Custom 404 error page not showing correctly 2

Ideally share you domain ( note sharing is public as you didn’t add it in the topic option – or if you can edit the topic or start a new one )

Also provide screen shots so I can understand what you are saying.

You can use any image sharing service and link to that.

Dear Alan,
Here some information of whats going wrong. The site is in dutch.

Permalink: https://kerstshow.com/%postname%/
URL (WordPress with Astra theme):
URL
Good (with 302 option): Option 302
Wrong (with 404 option): 404 option
Original (plugin deactivated): Deactivated

Frans

Many thanks, will investigate this.

I have investigated.

The wording is added by Astra which specifically replaces the post title.

I’m not an expert in Astra but have had a look for you.

You can set this back using a filter as below

add_filter(
	'astra_the_404_page_title',
	function ( $title ) {
		return get_the_title();
	},
	10,
	1
);

If you are unsure how to apply I can advise.

But I see no harm in adding this into the plugin anyway as Astra is a popular theme. So I will do that.

V 1.8.5 release with that filter to cater for what Astra does to page titles

That should work but let me know.

Works with a mistake…
the featured image and the page title are now visible. Both should not be visible and the preview via editing mode looks fine.
See https://kerstshow.com/test

Astra options.
Title = Foutenpagina

Can you explain a bit more.I don’t quite follow the brief description?

It is possible in editing mode of the page to chose a picture as “highlight” image. Astra adds on the same page in a box some posibilities. One posibility is not showing the title and another is not showing the highlight image. Both are checked and should not be visible but they are.
The image on top of the page is the highlight image and the title is Foutenpagina.

Thanks, interesting. The filter ONLY impacts the page title text.

This seems to be very specific to Astra but will have a further investigation.

OK I dont think I’m looking at the same thing

This is my test site with Astra installed -I dont see such options

wrong image

I switched to another domain / website with the same problem.
URL: wordpress fvbussel
Theme: Astra free
Plugin updated.
Redirection: page Frans

Without wordpress (not logged in):
Tested with test link
302 option: screen 302 … Looks good.
404 option: screen 404 … Looks wrong.

With wordpress (logged in):
edit mode page Frans: pageFrans-edit
preview mode page Frans: pageFrans-preview

Thanks for the screenshots.

My install of Astra doesn’t have that Astra Instellingenbox, I assume that comes from something else e.g. another plugin or Astra Pro.

Probably the easiest thing to do is just remove the image and header on the 404 page, by additional CSS if you don’t want them. ( there probably are filters in Astra or Astra Pro or what ever you are using but that goes well beyond the scope of support for the plugin, basically the plugin does what it is meant to do, and Astra / some other plugin is doing something extra )

body.error404  header.entry-header{
  display:none;
}

would do the trick

The code (body…) works fine with the 404 option of the plugin.

Thank you for your effort.

A pleasure. And I learned a bit about Astra too.
