  1. Crate 404page in the admin.

  2. create a custom page template for that page.

  3. add your custom 404 content

  4. open 404.php file in your theme.

  5. add this below code at the top of that file.

    header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");

header("Location: ".home_url('/404page/'));

exit();

  6. try to find something that not found and you will be redirected to your custom 404 page

also, you can try this action hooks for redirect to custom 404 page. put this code in your function.php file. this is the replace option of above point number 5)

add_action( 'template_redirect', 'redreict_to_custom_404_page' );
function redreict_to_custom_404_page(){
    // check if is a 404 error
    if( is_404()  ){
        wp_redirect( home_url( '/404page/' ) );
        exit();
    }
}

Or if you want to create 404 page with WP bakery

  1. Create a private 404page and build with WP bakery in the admin.

  2. open 404.php file and get content of 404page by code below

     $page_id = 123; // 404page id
 $page    = get_post( $page_id );
 $content = $page->post_content;
 echo $content;

You can use plugin 404page.

Or some code adapted from this plugin:

add_filter(
    '404_template',
    static function () {
        global $wp_query;

        $wp_query = new WP_Query();
        $wp_query->query('page_id='.$pageID);
        $wp_query->the_post();
        $template = get_page_template();
        rewind_posts();

        add_filter(
            'body_class',
            static function ($classes) {
                if (!in_array('error404', $classes, true)) {
                    $classes[] = 'error404';
                }

                return $classes;
            }
        );

        return $template;
    },
    999
);
