Create Custom Exception Error Page In Laravel
Hey developers, today I’m going to show how to create custom error page in Laravel. We’re able to create custom error page for a specific error. In this article, I’ll create custom page for 404 error.
Table of Contents

Here’s the list of HTTP status codes:
$http_status_codes = array(

2. Create 404 View File
Go to resources/views folder and create a folder named errors. In the errors folder, create a file called 404.blade.php. So the location of our 404 page is resources/views/errors/404.blade.php.
In this file, you can set your custom design. I’m going to set a text only:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Page Not Found</title>
</head>
<body>
This is the custom 404 error page.
</body>
</html>3. Modify Exceptions Handler
Open app/Exceptions/Handler.php file and find the render() method. We’ll modify the render() function only. Here’s the modified code:
public function render($request, Exception $exception)
{
if ($this->isHttpException($exception)) {
if ($exception->getStatusCode() == 404) {
return response()->view('errors.' . '404', [], 404);
}
}
return parent::render($request, $exception);
}In this file, I’m checking status code 404 for the 404 error page. Like this, you can set condition for another error. Let’s see the code for 404 & 500 errors:
public function render($request, Exception $exception)
{
if ($this->isHttpException($exception)) {
if ($exception->getStatusCode() == 404) {
return response()->view('errors.' . '404', [], 404);
}
if ($exception->getStatusCode() == 500) {
return response()->view('errors.' . '500', [], 500);
}
}
return parent::render($request, $exception);
}We’ve created the custom page for 404 error & set condition in exceptions handler file. Now let’s see the output:
