WordPress handles 404 responses internally, assuming your theme has a

Other ErrorDocument directives could probably be added by a plugin
that hooks into the mod_rewrite_rules filter, so you wouldn't need to
edit core files.  I've attached an example.

$ERROR_DOCUMENTS = array(

add_filter('mod_rewrite_rules', 'error_documents_mod_rewrite_rules');

function error_documents_mod_rewrite_rules($rules) {
	global $ERROR_DOCUMENTS;

	foreach ($ERROR_DOCUMENTS as $code => $file) {
		$rules .= "\nErrorDocument $code $file";
	}

	return $rules;
