Can't load css files from theme folder

Question

I am trying to load css files from themes folder which is in the root directory. But 404 error is thrown in the console:

GET http://127.0.0.1:8000/theme/elite/css/mainie.css net::ERR_ABORTED 404 (Not Found)

The files are there and working fine on the shared hosting. After downloading the project to my localhost this happened. Must say that I cleared all the caches if that is somehow related with the issue.

php artisan cache:clear
php artisan route:clear
php artisan config:clear
php artisan view:clear

Checked other solution in stackoverf and github but couldn't make it.

When properly set up (or when using php artisan serve), the root directory is not accessible by browsers. This is important for security.

Only files in the public directory can be accessed in the browser, so move your themes folder into that and it should all work.

(Also, decide if it's themes or theme. You use them interchangeably in your question.)

It's a typo. Thank you :)
