A 404 error occurs when users type in the wrong address or the address does not exist on your website.
By default, your WordPress theme will then use its 404 error template to display the error.
However, these pages are often quite useless and leave users clueless about what they should do next.
You can fix this by making your own custom 404 error page without writing any code. Doing so will allow you to point users to other useful content on your website.
First, you need to install and activate the SeedProd plugin. It is the best WordPress page builder on the market and allows you to easily create custom pages, landing pages, and even complete WordPress themes without writing code.
Upon activation, go to SeedProd ? Landing pages and click on the Set up a 404 Page button.

After that, you will enter the SeedProd page builder.
