We just moved from vanilla forums to Discourse and it is great - not sure why we didn’t move a long time ago.  
We are using google tag manager for a variety of functions but it appears that google tag manager doesn’t get initiated on a 404 page.

If you view the source or inspect, you can see that the GTM container is called.

However, if you load a page that creates a 404, the GTM container is never loaded.

Hey @bvdrie72!

Did you manage to figure this out? How to GA track 404 pages?
