Hi all, I wanted to know if there is a way to add a redirect to wpforo's default 404 page to a custom 404 page.

Hi @systemcrack,

You can use this hook for that:

$this->current_object = apply_filters( 'wpforo_after_init_current_object', $this->current_object, $wpf_url_parse );

In case you want to say thank you !)
We'd really appreciate and be thankful if you leave a good review on plugin page. This is the best way to say thank you to this project and support team.

@systemcrack,

I have provided the hook, but you still need to write a code which would redirect wpForo 404 page to your custom one.

If you cannot write the code, you can contact with Gvectors Custom work team with your request.

Contact Email: sales[at]gvectors.com

Inserting the code in Themes functions.php file

Add the code at the end(bottom) of the current active theme functions.php file

Option one: open functions.php file from wp-content > themes > current active theme.

Option Two: Go to Dashboard > Appearance Theme File Editor, select Theme Functions(functions.php) file from Theme Files Bar.

Please mention that the code can be lost after updating or changing the theme.

Solution by using Code Snippets Plugin

Install and Activate Code Snippets plugin( https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/).

Go to Dashboard > Snippets > Add New.

Insert the below code in code field:

Select Run snippet everywhere Radio and save the snippet.

Check that the new created snippet is active from Dashboard > Snippets > All Snippets.
