Any updates on this? I’m facing the issue, one year later. Doesn’t seem to be fixed @timmse. **This is a massive bug that means we can’t send people to 404 using PHP** , which is quite a usual thing. Works on every other theme I tested it with. I used a more complex code snippet in the video, but it’s the same if I try to send a normal permalink to 404. I also didn’t use a child theme, as this is for demonstration only. It’s from wetransfer, so it won’t be up for long: [WeTransfer - Send Large Files & Share Photos Online - Up to 2GB Free](https://we.tl/t-WnaMdF4wGr). You get the same error page if you set your site not to index (in the WordPress settings) and open /wp-sitemap.xml. That’s a copy of my answer over here: > [@How Do I Set a 404 Error in PHP and have the Bricks 404 Error Page show?](https://forum.bricksbuilder.io/t/how-do-i-set-a-404-error-in-php-and-have-the-bricks-404-error-page-show/12651/11): > > Same issue here, one year later.
