    Hi there,

    Currently, when I assign a Custom Error 404 Page in the Enfold Settings, all URLs triggering a 404 error are being redirected to that assigned page. This works nice, but has one flaw; for example the Google Search Console now only logs 1 URL on my site with a 404 error code; the custom page I chose. I’m afraid Google at some point could judge this as if things are sabotaged; even when hundreds of pages are not exisiting anymore; they’re all redirected to one page, which is the only page logged as a 404.

    We’ve actually seen this happen last week, and we’ve immediately unset the Custom 404 Page. I think the solution should be to render the custom 404 page on the actual URL’s that’s causing the 404, instead of redirecting to the custom 404 page.

    Regards,
    Steve

    That should be solved in one of the future releases of Enfold … maybe even in the upcomming version together with the handling of other special pages like ‘maintenance page’ and ‘footer pages’.

    Until then i use this plugin and it works well … maybe it is also a good temp solution for you too:

    Hi Steve,

    Is this still happening if you update to Enfold 4.5.2?

    Best regards,
    Rikard
