This is an example how to unhook page 404.php and use your own content.

unhook functions

// Unhook default Thematic functions
function unhook_thematic_functions() {
// Don’t forget the position number if the original function has one

remove_action( ‘attitude_404_content’, ‘attitude_display_404_page_content’, 10 );

}
add_action(‘init’,’unhook_thematic_functions’); // removes the header content by using hook attitude_header

add_action( ‘attitude_404_content’, ‘attitude_child_display_404_page_content’, 10 );
/**
* function to show the footer info, copyright information
*/

Hi Dale,

First of all you need to unhook the functions and then only customize the code in your child theme functions.php. Here is a simple example how to unhook functions and customize the code.

// Unhook default Thematic functions
function unhook_thematic_functions() {
    // Don't forget the position number if the original function has one

remove_action( 'attitude_404_content', 'attitude_display_404_page_content', 10 );

}
add_action('init','unhook_thematic_functions'); // removes the header content by using hook attitude_header

add_action( 'attitude_404_content', 'attitude_child_display_404_page_content', 10 );
/**
 * function to show the footer info, copyright information
 */
 
 
function attitude_child_display_404_page_content() {      ?>   
<div id="content">
		<header class="entry-header">
			<h1 class="entry-title"><?php _e( 'Error 404-Page NOT Found', 'attitude' ); ?></h1>
		</header>
		<div class="entry-content clearfix" >
			<p>Thank you</p> 
		</div><!-- .entry-content -->
	</div><!-- #content -->
  <?php 
}

Do in this way for content-extension.php and if you are unable to fix it then you need to hire a developer to fix it.

Thank you!
