 * It is not recommended to edit a theme and there is no way to get rid of stuff.
   Is that easy ?

 * Is what easy?
 * You are right that you should not edit a theme – you should always use a child
   theme.

 * Thank you for reading my thread. But there is no way to customize this theme 
   page with a comment : “nothing found, we are sorry we didn’t find anything”. 
   A search window, a small pic on the left widget with no options to take any of
   these off

 * What theme are you using? It sounds like you’re talking about the default `404.
   php` or `content-none.php` files that most good themes have. If it doesn’t you
   can add those files in your own child theme and do any modifications that you
   want to.

 * Moving a Root install to its own directory
    I follow the guidelines and now I
   can’t log in to the admin page any more. Am I doing something wrong ?
