Hi @Riyadh1734 - I don't think this is good idea to add into the theme, in particular using mention of the pandemic quarantine. I understand the intention of your submission, but this has the potential to bring back some painful memories/experiences for some folks, and I think the "This page could not be found." is sufficient.

I think, if anything it could be more aligned with prior default themes;

• https://github.com/WordPress/WordPress/blob/master/wp-content/themes/twentytwentyone/404.php
• https://github.com/WordPress/theme-experiments/blob/master/tt1-blocks/block-templates/404.html

There is no need imo for a home link as headers typically have that.

Thanks for the discussion everyone. I agree with @jeffikus on this one. If you'd like to update the default message to be:

It looks like nothing was found at this location. Maybe try a search?

That works for me. 👍

As it is currently, the markup in this PR is not valid block markup though. We'd want to just replace the string on L10.

There is no problem that the home link can be omitted. But there are two lines very important for new users.

Hi @jeffikus I agree with you about mentioning pandemic quotes but another two lines are very important for new users & it seems too different but it's helpful.
And also we use "This page could not be found" as sufficient for all. but this time I think "Maybe this page moved? Got deleted? Never existed in the first place? Let's go home and try from there" this message helps new users.

@Riyadh1734 I hear what you are trying to achieve, my counter point would be then do we list all the possible reasons why a page could not be found? From my perspective that's what the search field is for, the only addition I would consider here is the second part of this line, the "Maybe try a search?" part.

Just chiming in here to say I am indifferent to the actual message used. My concerns were only to not mention quarantine and that the text is contained within the right (semantically) markup.

@jeffikus lf this is good for all folks.then that's also ok for me. Go for it :)

Closing since the message was changed in #182: 66c8ade

Thanks everyone for the improvement.
