    custom Error 404: Page Not Found?

    The domain name and subsequent webpages I pointed zenfolio to, served picture galleries from lots of pages elsewhere on the web (eg. forum posts on dpreview.com). So when someone clicks on these external links they now get an Error 404: Page Not Found. Is there a way to construct a custom 404 error page in order to present clues as to where to find the right pages or at least a pointer to my new homepage? As most web hosting services allow for custom error pages this 'feature' would be not too difficult to implement.

    Re: custom Error 404: Page Not Found?

    I have an existing site that has been around for several years. So if I start using zenfolio all the external links to my site are going to give 404 error pages. This isn't a major problem but the current 404 error page is a zenfolio page and doesn't give the visitor any way to find my site.

    Because of this I'd also like to be able to customize the default 404 error page. Or if that's not possible at least have it redirect to the front page of my site instead of the zenfolio page.

    Thanks

    A "personalized" error page that matches the theme and links back to your home page is on our to-do list.
