Can I replace “Sorry something went wrong” text with my own custom Text in MySite

Question

I want to change the error text with my custom text. I am using SharePoint 2013 and MySite. In mysite when any user is not found then a error message is displaying.

The message is Sorry something went wrong with large font size and the main error which is User not found is displaying with a link Technical Details in small font size.

I want to replace this text with my own text. Please tell me how can I do this, I've done many research on internet and found nothing.

Please help me with proper solution.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Yes. Basically there are a couple ways how to do that:

1. Change the default pages. These are application pages stored in /_layouts folder and can be easily modified.

2. Create a new page and assign it via PowerShell (limited to only a couple of the types of pages you can set the URL for):

   $spsite = Get-SPSite "Site URL" $spsite.FileNotFoundUrl = "URL of the Custom Page"

There is an article which describes that in more depth:
