404错误页面重定向回首页

Question

I have a website www.thewritedesign.co.uk. My site is based on includes. My navigation at the top of the site all use achor links and the site is all one page. I have an error page, so when you type www.thewritedesign.co.uk/euskdfzxcahsz, the remaining /euskdfzxcahsz stays in the URL and my navigation links do not work when you land on my error page because they have #services #about etc as the link.

I have wrote an if statement for my other page "Terrms and Conditions" if you land on /terms-and-conditions that if you use the navigation links at the top of that page, you can get back on track so the links are now /index#services /index#about etc.

My question is. If you land on www.thewritedesign.co.uk/euskdfzxcahsz, is there an if statement I can use to say whatever page you land on which doesn't exist, go back to /index#services /index#about

Thanks

One of the better ways (in my opinion) is to let the htaccess file handle this issue for you.

The htaccess file has a RewriteEngine that allows you to do a lot of things in terms of URL handling. What's most interesting for you, would be the ErrorDocument 404 handling.

A 404 error is basically a "dead link" , meaning that whatever destination the user is trying to arrive at, doesn't exist. You can then choose to redirect the user through an error handling in the htaccess file.

Example:

RewriteEngine on
ErrorDocument 404 http://www.yoursite.com/index.php#services

Change the URL in the example to fit your needs.
