Error trapping is set to ensure that if a visitor to your website tries to access a page that doesn’t exist – either through incorrect spelling or because a page address has changed – instead of being presented with a blank page, or worse an error message, you can set what is presented to them.
Instructions
Here is an example of what would be displayed for an invalid page address:
You can change both the message (as bordered in red in image) and set as to whether or not a site map should also be displayed (as bordered in blue in image).
