Using a generic user not found page

    Hi,

    I currently have BuddyPress installed on my site, and all members can view their profile at (for example) mywebsite.com/members/myusername

    When a user closes their account, if anyone follows a link to their old profile they get the standard 404 message (which isn’t great for SEO).

    So I was wondering how to use a generic user not found page? I’d like to work so that when people visit a page that doesn’t exist they get the normal 404 message, but when they visit a mywebsite.com/members/ page that doesn’t exist they automatically are brought to a different page (a generic ‘User not Found’ page that I will create).

    Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

    Many thanks,

    Florian

    Really, almost 3 months later and no one has any suggestions?

    A “generic user not found” page would be worse for SEO than a 404 (which would be the correct response for a page not found).
