Replacing Error message with decent page

    I have been trying some code in my functions.php file. I got a error message on the site and now cannot access the website. The solution i understand was to replace the functions.php with older version. However my question is when some one try to open my site it sees the error message. I want the visitors of my site to see decent stating we are down instead of read technical error message.

    Is there a easy way to catch this error and show decent html page?

    Thanks in advance.

    If you mean replacing it with a version backed up prior to the change, yes.

    I want the visitors of my site to see decent stating we are down instead of read technical error message.

    I don’t recommend that, you’ll want the specific error message to tell you how to fix it quickly. For example, I could offer a recommendation if you had quoted the error message.

    Ideally, you don’t ever want to do anything that would cause your visitors to see the error message. ??

    Thanks for your response. I would prefers to have error description in log file and decent message to visitor so I can fix the problem and also have decent page for visitor.
    Any idea on how to achieve this.

    It depends on the type of error. What was it?

    do you mean things like ‘404 page not found’ and ‘500 internal server’ error messages?
