Laravel 8 Tutorial - Custom 404 Page

In this tutorial, we are going to learn how to create a custom 404 page in Laravel 8.

By default, when we go to any wrong URL that does not exist, such as /xyz, it shows the default 404 "page not found" page.

Let's see how we can create our own custom 404 page. To create a custom 404 page, just go to the views directory and create a new folder. Let's say the folder name is errors.

Inside the errors folder, create a new file named 404.blade.php. Inside this file, write the following code:


<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="ie=edge">
    <title>Page Not Found</title>
    {{-- Add here bootstrap css cdn --}}
</head>
<body>
    <section style="padding-top:100px">
        <div class="container">
            <div class="row">
                <div class="col-md-8 offset-md-2 text-center">
                    <h1 style="font-size:162px">404</h1>
                    <h2>Page Not Found</h2>
                    <p>We are sorry, the page you requested could not be found. Please go back to the homepage.</p>
                    <a href="/" class="btn btn-primary">Visit Homepage</a>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </section>    
</body>
</html>
