I notice that there is a block of code that looks like this:</p> <p><?php<br /> // action hook for the 404 content<br /> thematic_404()<br /> ?></p> <p>Can anyone tell me what this is and if it can be edited? If I remove it, the search form disappears. Basically, I want to change the default messaging on the 404 page from "Apologies, but we were unable to find what you were looking for. Perhaps searching will help." to something else. </p> em hr on "How do I customize 404 page" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/how-do-i-customize-404-page#post-8868 Thu, 07 Jan 2010 18:15:49 +0000 em hr 8868@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>If you want to see where all the magic happens take a look at this file: thematic/library/extensions/dynamic-classes.php</p> <p>To see how this manifests itself on your site go to any page even a 404 and look at the source code for the <code><body class=""></code></p> <p>Glad to help,<br /> Gene </p> tommo77funk on "How do I customize 404 page" http://themeshaper.com/forums/topic/how-do-i-customize-404-page#post-8866 Thu, 07 Jan 2010 17:19:47 +0000 tommo77funk 8866@http://themeshaper.com/forums/ <p>PERFECT, thanks em hr !
