Wordpress index.php showing on all broken url?
strawberry asked:
Hi,
I have recently refreshed my wordpress to 2.5 and now when i enter a l enter a url that doesn’t exist the index page appears. I would rather create a page that indicates ‘nothing is here’ than confuse users with the blog site being everywhere.
Any suggestions??

Could you post the URL? did you try wordpress support.. Even if the support there is pretty weird, it sorta works.
I updated from 2.3.3 to 2.5. If you have backups of your WP fils (or even your WP-content folder) then great, all you do is keep the WP-content and download 2.5, only uploading the WP-admin and WP-includes. Upload the index.php in the main WordPress folder and maybe the WP-blog-header.php. That’s what I’d do.
Check your permalinks area in the Admin panel and change the permalinks to anything. Hopefully, It should reset the paths. A good setting for the permalinks is to add this to the custom area.
/%category%/%postname%/
This makes the url more search engine friendly and help people remember the location of your page better.
