SEOHelper 4xx Error Page

[Gianluca]

In 2023, I purchased SEOHelper, but unfortunately, I never figured out how to use SEO stacks. Joe’s videos aren’t a good way to learn, especially if you don’t have a good command of the language.

Two and a half years later, I decided to use SEOHelper again to create a 404 page, but unfortunately, with the same result… I didn’t understand anything about it.

Browsing the forum, I found this:

Own 404 page - css not loading?

I do this, and it always works. First thing in the htaccess file I insert this code ErrorDocument 404 /404.html there are 2 pages: in one page you create page 404 title browser: 404 You are lost folder: / filename: 404redirected.html here you make your 404 page inserting as many stacks as you want then you create another one, this must be an Offsite Page Browser Title: The Real 404 Folder: / Filename: 404.html in offsite options enter URL i.e. the real address of the 404redirected…

It works and is easy to understand.

But what if I wanted to use SEOHelper? Is there anything written to explain how to proceed? A simple tutorial listing the steps? At least to try using one of these stacks and avoid having wasted money.

The 404 stack does not do much for your 404 page. I just ensures that the page retuns an authentic 404 http code. You still need to setup your htaccess rules so that users get sent to the 404 page when a URL is not found. There is an example that you can use as a starting point in the stack settings.

ErrorDocument 404 /pathto/404page/
<FilesMatch "\.(bmp|cur|gif|ico|jpe?g|png|svgz?|webp)$">
ErrorDocument 404 /resources/404.jpg
</FilesMatch>
