To redirect 404 error pages to your homepage in Blogger, you can add a custom JavaScript code to your theme. Here's how to do it:
- Log in to Blogger: Go to your Blogger dashboard.
- Select Your Blog: Choose the blog where you want to make the changes.
- Go to Theme: In the left sidebar, click on "Theme."
- Edit HTML: Click on the "Edit HTML" button to access the code editor.
- Find the Closing
</head>Tag: UseCtrl + F(orCmd + Fon Mac) to find the</head>tag in the HTML code.
- Insert the JavaScript: Just above the
</head>tag, insert the following code:
window.onload = function() {
if (document.title === "404 Not Found") {
window.location.href = "/";
}
};
</script>
- This script checks if the title of the page is "404 Not Found" and redirects to the homepage if it is.
- Save Changes: Click on the "Save" button to apply your changes.
- Test the Redirection: Open a new tab and try to access a non-existent page on your blog to see if it redirects to the homepage.
- That's it! Your 404 error pages should now redirect to the homepage.
