I'm having an issue getting a good system of setting up 404s that are manageable in the particular way I like to do things in Expression Engine. I'm using the in-built 404 option and it seems to work perfectly except for one thing.
For all my general pages like about us, terms, etc I like to have a URL along the lines of:
domain.com/index.php/about-us
I simply tell my default template in my home group to pull in a post name from a certain channel which works fine, but this triggers 404s when they're switch on in the system.
I thought this might be because the channel with this in was named differently to the home group but renaming them to match gave me internal server errors. Also I find it odd that with no 404 page selected I still get basic 404 pages around the place but not for these general pages.
What I need to know is there anyway to get it to recognise the top level links as valid without having to either make a template entry for each of them or create my own 404 system with redirects?
