 * Dear,
 * I would like to redirect all worng pages to a generic customized 404 page. I 
   have seen that I can introduce (one by one) the broken links, but I would like
   to redirect all broken links to a specific 404 message.
 * How can I do this? I think I must write into “Target URL” the page with the generic
   customized 404 message I already created but I don’t know what to introduce in
   the “Source URL” to ensure it works with all not found pages.
 * Thank you so much in advance,
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fgeneric-404-redirection%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Your WordPress site already shows a 404 page. I do not recommend you redirect
   these elsewhere as it can negatively affect your site.

 * I just wanted to customize this 404 page, which seems to be highly recommended
   to offer a better friendly. Thank you John

 * You customise your 404 page by modifying your theme, or with a plugin such as
   404 page. Redirecting is the wrong way to customise the page.
