    Jesus,

    When I clicked your link, I was taken to a page which redirected me to your 404 page! I thought you didn’t like redirects? ;) Sorry, bud…couldn’t resist… :)

    I have my blog in /blog/. When I enter /blog/super/ (doesn’t exist), I get the following returned: » Home > Search Results for: blog/super. How can I change this?

    Thanks

    WP comments love to delete anything between code tags.. sorry.

    I will post code (and the answer to your problem CarL) in the wordpress forum topic.

    I get an error.

    Parse error: parse error, unexpected ‘:’ in /home2/caldwell/public_html/carlbanks/errors/404.php on line 4

    Don’t worry.. I got it. Here is the code I use.


    < ? $URI_prefix = "/blog/"; $search_preterm = str_replace($URI_prefix,"",$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']); $search_term = substr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'],1); $search_term = stripslashes($search_preterm); $search_term = urldecode(stripslashes($search_term)); $search_url = 'http://davidblog.ws/blog/index.php?s='; $full_search_url = $search_url . $search_term; $full_search_url = preg_replace('/ /', '%20', $full_search_url); $full_page = implode("", file($full_search_url)); print_r($full_page); die(); ?>

    Thanks a lot for this tool. I left TypePad and I thought that I’d lost all that traffic, but this redirects it all to the relevant post on my new site. As a note, copying and pasting the text from here gave me an ‘unexpected “:”‘ error and I had to copy it from the WordPress Forum. As another note, I added the line

    $full_search_url = preg_replace(‘/_/’, ‘%20′, $full_search_url);

    to strip out the underscores TypePad inserts, if anyone else is using it for that purpose. Anyways, thanks a lot for building this community.

    Is there a .shtml format for that? My current host doesn’t allow me to use a .php extension for my error pages so I can’t use that 404 code above. Any ideas?

    You’re demo link returns a 404 error ;)

    The server change killed it. It should be operational soon.

    Nice idea – but your own test page shows
    “The requested document was not found on this server.”!

    Hi

    I’ve just moved from blogware to WP and I’m trying to get my head around this. can I ask two questions please:

    1. when you say:

    Then open up the .htaccess in the root of your blog and add the following on a new line: ErrorDocument 404 /404.php

    Where exactly do I find the .htaccess file? I can’t see it in my file manager

    2. In which folder should I save the 404.php file? In – blog/404.php?

    thanks in advance for any help.

    Everton
