Of course we do not want things like this happen on our blog visitor, the visitor close our blog because they do not find what they are looking for.

We can make a redirect (divert) eror 404 pages to other URL as we like, for example to the home or to a kategory. How to do that ? the answer is  by  edit the 404 template (404.php) through the Theme Editor.

Here is the steps :

• Dashboard of WordPress (WP-admin) menu go to Theme Editor.

• Select File 404 Themes Template (404.php). The nyou fwill found php code like this (not always the same):

<?php get_header(); ?><div id="content">
<div id="wrap">
<div id="contentleft">
<div class="postwrap">
<h2><?php _e('404 - Not Found'); ?></h2>
<p><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?></p>
</div>
</div>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
</div>
</div>
<!-- The main column ends -->
<?php get_footer(); ?>

• Erase all the code and replace with the following code:

<?php
header("Status: 301 Moved Permanently");
header("Location:http://www.derstinationUrl.com");
?>

• Change http://www.destinationUrl.com with the destination URL you want to do, eg to the home page of your blog.

• Click the Update File, then  done.

Now if a visitor open your dead link or typed wrong url they will automatically redirect to your blog homepage.
