a web server issue and not Wordpress at all.
Any insights will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
RCorr
