How to fix error Base table or view not found: 1146 Table laravel relationship table?

It seems Laravel is trying to use category_posts table (because of many-to-many relationship). But you don't have this table, because you've created category_post table. Change name of the table to category_posts.

Laravel tries to guess the name of the table, you have to specify it directly so that it does not give you that error..

Try this:

class NameModel extends Model {
    public $table = 'name_exact_of_the_table';

I hope that helps!

Schema::table is to modify an existing table, use Schema::create to create new.
