How To Set Custom Page Not Found In Blogger

Setting up a custom page not found in your blog help your blog users to get the response you want them to have when they mistype your blog pages URL. It is not always a pleasant experience for your blog readers to land on your page, only not find what they were looking for. Users coming to your blog via the search engines may also have custom page not found (error 404) if your blog pages is not well indexed.
They can also get the error 404 when they type your blog URL directly and probably mistype it.

In this tutorial I will be sharing with you how you can set a custom page not found or error 404 in blogger such that any of your blog users mistyping your blog URl will be redirected to your homepage automatically.

Let's get started:

 How To Set Custom Page Not Found In Blogger

• Log in to your blogger dashboard
• Navigate to Settings > Search Preference > Custom Page Not Found.
  
• If you've never set up a custom page not found in your blog, the box will be blank as seen in the image above.
• Now, copy the code below, paste it in the box and save it.

 Oops! The page you're looking for in this blog does not exist.
You will be redirected to the homepage shortly. If you are not redirected shortly <a href="http://www.yourhompage.com/">Click Here</a>
<script type = "text/javascript">
BSPNF_redirect = setTimeout(function() {
location.pathname= "/"
}, 5000);
</script>

Customization:
Replace code in blue with your blog homepage URL. This for users landing on a non existing URL of your blog with a browser that has no java script enabled in it. So they can click manually and get redirected to the homepage.
