How to implement custom error pages in Xano?

Step 1: Navigate to the Configuration Area

Alright, first things first. Head over to the administrative dashboard of Xano. Once you're there, look for the "Configuration" section in the main menu. That's where you'll manage all your system settings.

Step 2: Select 'Error Pages' Option

Next up, within those configuration settings, you'll want to find and click on the "Error Pages" option. This is your go-to spot for creating and tweaking custom error pages.

Step 3: Choose the Error Type

Now, let's get specific. Identify the error type you want to create a custom page for. Common ones are 404 (Not Found), 500 (Internal Server Error), and a few others. Just pick the one you need from the list.

Step 4: Design the Custom Error Page

Time to get creative! Design your custom error page using HTML, CSS, and maybe a bit of JavaScript if you're feeling fancy. Make sure to include helpful info for users, like navigation options or contact details. You can use the Xano editor or import some existing HTML content if you have it.

Step 5: Save the Custom Error Page

Once you're happy with your design, hit the "Save" or "Publish" button to lock in those changes. Xano will now use your custom page for the error type you selected.

Step 6: Test the Custom Error Page

Now, let's make sure everything's working. Simulate the specific error to see if your custom error page shows up correctly. For example, try accessing a non-existent URL to check your 404 page.

Step 7: Repeat for Other Error Types

If you need to, go ahead and repeat the process for other error types. Just follow steps 3 through 6 again. This way, all your errors will have custom pages, giving users a consistent experience.
