Replace WordPress's ugly error screens with branded, professional pages — in one click.

Bojan Josifoski

Every WordPress site shows the same plain white error screen when something goes wrong. 
It looks broken. It destroys trust. Graceful Error Pages replaces it with a page that 
matches your brand — automatically, the moment you activate it.
What it replaces:
<ul>
<li>The <code>wp_die()</code> error screen (permission errors, expired links, security blocks)</li>
<li>PHP fatal error screens (white screen of death)</li>
</ul>
Features:
<ul>
<li>Zero-config activation — works immediately with auto-detected site name, logo, and colors</li>
<li>Five built-in templates — Minimal, Corporate, Friendly, Dark, and Starter</li>
<li>Brand customization — logo, colors, heading, message, and redirect URL</li>
<li>Merge tags — dynamic content like {site_name} and {year}</li>
<li>Self-contained styling — no theme or CDN dependencies (works even during fatal errors)</li>
<li>API safe — only overrides HTML output; REST API, AJAX, and JSON responses are untouched</li>
<li>WP-CLI safe — automatically skips CLI contexts</li>
<li>Lightweight — zero overhead on normal page loads; only runs when an error occurs</li>
<li>Fully translatable — all strings use WordPress i18n functions</li>
</ul>
How it works:
<ol>
<li>Activate the plugin</li>
<li>Your site’s error pages are instantly branded with auto-detected settings</li>
<li>Optionally customize via Settings > Error Pages</li>
</ol>
