Howdy! I noticed that the 404 page is now displaying in html text, not the actual 404 page as you would expect.
The site is multilingual, english and french. The 404 article page is set to all languages.
www.xxxx.com

Thanks!

Hi

This is happening because the document type returned is "text/css" instead of "text/html".
One of your extensions (usually a system plugin) is doing that, we have seen it in the last few weeks already but, for the life of me, I can't remember which plugin was causing that.

Can you try disabling the system plugins that are not essential, one by one?

Tried that. Didn't help. However, if I go to www.xxxx.com/404, it does display correctly. That page is on a menu that is not displayed, it is set in the config as the 404 menu item.

www.xxxx.com/404

You should not have such URL, or rather it should not be accessible and should trigger a 404,but that's another problem.

The reason that page displays is because it's a 200, and the faulty plugin doesn't cause any damage. However, when the page is a real 404, it changes the content type.

Please provide superadmin access, I'll try run a few tests. If I can't find the faulty plugin online, I'll get a backup (with akeeba) and install locally to be able to debug.

Hi

So the bug is in the Google Ajax Feed module:

in file /modules/mod_gajaxfeeds\gajaxfeeds.htm, on line 47, they do:

<?php header("Content-type: text/css"); ?>

which is totally wrong and comes from nowhere. You need to comment out this line as o:

<?php //header("Content-type: text/css"); ?>

It's worth noting that the problem only becomes visible when using your Artisteer template. With standard Joomla template, all work fine.

Of course, I'd suggest reporting the issue to the developers, where you got this module, I such fix will not survive any update on their part - unless they already have fixed the problem of course.

Awesome! (I was wondering why disabling all those plugins didn't work... Because the issue was a module! Just goes to show... if it isn't a plugin, it's a module... LOL)
Thanks so much, I did report it to the developers through a contact form as they have no support for that little module. I'm not sure I'm even going to keep it. I certainly won't buy their "Pro" version! (And don't get me started on that template... the front page is supposed to have some photo slide shows, but they don't work. It's been over a week waiting on their "Engineering Department" to "Research" the issue...)
Thanks so much!
You guys are the best!

Hi

Usually it's 1/ plugins 2/ template 3/ modules.

Which is why it took some time cause after debugging through the entire plugins set, then through the template I turned to the modules.
