Class "App\Models\BlogPostCategory" not found in Laravel 8

After creating a new post, I want it to redirect the page to a list of the posts. It is creating it successfully, and data insert into the database correctly, but when it redirects, I got this error, and the same class is working in authors functions in the same controller.

BlogController

namespace App\Http\Controllers\Backend;

use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Models\Blog\BlogPostCategory;
use Carbon\Carbon;
use App\Models\BlogPost;
use Image;

class BlogController extends Controller
{
    public function BlogPostStore(Request $request)
    {
        $request->validate([
            'post_title_en' => 'required',
            'post_title_ar' => 'required',
            'post_image' => 'required',
        ], [
            'post_title_en.required' => 'Input Post Title English Name',
            'post_title_ar.required' => 'Input Post Title Arabic Name',
        ]);

        $image = $request->file('post_image');
        $name_gen = hexdec(uniqid()).'.'.$image->getClientOriginalExtension();
        Image::make($image)->resize(780, 433)->save('upload/post/'.$name_gen);
        $save_url = 'upload/post/'.$name_gen;

        BlogPost::insert([
            'category_id' => $request->category_id,
            'post_title_en' => $request->post_title_en,
            'post_title_ar' => $request->post_title_ar,
            'post_slug_en' => strtolower(str_replace(' ', '-', $request->post_title_en)),
            'post_slug_ar' => str_replace(' ', '-', $request->post_title_ar),
            'post_image' => $save_url,
            'post_details_en' => $request->post_details_en,
            'post_details_ar' => $request->post_details_ar,
            'created_at' => Carbon::now(),
        ]);

        $notification = array(
            'message' => 'Blog Post Inserted Successfully',
            'alert-type' => 'success'
        );

        return redirect()->route('list.post')->with($notification);
    }
}

Pposts list function in BlogController*

public function ListBlogPost()
{
    $blogpost = BlogPost::with('category')->latest()->get();
    
    return view('backend.blog.post.post_list', compact('blogpost'));
}

Routes

Route::prefix('blog')->group(function(){
    Route::get('/list/post', [BlogController::class, 'ListBlogPost'])
        ->name('list.post');
    Route::post('/post/store', [BlogController::class, 'BlogPostStore'])
        ->name('post-store');
});

and I create BlogPostCategory class in path

App\Models\Blog\BlogPostCategory;

@ALAA ELDIN, There would be one of the below errors. -

  1. Check out the importing path you have used in BlogPost. Check the association as well.
  2. Check out the importing path you have used in the BlogPostCategory model.

Just rectify the path & clear the cache, and the error will be resolved.

The problem is most likely due to the relationship definition within the App\Models\BlogPost model.

I think you have a category method in your App\Models\BlogPost model;

public function category()
{
    return $this->belongsTo(BlogPostCategory::class);
}

So it is looking for BlogPostCategory in same namespace but since your BlogPostCategory 's full path is App\Models\Blog\BlogPostCategory you need to specify this.

Add use App\Models\Blog\BlogPostCategory; on top of your App\Models\BlogPost class.

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use App\Models\Blog\BlogPostCategory;
//    other classes

class BlogPost extends Model
{
    // other stuff

    public function category()
    {
        return $this->belongsTo(BlogPostCategory::class);
    }
}
