How To Set A Custom Page Not Found On Blogger - And Redirect It To Your Homepage

Blogger is the one of the interesting Platform for sharing yours views and solving problem of other. It is found that, if some error happens to yours blog it become an uncomfortable situation or we can say an embarrassing situation. Today I am going to solve one of the problems related to blogger. some time it found that post is not showing in the blogger dashboard but showing in the google search.

when someone click on that showing the error message "404 Page not found".

As we don't have a directory access for blogger so blogger provides you option to redirect or show error message.

To reach to this section you have follow following steps:
STEP 1: Login to yours blogger account.
STEP 2: On the left hand side click on search Preferences.

STEP 3: Now click on Custom page not found under ERROR AND REDIRECT.

STEP 4: Paste the SCRIPT PROVIDED BELOW in the text box

<script type = "text/javascript">

BSPNF_redirect = setTimeout(function() {

location.pathname= "/"

}, 1000);

</script>

This is the one of the methods to do this. Basic logic behind this is redirect the error page calls to home page.

In the above script “location.pathname” is the path name where you want to redirect to the visitor if some error in page happens and 1000 is the time duration in the redirecting should be completed.

Another method to do this is just modifies the html team setting.

for that you have to go theme>edit Html.

now press ctrl + F

and type Head

In the starting itself you will find the code of error message if the page in not found. simply replace the URL with URL of yours home page.

if any dought please and comment box.
