Title: Page Errors Apache / cPanel | 404 Handler AO WORKING Last modified: January 14, 2021 --- # Page Errors Apache / cPanel | 404 Handler AO WORKING * [Nadav Levi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/123nadav/) * (@123nadav) * [5 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/page-errors-apache-cpanel-404-handler-ao-working/) * Hey Frank, good morning šŸ™‚ * So as you know from my previous post we fix the handler. I figure out, Nginx can do for you everything, you only need to activate the handler via Autoptimize.(- Nginx smart bro :)-) * Now. another issue is the other error pages. server get in normal day 404 from other companies destroy your rank. bad backlinks in URL to destroy SEO. example: locksmithunit.com/we-sell-showes/ bad crawlers. advertise companies. and more stuff like thatā€¦ * FRANK IS A WAR :-0 * Now from my previous post. I found this: # [https://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_an_Error_404_Page](https://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_an_Error_404_Page) * This is the hardcoded of 404 ships with WordPress. this said to do this: * ``` # https://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_an_Error_404_Page ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?error=404 # Apache cPanel Default #ErrorDocument 400 /400.shtml #ErrorDocument 401 /401.shtml #ErrorDocument 403 /403.shtml #ErrorDocument 404 /404.shtml #ErrorDocument 406 /406.shtml #ErrorDocument 500 /500.shtml ``` * and AO Hendler shows the fallback: [https://locksmithunit.com/wp-content/cache/autoptimize/js/autoptimize_fallback.js](https://locksmithunit.com/wp-content/cache/autoptimize/js/autoptimize_fallback.js) [https://locksmithunit.cat/wp-content/cache/autoptimize/js/autoptimize_fallback.js](https://locksmithunit.cat/wp-content/cache/autoptimize/js/autoptimize_fallback.js) [https://locksmithunit.es/wp-content/cache/autoptimize/js/autoptimize_fallback.js](https://locksmithunit.es/wp-content/cache/autoptimize/js/autoptimize_fallback.js) * __________________________________________ * Now the problem is nothing not stop the real 404 have on a daily basisā€¦ I off the plugin 404 redirect home page because you said is not working. (btw the plugin has the ā€œhardcodedā€ code from WordPress) but when we test it, you said is not working. * now I try to do custom error pages with c-panel: * ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?error=404 * # Apache cPanel Default ErrorDocument 400 /400.shtml ErrorDocument 401 /401. shtml ErrorDocument 403 /403.shtml ErrorDocument 404 /404.shtml ErrorDocument 406 /406.shtml ErrorDocument 500 /500.shtml` * is not work as wellā€¦ Now, I really donā€™t know if have a plugin to do it together with AO 404 Hendler. But i think Cpanel error pages is our best shot. * The problem is WordPress take control no matter if I remove all the error document and the handler. * We must make the HTML error pages to appear when we have 404 except Autoptimize CSS/js. * maybe a set of rules? if have a plugin you know i donā€™t care to try it. - This topic was modified 5 years, 4 months ago by [Nadav Levi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/123nadav/). * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fpage-errors-apache-cpanel-404-handler-ao-working%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) * Plugin Author [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * (@optimizingmatters) * [5 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/page-errors-apache-cpanel-404-handler-ao-working/#post-13908272) * Pretty much out of scope of AO really, but ā€¦ I guess your theme has a 404.html template, change that (in a child theme) to redirect to the homepage maybe? * Thread Starter [Nadav Levi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/123nadav/) * (@123nadav) * [5 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/page-errors-apache-cpanel-404-handler-ao-working/#post-13908391) * I have with Mesmerize, i will chack in the docomantions. but the problem is, it is really gonna redirect with the AO hendler? * Thread Starter [Nadav Levi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/123nadav/) * (@123nadav) * [5 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/page-errors-apache-cpanel-404-handler-ao-working/#post-13908422) * I can use a plugin as well. if have a redirection wp plugin do it and you know the plugin go along with AO 404 Tell me i will try him. * Plugin Author [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * (@optimizingmatters) * [5 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/page-errors-apache-cpanel-404-handler-ao-working/#post-13908428) * I would think so, but youā€™ll need to test/ check, I have no experience with that really šŸ™‚ * Thread Starter [Nadav Levi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/123nadav/) * (@123nadav) * [5 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/page-errors-apache-cpanel-404-handler-ao-working/#post-13908583) * Frank is a big issue. Is not your fault, and this not so hard, you only need to find a good plugin can be hendel 404 along with AO 404. * I already download this, he has users like you, and he has good support. * look good for now is installed on: locksmithunit.com * I still check it and test it: [https://redirection.me/](https://redirection.me/) * If you have something better, update me in the post. * Plugin Author [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * (@optimizingmatters) * [5 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/page-errors-apache-cpanel-404-handler-ao-working/#post-13908728) * > If you have something better, update me in the post. * Donā€™t have experience with that, no. * But good youā€™re finding what you need though Nadav! šŸ™‚ * Thread Starter [Nadav Levi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/123nadav/) * (@123nadav) * [5 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/page-errors-apache-cpanel-404-handler-ao-working/#post-13909002) * Is not only me. Is everybody will need to do it. I understand why apache not working. * WordPress design the API WordPress to control the permalink. everything must be controlled by WordPress. * if people want to use AO 404 hendler they will need to do what I do right now, * If not they will get rank dropping in SEO or server 404 errorsā€¦ * This is very tricky, from one side you use the AO Hendler to not get a 404 on css and js. * from the other side, you need to deal with the daily 404 or any other error. this is A-B-C of the new WordPress and you must inform or instruct people before they activate the AO 404 Hendler. if not something worst will hit their websites. * in this scenario SEO with google, the mine propose of creating a website. * Plugin Author [Optimizing Matters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/optimizingmatters/) * (@optimizingmatters) * [5 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/page-errors-apache-cpanel-404-handler-ao-working/#post-13909022) * while missing autoptimized JS/ CSS is in scope of Autoptimize, not-found pages do not (SEO plugins might have functionality for that). * but indeed the way 404ā€™s are handled does not only depend on WordPress, but also on webserver setup (and some hosters donā€™t want 404ā€™s to be handled by WordPress as that can increase server load significantly as 404ā€™s are typically not cached by page caches). * Thread Starter [Nadav Levi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/123nadav/) * (@123nadav) * [5 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/page-errors-apache-cpanel-404-handler-ao-working/#post-13909206) * Yes, but you must understand, WordPress tries to pull out everything and go on its own. before WordPress 5.5.6 you was able to use Error Pages with Cpanel. * now you not because of this: # [https://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_an_Error_404_Page](https://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_an_Error_404_Page) * You cant. You must understand these everyday changes. Google too. * AO is the best tool I ever see for WPā€¦ * this the reason I told you to do the option clean the cache, this will be revolutionary. * Think about that, without the use of wp-cache, a cache system like Autoptimize is the next thing. especially with Nginx, in the minute AO is fully automatic isā€¦ WOW * But have more stuff like SEO (in this case 404) * And AO must be compiled with the AO 404 hendler you offer. If not make more damage from helping.
