Hello everyone,
I'm following this tuto about Laravel nova.
https://voltagead.com/creating-a-cms-with-laravel-nova/
But when I finish the "Front end" section and I try to open a front end page at "http://sitename/slug", I get a 404 error. except when the slug = "first-post" (My other slugs are "second-post", "third-post", etc.)
I don't find what turned wrong.
Thanks for the answers...

You always get a 404 whenever you try to access an URL with a slug that doesn't exist in the posts table. The reason for that is because your query for the Post only returns a post whenever the slug exists.
I'm not sure what exact;y your question, because the code is behaving exactly like how you wrote it.
