When someone tries to visit a page on your site that doesn’t exist (either because it was removed or they just had a bad link), they see what is called a “404 Page”. The default page looks like this: https://extension.wisc.edu/there-is-no-page-here

In this Guided Build Session, Jason from ETS will walk you through the steps to customize this page using the Block Editor. We’ll talk about what can be changed (and how to do it), and go over some ideas of things you may want to include.

Attendees are encouraged to customize their own 404 Pages during the session, and we’ll answer any questions as we go.
