Having Trouble With 404 Page Not Found?

I had a couple of issues with 404 not found pages in my Google console after I deleted the posts from my website.

If anyone is having the same issues here is how to rectify it.

Login to wordpress click on Edit Themes. Look for the 404 template and right at the top paste this code in: Save it. This will redirect any 404 not found error pages to your Home Page.

This solves the problem. Check any 404 error links that you may have on your console.Once you paste in this code to back and click on the error links and it should go straight to your home page.

<?php
header(“HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently”);
header(“Location: “.get_bloginfo(‘PLACE YOU HOMEPAGE URL HERE’));
exit(); ?>

Hope this is helpful
