In case anyone else finds this topic…I found that the best solution was to create the desired 404 page as a post, and then set that post as the redirect page using the “404 Simple Redirect” plugin.
The plugin allows one to automatically redirect all 404 errors to a specified link. I created a post titled “404” and directed all redirects to mydomain.com/404/ (arbitrary, as you can set the redirect page to anything you wish).
Simple, effective.

If anyone knowledgeable sees this thread, I’m still having a few issues.
1) I’d still like to get rid of or shrink the top part of the website (white with black text at top of page). Ideally, I’d like to get rid of that space and the words that are there; I’ve put them there because it looks better than nothing (a big white area). I don’t want a banner. No progress here since my last post.
2) There’s that image slider on the front page. I’d like to redirect the slider image links away from the sticky *posts* and towards other *pages* in the website. The featured/sticky slider images seem to only work when they’re in *posts* (versus *pages*), but I want someone who clicks on a slider image to be directed to a *page* capable of neatly displaying a category of *posts.* For example, I want someone who clicks on the image in http://www.meteoritegallery.com/expeditions/ (sticky picture from a *post* featured in the slider) to be directed to a page that looks like http://www.meteoritegallery.com/collection/expeditions/ (a *page* in the website). Yes, clicking on the image where it is will take you to the right *page.* But, when that image is in the slider, it doesn’t take you to that *page.* It brings you to http://www.meteoritegallery.com/expeditions/ (a *post*)
Why is it important? I’d like the slider image links to direct to posts/pages with that kind of layout (www.meteoritegallery.com/collection/expeditions/). *Posts* don’t seem to be capable of doing that, from what I’ve seen/tried, so I need the slider image to link to a *page* (I think).
Changing the URL in the image via the media editor and/or the picture info within the post itself didn’t fix the issue. I can see three potential ways of fixing it: 1) changing the image links within the slider, 2) finding a way of making a *post* display a category of *posts* neatly like a *page* can, or 3) figuring out a way to get the featured image from a *page* (not a *post*) into the slider.
I tried #1, but gave up after a few days. I’m working on #2, but a few days haven’t yielded anything remotely good. The existing plugins that I’ve tried have yielded very poor-looking results. I still have hope for this and will probably spend tomorrow on this angle. #3 doesn’t seem possible from what I’ve tried. I’ve made featured images on pages, but there was no option to make them sticky.
Anyone…? Please? I’m really grateful for the framework, but the “easy to use, but hard to customize” aspect of things is starting to make me resent the world and everything in it.
Thanks,
JasonFor Jenny…
I’m working with WordPress online; depending upon how you’re editing your site, what I have may or may not help you.
Getting rid of the name/date/etc. required two steps for me:
1) adding a plugin called “WP Date Remover,” made by Omar.*
2) pasting some code into the CSS editor under Appearance -> Theme Options -> Layout -> scroll down, paste these three lines:
.entry-meta .meta-sep, .entry-meta .author { display: none; }
.entry-meta {display:none;}
.entry-utility{display:none;}
*Step one (adding the WP Date Remover plugin) may be unnecessary. I don’t know if the above code also removes the date from posts, but I added the plugin first (it worked) and everything else was as I wanted it after I pasted the code, so I’m not messing with it or testing to see if it’s unnecessary. Perhaps later, once my other issues are resolved.
The black menu is a plugin called “Floating Menu,” made by Lee Chestnutt. It was very easy to customize with the provided instructions. Wonderful tool, easy to use.

I found a plugin that bypassed existing menu formats and added a floating menu. Moving the older menus to ‘inactive’ fixed the issue.
I have one final question that may be a little more simple (I hope) to answer:
I’d like to make the large white area at the top of the ‘welcome’ page smaller. In order to get rid of the search bar at the top right, I added a blank textbox to the header bar, but that yielded a large patch of empty white space above the image slider. I added some words to the header to make it less obtrusive, but I’d like the white space to be much smaller. Same URL as above…
Thanks
