Broken links solution

Open krrisis opened this issue 6 years ago • 1 comments

Just fixed (finally) most of the links to the wiki on our medium. This for sure will happen in the future, and there are prob others out there I missed. Is there a way to redirect all non-existing links to a 404 page with a default message? Now when you have a non-/no longer existing page, eg https://wiki.giveth.io/dapp/test you arrive on a very strange looking page that makes people click away.

Could we redirect such pages by default to a 404 that invites people to find the link they were looking for in the navigation on the left? (a non-broken nav that is :) )

thx!

That is very strange - there is a 404 page and if I just type in anything else, I see it (except if I am more than one level down - then it starts to go crazy).

I can replicate this behaviour only on our live site and neither on a local server or the demo of our template - both of those redirect to 404 on everything I tried. I hope its a strange incompatibility with something at Netlify (and could be going away without our intervention), but that is speculation now.
