Custom Magento Theme for Error – “There has been an error processing your request”

Magento Go: Open Your Online Store for Free!

If you ever run into theĀ ”There has been an error processing your request” error of Magento, it’s just a plain default page of the very default theme of Magento when you first installed it.

default magento error exception theme

It simply sucks in user experience and page design. You want to:

  1. Use your own theme for this error page
  2. Use your own logo rather than Magento’s
  3. Add a back to the previous page sort of button / link
  4. Change Magento copyright notice to your own

How to do accomplish all these?

For 1, I thought it’s in the design.xml but turned out it’s not. And thus far I have no idea how to switch the error page to your own theme design once and for all.

For 2, just change /errors/default/images/logo.gif with your own.

For 3, just edit the /errors/default/report.html.

For 4, just edit the /errors/default/page.html.

  1. Hi,

    Recently I came across some great articles on your site. The other day, I was discussing (http://www.magentogoreview.com/custom-magento-theme-for-error-there-has-been-an-error-processing-your-request~144) with my colleagues and they suggested I submit an article of my own. Your site is just perfect for what I have written! Would it be ok to submit the article? It is free of charge, of course!
