How to add an image to 404.php

[MT1895]

Hi guys,

I submitted this question in an existing thread that is over a year old and decided to start a new one to ensure it would be viewed.

I am using the Enterprise Pro theme.

I modified the 404.php page wording which was easy because I simply added a couple of words.

I love the look of the default 404 page but have no PHP skillls to change it to my liking.

All I want to do is a add a small image to the page from my WP library.

I was hoping it was as simple as adding html code but the html code was ignored.

Is this an easy modification for me or do I need PHP skills to make this change?

You could use the is_404() conditional tag tag with any genesis hook in a custom function in your child themes functions file.

Or

You could hard code the path to the image or the image HTML ( Not recommended ) into a custom 404 page template.

Thank you very much Brad Dalton for your prompt response. Although I am confident your suggestions would work, my brain does not work on that level (haha) as I have no measurable amount of knowledge with PHP.

FTR, I was able to resolve this problem to a 90% satisfaction level. I read a thread from another forum that suggest I use an "echo" tag and place my html code between the tags. This was an acceptable solution although it was a bit tacky for me.

I am grateful for the results but if I was able, I would have place my image a little higher on my page but again this worked to my liking.

The reason I said it was a bit tacky was because I had to use the html code for a space (and many of them) to center the image as it was left justified and the "align" html code was ignored.

Here is a page that do not exist so that you can see the results and I thank you again.

You could wrap your image in a div so you can then position it.

echo'<div class="your-class">Your HTML</div>';

Thanks again Brad 🙂

I tried that and variations of it but it just ignored the code.
