How can I disable wordpress's 404 page and use my own?

How can I disable wordpress's 404 page and use my own? I already had/have my own, but when I installed wordpress on the domain it now takes over and does it's own 404 thing. It's annoying as fuck.

Should be able to do it with .htaccess.

To edit your Theme’s 404 error template file:

1. Open your WordPress admin panel:
2. Choose Design menu. (Presentation pre 2.5)
3. Choose the Theme Editor page.
4. Check to see if your theme includes a ‘404 Template’ in the list of files.
5. Click the link for ‘404 template’ along the right side of the page.
6. Edit the message text to say what you want it to say.
7. Save your changes.

Or do you want to use your own file all together?

Here's a complete tutorial

Edit: I better say this before the 3 minute edit.. You likely want to completely bypass wordpresses 404 handling all together.. I'll be back.

Wordpress has been pissing me off lately thinking it can just do whatever the fuck it wants. My last 2 installs set up a phantom robots.txt to disallow all user agents... Like what the fuck dude?

Now I realize I can't even use my own 404 page... I never noticed this before because this is the first time I'm adding it to an already established site that has it's own error pages that I use to redirect to a sponsor.

I bet it's some simple shit to fix that will expose my noobism, but it just pissed me off so bad I'd rather ask then try to figure it out right now and end up fucking a bunch of other shit up in the process. Google didn't help one bit either.

replace the content of your 404 template in the editor with a php redirect.

Code:

<?php

header( 'Location: hxxp://yoururl' ) ;

?>

This works fine and is very quick to do.
