# How to set up a custom 404 page

| Available on **Solo** and above, for projects uploaded as a ZIP file.

A custom 404 page replaces our standard "not found" page with a page from your own project. Visitors who open a missing link still see your branding and a way back to your site.

### Set it up

1. Make sure your 404 page is a file inside your ZIP, for example `404.html`. If it isn't, add it, re-zip your project and update it.
2. On your [dashboard](https://tiiny.host/manage), click **Update** on your project.
3. Scroll down to **Access Mode**, and switch **Error Configuration** on.
4. In **Error Path**, delete the example `/index.html`. Type the path to your 404 page, starting with `/`, for example `/404.html`.
5. If your page is inside a folder, include the folder: `/pages/404.html`.
6. Click **Update**. The setting only goes live once you've updated the project.

### Turn it off

Switch **Error Configuration** off, then click **Update**. Visitors will see our standard 404 page again.

### Good to know

* The setting is per project. Each project needs its own.
* It works on password-protected and email-capture projects.
* It also shows when someone opens a folder on your site that has no index file.

### Why isn't my custom 404 page showing?

* **Can't find Error Configuration?** It only appears for projects uploaded as a ZIP. It isn't available for PDFs, single files, pasted HTML, document collections, or PHP, Python, React and Node projects.
* **Seeing your home page instead?** Error Path still says `/index.html`. Change it to your 404 page's path and click **Update**.
* **Seeing our standard 404 page?** Check that you clicked **Update** after turning it on. Then check the path matches your file exactly, including capital letters and folders. It must start with `/`, or the file won't be found. You won't see an error message if the path is wrong.
* **Does your site show a page for every address?** Some sites, like single-page apps, never report a page as missing. Your custom page won't appear on these.
* **Still seeing the old version?** Open your link in a private window, or clear your browser cache.
