I have errors appearing when tags and categories not found so I have added a forced 404 error page.

So in the 'components/BlogList.php' starting at around line 263 -> 'return $this->controller->run('404');'

if ($this->property('filter_type') == 'category'){
            $category_name = $this->property('filter_value');
            $category = CategoryModel::where('slug', '=', $category_name)->first();
            if($category){
                $catID = $category->id;
            }else{
                $catID = '#';
        return $this->controller->run('404');
            }
            $BlogPosts->filterByCategory($catID);
        }

        if ($this->property('filter_type') == 'tag'){
            $tag = TagModel::where('slug', '=', $this->property('filter_value'))->first();
            if($tag){
                return $tag->posts()->paginate($this->property('postsPerPage'));
            } else {
                return $this->controller->run('404');
            }
        }

Hi ChadStrat,

Please can the above be fixed. I am getting 500 errors listed when they are actual 404's.
