Question

I am using wordpress and have some folders that users shouldn't see and browse. For this found solution - adding this line in .htaccess

Options All -Indexes or Options -Indexes

But it redirects to 403 - FORBIDDEN page of server, I need to redirect to my site's error 404 page. How can I do this?

Answer 1

You could create an index.php in those directories with following code:

header('HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found');
die('Page not found');

Answer 2

You can try with specific folder name like

Redirect 404 /folder1/

Redirect 404 /folder2/

Answer 3

In your root wordpress you can do this:

# handles 403 (forbidden) status as 404 (not found)
ErrorDocument 403 /index.php?error=404

# disables directory listing
Options -Indexes

Answer 4

Add this in your .htaccess file which is in root of your website.

ErrorDocument 403 /file_not_found.html

And file_not_found.html should be in root folder.

Answer 5

您可以使用此：

DirectoryIndex /404.php

Answer 6

Found solution by just adding index.html file in those folders, and nothing in .htaccess file. Thanks everyone
