How do I redirect 404 to my homepage?

cutecat · June 9, 2013

Hi guys,

Currently I have viewed some of my visitors track, and they have entered a few 404 pages, is it possible to redirect them to my homepage instead of letting them see 404 page?

Dh42 · June 9, 2013

It is in your htaccess file on your server.

cutecat · June 9, 2013

this is in the htaccess

default is this

#If rewrite mod isn't enabled

ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?controller=404

i changed to this

ErrorDocument 404 /index.php

and it still shows 404 page.

there is also a 404.php in my root too. but I am not sure how to edit.

Pls advise

the ErrorDocument 404 /prestashop/404.php in .htacess should handle your 404 properly but if you want to redirect your all 404 pages then you should use this code in htacess instead of the above one

ErrorDocument 404 /

But i personally dont recommend it because it will redirect all 404 pages to your homepage and it will not help you to track the site original 404 issues.

i had some of my customers who are acting smarting smart by removing the product name to do to the category.

which gave them an error page

also I have placed ErrorDocument 404 /index.php and it does not work either

I have the same problem ... want to redirect all 404 errors to Homepage ... solution ErrorDocument 404 / dosent work.

Possible solution:

set friendlly url for 404 and then redirect this url to homepage

you have to put this code in htaccess:

# Redirect

Redirect 301 /page-not-found http://www.homepage.com

In my case friendly url is working for all pages except 404 error pages, so i can not do that.

dorje · June 13, 2013

Best way to solve the 404 issue is to track the 404 errors in Google webmaster and Google analytic and redirect them manually by htacess.

Frenkie · June 14, 2013

No Dorje that is not the Idea. I want that everyone, even those who type wrong address, come on page with marketing content not on ugly 404 error. This is also double work. Why not just redirect all 404 errors to the homepage?

siblibusro · June 14, 2013

is anyone success fix this trouble ?

if you want redirect error 404 you should edit in controller folder

How did you do that?

It looks great!

Can shine some lights for us?

scorpionsworld · July 16, 2013

Why not edit the 404 template file in the theme to do a javascript redirect?

That way you will still be able to track 404 errors and at the same time serve your visitors the homepage or any marketing page you want.

Just add:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
window.location.replace("yoururl");
//-->
</script>

That's because you placed the javascript in the wrong file. PHP is not able to execute Javascript, only parse PHP code before sending it to the browser, who in turn does know how to execute Javascript.

And don't comment out the getController function, it will kill the 404 error tracking and parsing the template.

Why not edit the 404 template file in the theme to do a javascript redirect?

I have new visitors from 404 pages. Instead of just redirecting them, I offer a special voucher at that 404 page to attract them searching my store, instead of 'forcing' them to view things they are not originally looking for.

do you all think it is a good thing to do?

dorje · August 14, 2013

But the redirect is 302 instead of 301 in your shop and how to get the 301 redirect.

Also its not working for the .1.4.7.3 version..

Dear friends.

This website has a great way. Its 404 page automatically redirect to home page in 30 seconds.

Try this link http://www.naaptol.com/thisiswronglink

I think that is most suitable way.

How we create our Prestashop 404 page with that method.

If anyone find a way, Please update this topic. It will help to everyone.

Just check the source of this 404 page. The redirect is not in 30 seconds, but 5 seconds.

<META HTTP-EQUIV="refresh" content="5; url=/">

Not suitable for Prestashop implementation.

Besides, wether you think this way is most suitable is irrelevant.

It's up to every shop owner to decide what best suites his shop or purpose of the 404 landing page.

Dh42 · October 18, 2013

Just do like I did with this site, show products http://zpalette.com/page-not-found?category_name=dogs

White Lion · October 19, 2013

Hello Dh42

Yes. That is good idea.

scorpionsworld is correct. We need most suitable way to our needs.

terungwa · December 7, 2013

You can use Location Header function to redirect a page. This script works when we have not send any php or html command to out put any thing in the browser. Care is to be taken not to send any other thing to the browser after the header redirection using location command. Here is the code.

<?php
header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
header ("Location: your homepage here");
exit;
?>

Simply drop the code above at the top of the controllers/front/PageNotFoundController.php file

thx, but didn't work.

I add this line to end of .htaccess file

# and the requested path and file doesn't directly match a physical folder

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

# internally rewrite the request to the index.php script

RewriteRule .* index.php [L]

I edit the code in PAGENOTFOUNDCONTROLLER.PHP file like this. And now Redirect works.

Orginal code was:

I replace it with this:

Now page loading mark doesent stop at all. See image.

        }

        parent::initContent();

        $this->setTemplate(_PS_THEME_DIR_.'404.tpl');
    }

    protected function canonicalRedirection($canonical_url = '')
    {
        // 404 - no need to redirect to the canonical url
    }

    protected function sslRedirection()
    {
        // 404 - no need to redirect
    }
}

Just found this lines

// header('HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found');
// header('Status: 404 Not Found');
header("Location: http://prestashark.eu/");

and insert yourdomain.com instead of prestashark.eu

thats all. works like a charm

How do I redirect 404 to my homepage?
