    Thanks. I haven’t been able to find a friendly editor of the 404 page for this or other themes. So I’m doing it in the Theme File Editor. The WordPress docs list this as one of several ways to add shortcodes, so it seems like it ought to work.

    In fact when I look at my live 404 page ( https://blog.nerdbank.net/2009/10/vs2008-project-template-for-openid-and.html ), it kinda does, because I see this HTML in the place of the shortcode:

    So I guess the question is, given it’s a 404, why doesn’t it recognize it as such?

    @aarnott I’ve never tried that. It looks like your message was deleted. Did you get it to work? I can’t tell what it is you’re seeing instead of what you’re supposed to, but my first guess is that you’re testing by going directly to the 404 page instead of causing a 404 and being redirected there automatically?

    regards

    That’s funny. I see a copy of my message in one of your messages above, and it includes the link to repro the problem. It’s not directly to the 404 page, but rather to a link that produces a 404, and since the plugin doesn’t manage to redirect this one automatically, I at least want it to list the closest matches, which will probably include the right one.

    Here is the link again: https://blog.nerdbank.net/2009/10/vs2008-project-template-for-openid-and.html

    If I understand correctly, you’re trying to use the shortcode with php instead of the wordpress editor. Did you try using 

    <?php echo do_shortcode( '[abj404_solution_page_suggestions]' ); ?>

    ?

    From the 404 Solution plugin on the page, it is generating code that says “<!– abj404_solution – No 404 was detected. No suggestions to offer. –>”

    So perhaps there is another plugin that’s redirecting or changing the status of the 404, which won’t allow the plugin to detect it.
