500 Error

Purpose: The theme's 500 "server error" system page. Template: templates/system/500.html Settings live in: Theme settings › System page › 500 Error Best for: The system page HubSpot serves when the server errors.


What it does

Renders a large error number, a heading, a short description and a single button, over an optional coloured or gradient background with up to two radial glows. This is a template, not a module: there is no page editor, so every setting below comes from Theme settings and the wording comes from the theme's translation files (transl_500_title, transl_500_desc, transl_500_btn).

Elements and the group that styles each

On the page Field group
Large error number Error code — has its own colour and gradient, unlike the other two
Heading (<h1>) Error title
Description paragraph Error description
Button Error button — style, size, mobile full width
Section background and glows Background
Outer / inner width Page container / Inner page container

Variants worth demoing

  1. Classic centred — code, title, description and button, all centred
  2. Left alignedContent alignment set to Left
  3. Gradient numeralError code › Color type set to Gradient
  4. Glow backdrop — one or two radial glows behind the content
  5. MinimalShow large error number off, leaving title and button

"I want to…" → do this

Goal Setting
Hide the big number Error code › Show large error number off
Make the number lighter Error code › Font — the weight dropdown
Recolour the number Error code › Color type → Color or Gradient
Switch the page to dark Color scheme → Dark
Widen the content column Inner page container › Choose container → Custom
Change the button size Error button › Size — Small / Regular / Large

Notes

Where the content comes from

System pages have no page editor. HubSpot renders the body from its own stock module, and the theme only styles what that module emits. That is why this group holds typography, colour, spacing and layout but no text fields: there is nowhere in the UI to type page copy, so the wording comes from HubSpot (or, for the error pages, from the theme's translation files).

Colour scheme

Color scheme is the first field and drives scheme-light / scheme-dark on the section. Every element whose Color type is left on Default follows it, so the page flips between palettes with one control. Set the palettes themselves in Theme settings › Light / Dark color scheme.

Containers

Page container sets the outer width, Inner page container the content column. Both offer Theme's default (inherit Theme settings › Container spacing), Full width, or Custom with per breakpoint widths.

Total fields: 70

Known limits

  • The button link is hardcoded to /. Theme fields.json accepts only boolean / choice / color / font / gradient / group / number / spacing, so a link field cannot exist here. Same reason there is no button icon and no background image option.
  • Error title has no show/hide toggle on purpose: it is the page's <h1>, and an error page without one is bad for users and for crawlers.
