Wordpress

Guys,

I want to stop wordpress from putting out a 404 header code

One thing that work is by hacking the core wordpress code.

I am thinking of a better way. Basically, I put

<php>
header("HTTP/1.1 200 OK");

</php>

in 404.php template.

However, that doesn't work. I really don't want to hack the wordpress core code.

is there a better way?

Oh ya, wordpress is open source code and as far as I know, modifying the core code for own use does not break any TOS in case somebody want to mention that.

Hi there,

just curious, why do you want to stop wordpress from returning a 404 code? This status code is sent when a page is not found.

Too complicated. Basically, I want to use file_get_content on that page. Basically, I'd like to make the wordpress into a caching system.

As in use wordpress AS a caching system? or cache pages you've written within wordpress?

If the latter is what you are after, then you could just install a wordpress plugin for this purpose? The WP-Cache plugin comes to mind.

If not, then maybe you need to find another solution which may be a better fit as shoehorning a blog to be a caching system is probably more trouble than it's worth.

HTH
