How do I make ProcessWire display the 404 "page not found" page?

I put the declarations into separate files for better overview (_init.php would get rather lengthy if I didn't)

I'm surprised you have so many template variables to declare. You might like to take a look at Markup Regions because that should greatly reduce the number of variables you need to hold markup.

Here's the the essential part of my _init.php (which is automatically prepended to all my template files):

include_once('_func.php');
include_once('_header.php');
include_once('_sidebar.php');
include_once('_footer.php');
include_once('_buttons.php');

Does the below work? (P.S. parentheses are redundant for include, include_once, etc because they are expressions rather than functions)

include_once './_func.php';
include './_header.php';
include './_sidebar.php';
include './_footer.php';
include './_buttons.php';

Thanks for making me aware of something that I've done wrong for about 20 years ?

This works. Great. Thanks a lot, @Robin S!

(But I still don't get why my content variables get dropped when the files holding them are pulled in with include_once ...)

It's not the number of variables that makes my code lengthy but rather the amount of (conditional) HTML I have to put inside them. Thanks anyway!
