 * wow, i just realize that you’re the one write eshop plugin and zenlite theme.
 * WOW!
    nice to meet you..
 * i try using zenlite
    and 404.php code is:
 *     ```
       <?php ob_start(); ?>
       <?php header("HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found"); ?>
       <?php header("Status: 404 Not Found"); ?>
       <?php get_header(); ?>
   
       <div id="content">
       <div <?php post_class('page'); ?>>
       <h2 class="post-title">Page Not Found</h2>
   
       <p>Uh oh! I can't seem to find the file you asked for.</p>
   
       <p>Perhaps you:</p>
   
       <ul>
       <li>tried to access a post or archive which has been removed</li>
       <li>followed a bad link</li>
       <li>mis-typed something</li>
       </ul>
   
       <p>Try using the main navigation menu to find what you're looking for.</p>
   
       <p>Or you may just wish to return to the <a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/">Home page</a>.</p>
   
       </div>
   
       <?php get_footer(); ?>
       ```
   
 * and the title show: **Blog Title – Page not found!**
    i still don’t get it….
 * argh…
    i tried dozens of theme.. and still can’t find the solution.

 * Back again!
 * You can’t drop a template file from one theme into another theme. As you’ve seen
   it simply won’t work 99% of the time. What’s the problem with the 404 in the 
   arjunax theme? Is it that you want a search term to show up in the page’s title(
   ie in the top left of the browser bar)? If so, there are 2 problems with that…
 * 1. You’re editing the wrong template file. You need to look in header.php.
 * 2. The visitors who see your 404 page won’t have typed in a search term. They
   will probably have followed a bad/broken link or made a mistake when typing the
   url into the address bar of their browser.
