Hi

I have domain name that i installed on him a wordpress blog
this domain have more then 4000 pages on google
now all this pages are 404 pages

how i can redirect all this pages to my home page ?
i dont have any knowladge in this

pls help me

thanks

It's not a good idea, but you could do add the following meta tag in your 404 file

or

301 redirect in htaccess

way its not good idea ?

The 404 is there to inform the search engine the page doesn't exist anymore, by using a 301 all of the pages will appear the same to the search engine and you could get duplicate content issues. A nice 404 page with a link to the homepage would be better and pass pagerank too.

how i can make 404 page with a link to the homepage ?
can you send me sample code or something ?

Thanks for all your help

my 404 page look like this :
