How to redirect 404 page to home page in magento

I am trying to redirect 404 page to home page in magento 1.9.

From admin config->web I can set in 'cms no page' to 'Home Page' option and it is redirecting properly.

Like, 'www.example.com/abcv' which is 404 page, this redirecting to home page but in browser url is not changing.

I have tried .htaccess to ,

ErrorDocument 404 /index.php

but its not working,

ANy suggestion would be great.

Solution

  • if the query string is not changing then it is not a redirect.

    To solve your Issue without backend programming you could create custom 404 cms page and put javascript redirect in it.

    <script type="text/javascript">
function redirectHome() {
  window.location = "{{store url=''}}";
}
setTimeout("redirectHome()", 5000);
</script>

    otherwise you will have to write a module and add a custom frontend router
