You bet!

thanks Chris!

Hi there,

Thanks for following up!

To change the background image, you'll want to edit this line in 404.php...

jQuery.backstretch("<?php echo get_template_directory_uri();?>/images/Yield_Sign.jpg", {speed: 150});

If you don't see your change take place, be sure that you properly put the image in the "images" folder of the theme and that you have cleared your browser cache and/or any caching plugin you might have installed.

Hope that helps!

Best,

Chris

Just to follow up - I've figured it out :)
I modified the bottom part of archive.php to display what i was trying to put there.
Hope this is the right way:
Change the following:
else { //IF NOT BLOG CATEGORY...
if (have_posts()) {
get_template_part('navigation');
} else { ?>
<h2><?php _e('Not Found','themolitor');?></h2>
<p><?php _e('The page you were looking for does not exist.','themolitor');?></p>
<?php }} ?>

To:

else { //IF NOT BLOG CATEGORY...
if (have_posts()) {
get_template_part('navigation');
} else { ?>
<h2><?php _e('I have not been there yet!','themolitor');?></h2>
<p><?php _e('Well it looks like I have not been to this part of the world yet...Come back to this link in a while to see where I will have been!','themolitor');?></p>
<p><?php _e('In the mean time you can click ','themolitor');?>
">here to see my latest entries!</p>

<?php }} ?>

And this links back to my home page.
Any advice if this is not efficient is more than welcome!

So, I understand now :) that the link above is not showing 404.php.
So my question then becomes: where do I change the text that get's displayed when a user clicks on a category menu item, such as the link above, and there's no content for that category?
This may be a basic WP question, so I am searching in the WP guides, but if someone has a faster answer that would be great!

Chris,
I've been trying to change the 404 page to add my own background image and text but I can't seem to get the changes to be visible.
For example in the following linked I changed the image that's referenced from Yield_Sign.jpg to my own uploaded 404.png image which i uploaded to the same directory but it does not seem to load it.
I also tried changing the text and that did not seem to work either. The code that gets executed still refers to Yield_Sign.jpg. What am I missing?
Example:
http://www.resetrebootrecord.com/category/locations/north-america/
Sorry if this is a numpty question :)
Paul
