# Styling WordPress error pages

 * When someone wants to leave a comment and forgets to fill out a required field
   it will be redirected to a ugly plain WordPress page that doesn’t fit the design.
 * I have looked into the specific file (wp-comments-post.php) but do not understand
   enough of it to alter all of this…
 * Is there a easy way to change the looks of error pages?
 * It seems to miss all header and footer things and so, but when I add these all
   hell breaks loose…

 * The actual location of this HTML is inside the wp-die() function in wp-includes/
   functions.php.
 * Short of editing that file, there’s no current way to change the look of that
   page.

 * I will look into the functions.php, thanks! Maybe this is something to focus 
   on?…
