The SiteError404 page is a default page in your account for instances where there is a broken link on your website.
Important: It is not counted in your total page count if you're on a package that only allows limited pages.
If a visitor types a page name incorrectly or clicks a link to a page that no longer exists, they'd see the error page instead. When you are viewing your published site and click on a link that takes you to the SiteError404 page, you have a broken link.
Is your home page named 'Index'?
Index is the universal page name used by the World Wide Web to distinguish a domain's home page. If you try to go to your domain name and get a site404error message, chances are you renamed your home page to something like 'home.html.'

I tried the steps above twice. Left it overnight thinking it needed time for the adjustment. Just check my site and it continues to show the error page. I re did the steps again above and also went into the File Manager and it shows this link as OK but its not published im still seeing the error page. I have other pages under construction and so I am releasing my pages as I work on them. This step is not working for me.
Please assist. Am I missing another step?

It seems to be working fine. The Calendar link, directs to the page titled Calendar. If its not appearing on your end try to clear your cookies and cache, close, then reopen your web browser.

Adam0698,
Your blog is working fine. You just need to fix the "blog" navigation link so that it links to the correct page.

How do I go about fixing broken links on my website.
I am using an seo program that is telling me I have broken links, internal and external. I want to fix but don't understand how.

You'll need to know which links are the broken links, but step #5 is where you designate the correct page that you are linking to. If you do actually have broken links, they'll return the "site error 404" page.

Our Photo-Gallery Page is refusing to publish. It says it publishes, but when visiting the site--- PAGE NOT FOUND.
I have attempted to publish the page repeatedly for the past few hours, but keep having the same result. Page not found. Yet when I log into our site builder, the page is still there and constructed exactly as planned.

Yea, I figured as much after trolling through other questions... although the spelling matched on everything, but I just deleted the page and built a new one and it worked fine. Thanks though

Hello Margaret,
If you do not have the page, you can add it without it counting towards your page limit by creating a page and naming it siteerror404.

The page that it should be linked to is not showing in the list of web pages, does it need to be re-created?

If the page is not in the 'view page' drop down, then it would need to be recreated.

This did not work. I have the 404 error showing on my edit page for my Now Showing tab for our website. I followed the steps you gave but it did not change. On the website it does show Now Showing but I have problems with the site updating sometimes and was told it is because of the error 404. Why is mine not fixing when I follow these steps?

I told you exactly what you needed to do to resolve this issue, and looking at your website, it still has not been done. As I said:
The issue is, you do not have a "Now Showing" page. You have a site error 404 page that you added your Now Showing page content to. This is what is causing that issue. I recommend adding a new page, actually naming that page "Now Showing", putting the Now Showing content on that page, and linking your menu to that correctly created page. Then, go fix your site error 404 page back to what it was by default.
This means you need to go into your builder, add a new page, name it "Now Showing", RECREATE your "Now Showing" Page on that new page. Make sure the link in the navigation menu is set to go to that new page. Then, go to the Site Error 404 page, delete the "Now Showing" content, and create a 404 error page for your website.

If you have removed the page, you will also need to remove it from your navigation menu. Click on the menu and go to the Links tab on the right. Click on that page and choose the option to delete it.
