    <?php
   header("Status: 301 Moved Permanently");
   header("Location:http://www.yourdomain.com/");
   exit();
?>
    PHP:
    Put that into a 404.php file within your theme folder, overwriting any existing one (save a backup of the original just in case). Replace yourdomain.com with your home page URL. Make sure to do this again if you ever change themes.
