I had the same issue (in WP 3.0.1) changing the id (and reference) from ’404′ to ‘error-404′ seemed to solve the problem for me.

I have successfully added and created the 404 Widget last night ..
everything working fine but the problem now is that i have closed the browser and after a refresh the Sidebar widgets are having the options (categories, rss, Tag Cloud etc…)
but
the 404 is empty while during error it shows all the widgets i have added yesterday to it.

Please HELP

I forgot to say that I obviously copied the page.php template into the 404.php template in the step 1 so to get the content straight from the wp page editor (which is my objective).

Cheers. I hope that makes any sense anyway.

Hi there:

I was trying to get that done through a page instead of using a widget, that’s what I did:

1) Edit the 404.php template to have a /*Template Name: Error*/ comment in the top.
2) Go to the admin and created a new page (error-page permalink) and choose the new page template from the dropdown.
3) Edit the .htaccess and add ErrorDocument 404 http://domain.com/error-page/

I was pretty sure it was gonna work but it didn’t, do you have any ideas why it is not working? Permalinks stuff maybe?

Great blog, congratulations and thanks a lot for everything you share over here.
Javier.
