Every page on a website is accessible via a URL. When you access a certain page via a wrong URL, you will typically see an error message like “page not found” or other similar messages. In a technical language, this type of message is called 404 Error. It is a default error message conveyed by a web server when the page attempted to be accessed by users is not exist. In WordPress, the appearance of the 404 error page is varied, depending on the theme you use. If you don’t like the design of the default 404 error page offered by your theme (or maybe you want to add a certain element), you can create a custom 404 page. Brizy has a feature to do so.
Unlike other page builder plugins such as Elementor, Divi Builder, and Visual Composer, the feature to create a custom 404 page is available on the free version of Brizy so you don’t need to upgrade your Brizy if you don’t need the pro features.
