I changed the […] via wp-includes/formatting.php myself! It worked just fine, I wonder why it didn’t work for you? ?? What a shame! It’s so much easier to just edit a line of code than to install an entire plugin, at least in my opinion.

Oh, and don’t mind moshu — He’s quite rude in all of his ‘support’ posts, and he seems to believe that no one knows more about WordPress than him. Not sure how he became a moderator with that sort of attitude!

Never mind, I figured it out. [No thanks to you guys. :/ ]

I modified the 404.php page as so, and everything works perfectly now.

<?php get_header(); ?>

<div id="container">

<div class="imagetitle">
<img src="https://www.example.com/wordpress/404error.gif" alt="404 Error" title="404 Error" /></div>

<div class="post">
<h3>Sorry, that page wasn't found.</h3>
</div>
</div>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

</div>
</body>
</html>

If anyone’s willing to help, I’d be about ready to send them a cash reward by now! ??

I’m just going to bump this. I’ve been working for hours, trying to figure this out on my own … But I’m not having much luck! ??

I’ve discovered something strange … When I switch my permalink structure from /%postname%/ to /%category%/%postname%/, my 404 page works perfectly every time.

It also works when I use simply /%post_id%/ … Just never when I use /%postname%/ on its own. Very strange.

Here’s to hoping someone responds.

Er, anyone have any insight …?
