Feature Request: 404 page

[mavahedinia]

for user experience, it's better to have a 404 page designed for blog! It is better to be compiled with hexo, but we can take advantage of .htaccess to define custom 404 page!

Yeah buddy!

While it would be a nice-to-have, it's quite simple to create a custom 404 page in Hexo, without adjusting the theme. Create 404.md in the source folder, so Hexo generates a corresponding 404.html. Now you can configure your web server to use this page for 404 by default.

That's how it looks like on my page.

yeah, you are right @darekkay. Could you add a section in the user documentation to describe how you did it step by step?

@LouisBarranqueiro
Sure, however I just noticed it's not as simple as I described it. By default, meta and post actions are rendered as well, which looks weird on a 404 page. So I have added two front matter options to disable those:

title: Whoops!
hideMeta: true
hideActions: true
comments: false     # this one already exists

If this is something you would like to include in your project, I can create a PR ;)

[LouisBarranqueiro]

yes, create the PR, I will review it :)

[darekkay]

Sure thing: #399
