Redirect wrong URL's to homepage?

  • Occasionally, if someone enters an incorrect URL (ie https://www.hrgazette.com/wrong) they get a page not found error.

    Is there a way to redirect incorrect URL’s to my homepage? Something generic that tells my domain or WordPress to just send them to the homepage?

    Just curious…

  • Use something like this as your theme’s 404.php file (create one if there isn’t one already):

    <?php
header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
header("Location: ".get_bloginfo('url'));
exit();

    Redirecting all 404s to your home page is ill advised on a number of levels – from usability, to tracking, to SEO. Plenty of articles on the web about how best to handle them.
