404

404 status helper function for WordPress themes.

Installation

You can install the package via Composer:

composer require mindkomm/theme-lib-404

Functions

Name	Summary	Type	Returns/Description
force_404	Forces 404 headers on a query.

force_404

Forces 404 headers on a query.

Use this function in a WordPress template file.

When a template other than 404.php is loaded, the proper headers for a 404 status are not set properly. This function can be used to set proper headers even after a template file is loaded.

What you have to do after this request is to include the 404 template and exit after it.

PHP

if ( 'publish' !== $post->post_status ) {
    force_404();
    Timber::render( '404.twig', $context );
    exit;
}
