404
===

[](#404)

404 status helper function for WordPress themes.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

You can install the package via Composer:

```
composer require mindkomm/theme-lib-404
```

Functions
---------

[](#functions)

NameSummaryTypeReturns/Description[force\_404](#force_404)Forces 404 headers on a query.### force\_404

[](#force_404)

Forces 404 headers on a query.

Use this function in a [WordPress template file](https://wphierarchy.com/).

When a template other than 404.php is loaded, the proper headers for a 404 status are not set properly. This function can be used to set proper headers even after a template file is loaded.

What you have to do after this request is to include the 404 template and exit after it.

**PHP**

```
if ( 'publish' !== $post->post_status ) {
    force_404();
    Timber::render( '404.twig', $context );
    exit;
}
```
