GreenGeeks.com – “How to Use phpMyAdmin to Add an Admin User to the WordPress Database”

WPBeginner.com – Create a simple 404.php file to redirect to front page.

<?php
header("HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently");
header("Location: ".get_bloginfo('url'));
exit();
?>

Place the file into your child theme root folder. Test it out by going to the domain name and /thensomething. If it is not an actual page or post it will redirect to the front page.
