I need help with creating a custom 404 error page

[learn2earn]

Hello Everyone,

I would like to create a custom 404 Error Page, but from the instructions in the support area I need to upload or create a .htaccess file in my root directory. It will not let me create a .htaccess file or if I create one and save it one my computer and upload it, it does not show up in the file directory.

I don’t know anything about php to create the php code that the

ErrorDocument 404 /error.php
or
ErrorDocument 404 /cgi-bin/error.php?code=404

Inside the .htaccess file that I can not create in my root directory or upload to the root directory is supposed to point to.

I also do not see a cgi-bin in my root directory.

I operating a WordPress blog on my website.

Can anyone help or have a simple solution for my problem?

Thank you,

I’ll defer to others to give you better guidance here, but a quick word in response to

or if I create one and save it one my computer and upload it, it does not show up in the file directory.

have you set your ftp program to allow you to see invisible files?
