Hello Obala, Can you show us your web.php file? I think the problem is with the routing.

here is my route and the middleware used
Route::middleware(['auth', 'verified', 'xss', 'checkUserStatus'])->group(function () {
Route::get('profile', [UserController::class, 'editProfile']);
Route::post('change-password', [UserController::class, 'changePassword']);
Route::post('profile-update', [UserController::class, 'profileUpdate']);
Route::post('update-language', [UserController::class, 'updateLanguage']);
});
Route::middleware(['auth', 'verified', 'xss', 'checkUserStatus'])->group(function () {
Route::get('profile', [UserController::class, 'editProfile']);
Route::post('change-password', [UserController::class, 'changePassword']);
Route::post('profile-update', [UserController::class, 'profileUpdate']);
Route::post('update-language', [UserController::class, 'updateLanguage']);
});

Do you have defined, which route (in the UserController) Laravel has to follow when you're not logged in?
Obala
ObalaOP14mo ago
yes, they are all setup and working, i only get the error say when i visit /profile without logging in first, butt when i visit route like /login or /register or the front routes which does not require authentication i don't get any error

Can you show me the middleware array in app\Http\Kernel.php? Also, can I see the use statement for the Response class inside the UserController class I see that you have a checkUserStatus in the middleware as well. Can I take a look at that middleware class too?

if (Auth::check() && ! $request->user()->status) {
Auth::logout();
Flash::error('Your Account is currently disabled, please contact to administrator.');

return redirect()->back();
}

return $response;
