    hi there,

    i have set a custom 404-page withhin the enfold-settings in a child theme.
    theme > options > custom error 404 page

    Before the update, when entering a “wrong” url, the content of that page was shown and a HTTP status 404 was send back to the client. The URL in the address field of the browser didn’t change. Everything ok and correct.

    But now, with Enfold 4.5, a not existing url is been redirected with a status ‘302’ to the custom error page url with a status ‘200’ … thats not good … and might cause problems with search bots / the google index.

    Test-URL (test with httpstatus.io): https://tabulor.de/hello/test

    result

    Hey Christian,

    Can you give us temporary admin access to your website in the private content box below, so that we can have a closer look?

    Best regards,

    I don’t think it’s a specific problem of my page setup … but you can have a look … :-)
    Access details below.

    Update to my issue:

    i solved the 200-status by adjusting the settings of WP Super Cache. Which wasn’t necessary before Enfold 4.5.

    But the requirement to do so seems to result because of a change how Enfold handles 404 errors … i think.
    A missing url is now redirected with a 302 to the custom 404 error page instead of just showing the content of that page while staying at the requested (missing) destination-url with a 404 response directly.

    So … that last part is still in question.

    The previous behaviour of Enfold can be seen here at an older version (4.4) example:

    => https://kriesi.at/themes/enfold-elegant-portfolio/a-wrong-url-test

    It stays at the “wrong” url … sends a 404 response … no redirect … just displaying the content of the custom 404 page. That’s how it should be.

    The unwanted behaviour is caused by the workaround for WPML by Günter in “functions-enfold.php” line 2211 ff. in version 4.5 of Enfold compared to version 4.4.

    Function: ‘av_error404’

    Maybe you can find a better way to support WPML without that redirect solution?

    Edit: the plugin “404page” (https://de.wordpress.org/plugins/404page/) works as expected and is compatible to WMPL … maybe it can be a source / an inspiration for a solution …

    Is someone looking into this?
    Would be nice to hear a reply about how and if it will be or not be changed in future releases.

    For now, i will use that additional plugin to achive the accurate behavior without redirect.
    But it would be great if the option from Enfold could work like before.

    Hi,
    Sorry for the late reply, I see that the dev team has opened a issue for this and is working on it. I’m sure they will post here once they have a solution, but I will also try to keep you informed of updates.

    Best regards,
    Mike
