Do you have a suggestion on how I can get a random 404 page displayed when a page isn't found.I use Wordpress and am currently using a custom 404.php file for displaying a 404 page but what I want is to have three or four different pages that are displayed randomly when a visitor 404s.
Multiple custom 404 pages
wordpress;404;random
You can create a dynamic output using PHP inside the 404.php template.Effectively you use the 404.php to include your header, footer and any navigation as per a normal template, and then swap out the normal loop and create a block of content that is randomised - e.g.:<? $num = Rand (1,4);switch ($num) { // Here's 4 different examples case 1: echo <div>content goes here</div>; //normal HTML break; case 2: echo $string_output_youve_set_earlier; //HTML in a string break; case 3: include 'random_block_3.php'; //a PHP block break; case 4: get_template_part('random','four'); //Using WordPress's own engine}?>
