Steve,
I like your suggestion of creating a custom 404 page....I've had too many experiences
with plugins and components and modules causing conflicts.  The tutorial you reference 
doesn't work for yoo themes....And while yoo themes does provide documentation on
how to create custom pages, the docs are not updated as there is no offline.php file in the layouts folder...


Following is a quote from the yoothemes doc page at 

http://www.yootheme.com/themes/documentation/customizing/customize-the-error-pages

*************************************************************************

The HTML output of the error and offline pages are located in /warp/layouts within your theme. 
	* Error Pages: /warp/layouts/error.php
	* Offline Pages: /warp/layouts/offline.php
***********************************************************************************

Anyone know how to create error pages for yoo themes?

 
Janet

Subject: Re: [joomla] Global redirect?
 

Hi Janet,

You could use an extension like sh404SEF and map all the individual links to the new pages. 

However, as you mention, there will be many old pages that won't be republished. In that case, I would create a custom 404 page - error.php and use the search module.

There is a good tutorial in Joomla docs that explains how to do this:

http://docs.joomla.org/Creating_a_Custom_404_Error_Page

All best,

Steve
