In the **WPS Hide Login** section you will have two options one is for **Login url** and the second one is for **Redirection url**.

In the redirect URL, you can give the custom 404-page URL. So if some user tries to access a page that does not exist or they don't have sufficient permission to access that page then they will be redirected to the given URL.
