I’m working with Laravel 11 and Livewire to create a simple component that increments a counter when a button is clicked. However, when I click the “Increment” button, instead of updating the count, it returns a “404 Not Found” error.
Here’s my setup:
UPDATE ::::
“I identified the issue with the routes. When I test the following outside of this route:
it works perfectly. However, when I use it within this route, I encounter a ‘404 Not Found’ error. The issue seems to be related to the Mcamara localization package. Is there any solution to this?”
Route (web.php):
Route::group([
'prefix' => LaravelLocalization::setLocale(),
'middleware' => ['localeSessionRedirect', 'localizationRedirect', 'localeViewPath', 'auth']
], function () {
Route::get('test', function () {
return view('livewire.test');
});
});
View (resources/views/livewire/test.blade.php):
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="{{ str_replace('_', '-', app()->getLocale()) }}">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>{{ $title ?? 'Page Title' }}</title>
@livewireStyles
</head>
<body>
<livewire:test-component />
@livewireScripts
</body>
</html>
Livewire Component (TestComponent.php):
namespace AppLivewire;
use LivewireComponent;
class TestComponent extends Component
{
public $count = 0;
public function increment()
{
$this->count++;
}
public function render()
{
return view('livewire.test-component');
}
}
Test Component View (resources/views/livewire/test-component.blade.php):
<div>
<button wire:click="increment">Increment</button>
<h1>{{ $count }}</h1>
</div>
When I access the test route, the page loads, but as soon as I click the “Increment” button, a 404 error is returned. I’ve confirmed that the button should trigger an Ajax request, but it seems like something is breaking along the way.

The 404 error in your Livewire component when clicking the “Increment” button is likely caused by one or more of the following issues:
-
Incorrect Livewire Component Namespace Registration:
Make sure that Livewire knows about yourTestComponentby registering it properly in the Livewire namespace. By default, Livewire expects components to be under theAppHttpLivewirenamespace unless you’ve configured it otherwise. In your case, the component is inAppLivewire, which might not match Livewire’s default configuration.To resolve this, you have two options:
Option 1: Change the namespace of your
TestComponenttoAppHttpLivewire(the default namespace):namespace AppHttpLivewire; use LivewireComponent; class TestComponent extends Component { public $count = 0; public function increment() { $this->count++; } public function render() { return view('livewire.test-component'); } }Option 2: Register the component manually if using a custom namespace:
If you want to keep the component inAppLivewire, you need to explicitly register the component in theAppServiceProvideror your preferred service provider.Add this to
AppProvidersAppServiceProvider.php:use LivewireLivewire; use AppLivewireTestComponent; public function boot() { Livewire::component('test-component', TestComponent::class); } -
Correct Route for Livewire Component:
Since you’re working with Livewire, make sure the Livewire routes are correctly loaded. Livewire’s Ajax requests work through POST requests, so it’s crucial that your Laravel app has the/livewire/messageroutes properly set up. This is done automatically when you include the Livewire scripts (@livewireScripts). -
Correct
TestComponentView and File Location:
Ensure the Livewire component viewresources/views/livewire/test-component.blade.phpexists and is correctly named. Livewire looks for views by their component name, so ensure the filename matches.The directory structure should be:
resources/views/livewire/test.blade.phpfor your test viewresources/views/livewire/test-component.blade.phpfor the component view
-
Include Livewire Scripts and Styles:
Ensure that you have added@livewireScriptsand@livewireStylesin the Blade file where you are loading the component (resources/views/livewire/test.blade.php). These scripts and styles are crucial for Livewire to function properly on the frontend.Example:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="{{ str_replace('_', '-', app()->getLocale()) }}"> <head> <meta charset="utf-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> <title>{{ $title ?? 'Page Title' }}</title> @livewireStyles </head> <body> <livewire:test-component /> @livewireScripts </body> </html> -
Check the JavaScript Console:
Open the browser’s developer console and look for JavaScript errors. Livewire makes Ajax requests behind the scenes, and any issue with the Ajax request will be logged in the console. If you see any errors in the console (like500,404, or any other errors), they might give you a clue about what is wrong. -
Ensure Livewire is Installed Correctly:
Verify that Livewire is correctly installed by checking yourcomposer.jsonand ensuring thelivewire/livewirepackage is installed. You can do this by running the following command:composer require livewire/livewire -
Double-check Laravel version compatibility:
Since you’re working with Laravel 11, ensure that Livewire is compatible with the version you’re using. Check the Livewire documentation to ensure you’re using the correct version of Livewire for Laravel 11.
By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the 404 error in your Livewire component and get the “Increment” button working as expected.
