Problems with Wordpress and 404 pages

Only getting blank pages

[Compworld]

For some reason, on my Wordpress blog the 404 pages redirect to a blank page. The host told me the following - It seems the redirect rules of wordress are conflicting with the .htaccess rule to handle error document. This is the reason why you are getting blank pages while setting ErrorDocument.

Anyone know how to fix this?

I would have to see both rewrites. You could be rewriting such that the ErrorDocument URL is getting rewritten by the WP rewrites to an invlaid URL.

You could do a number of things, like add a RewriteCond that prevents WP from rewriting your 404 rule.

In general, WP likes to handle 404s internally and you can set a custom 404 from within WP, so that may also be the problem. You may have caused some conflict with that system.
