# New Plugin: Custom 404 Error Page

[![Settings for Custom 404 Error Page plugin for WordPress](https://kaspars.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/screenshot-1.png?strip=all&quality=90&resize=800,571 "Custom 404 Error Page plugin for WordPress")](https://github.com/kasparsd/custom-404-page)Settings for Custom 404 Error Page under “Settings › Reading”.



Ever wanted to use a regular WordPress page when a *404 Not Found* error is generated? WordPress has support for dedicated *home* and *posts* pages but leaves everything 404 related to the theme designer with no option for specifying custom title or content.

**[Custom 404 Error Page plugin](https://github.com/kasparsd/custom-404-page)** resolves that problem by allowing users to set any static page as the 404 error page right from the WordPress dashboard.

While the plugin is currently hosted on GitHub, I have applied for it to be included in the official plugin repository. If you would like to help translate the plugin, please visit the [translation project on Transifex](https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/custom-404-error-page/).
