How to Create a Custom 404 Page in WordPress?

To create a custom 404 page in WordPress, you can follow these steps:

1. Open your WordPress dashboard and go to Appearance -> Theme Editor.

1. From the list of files on the right-hand side, select 404.php.

1. If there is no 404.php file in your theme, you can create it by using a code editor like Notepad++. Simply create a new file and save it as 404.php.

1. Add the following code to your 404.php file:

```
get_header();
?>

get_footer();
?>
```

1. Customize the content and layout of your 404 page as per your requirements.

1. Save your changes and your custom 404 page is now ready to use.

Note: It is recommended to use a child theme for making any changes to the code of WordPress theme files. This prevents any loss of modifications in case the theme is updated in the future.
