            Route::get('add-post-new', function () {

        //  dd('something');
            return view('a.addPost');

There is no error thrown?Try to add the 404 error page at resources/views/errors/404.blade.php and see if the page is rendered.. – Mihai Matei

Make a 404.blade.php page in /resources/views/errors/ folder and that page will be shown if:

  • a route does not exist
  • when you use ->findOrFail($modelId);
  • when you use abort(404);

instead of laravel error for non existing route:

Sorry, the page you are looking for could not be found.
1/1 NotFoundHttpException in RouteCollection.php line 161:
  1. make 404.blade.php page in /resources/views/errors/ folder

and then just call it with

abort(404);

For example make a route like this:

Route::get('/404', function () {
    return abort(404);
});

you set an 404 route using this.then use any view file in that route

App::error(function(Exception $exception, $code)
{
Log::error($exception);

if (Config::get('app.debug') == false) {
    return Redirect::route('404');
}
});

You can use the abort(); method and create a view into the error folder, just as explained in the documentation.

Laravel will automatically fetch the error page there and display it.

try{
    return view($SomeInvalidView);
}  catch (Exception $e){
    abort(404);
}
