How to fix a faulty 404 page layout on Dawn theme?

[Greg99]

Hi,

I'm designing an alternate layout template for my 404 page based on the recommendations provided under item 1 of this article: https://www.shopify.com/partners/blog/best-404-pages

I believe I've followed the instructions exactly; however, it does not appear that my 404 page is rendering properly. I've tested this by deleting breadcrumb references in the new 404 template but they still appear.

I'm using the Dawn, version 11.0 theme. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hi @Greg99 ,

This post is based on old theme. Currently a lot has changed on shopify themes. Shoipfy now follows Online Store 2.0 format where .json files are used to render pages.
