Redirect to main page

open 404.php file at your theme and replace code by the following:

<?php
header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
header("Location: ".get_bloginfo('url'));
exit();
?>

Deleting the theme’s 404 file doesn’t do exactly that?

thanks, but my wordpress theme does not have 404.php file ! the 404 error controlled through code something like below:

<div class="contentbody">
<p><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?></p>
</div>

…it exist in the index.php file of my wp theme.

Actually, I don’t think that’s a “404” error. It’s more like an invalid query inside WP.

You get a 404 when a file is not where you are looking for; e.g. yourblog.com/moshu.html

moshu,

i mean exactly like in your site, when i requested a page that does not exist like:

https://wp101blog.info/diabolus

..then i get message:

Not Found
Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn’t here.

it exactly happened in my blog. so i want when typing :

https://wp101blog.info/diabolus (a page that does not exist)

then i/we will be redirected to main page: https://wp101blog.info

..and these message, of course, will not be appeared.

so please tell me?

Resolved ??
