Blocks missing from error 404 pages

Permalink
I've just created a custom 404 error page which uses the same layout and styles as the overall site. However, blocks such as navigation don't show up on the 404 page. Is there any way to allow this?

Thanks,

Did you add the blocks to the page? Navigate to the 404 page via your sitemap and add them like you would any other page.
If there's no areas on the page to add blocks to, you need to modify your theme's view.php file so it has areas in it (just like your other theme page type templates have).

Doh! You're right. I wasn't thinking properly. My view.php file was blank and after I populated it with the nesseccary code I expected it to work right away.

I forgot that I'd have to actually edit the page and insert the relevant blocks.

Thanks!
