  Need help quickly….is it possible to edit/customize the 404 error message on a wordpress.com blog? A bad link in an e-mail is sending users to this page and we want to point them to the correct pages. Thanks!

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  We cannot edit the 404 message.

  But what is the link with that message?
  Can you edit the page itself so the link is not broken?

  You’ll need the exact url, including the date and time it was published to replace/edit the page.

  The problem was created by a mass e-mail with tracking code. Each recipient URL will be different. We are having to work around the problem now. Thanks!

  @aauwnational
  The blog linked to your username is not a free hosted WordPress.com blog and this is the forum that’s only for free hosted WordPress.com blogs. To get support for that blog you must post to http://wordpress.org./support/
  For clarity please read WordPress.com vs WordPress.org
