Laravel is distributed with a default webroot folder called /public/ within its file structure, but that is not compatible with all web servers. Some servers will have a webroot in a different location, such as /public_html/ on cPanel servers.
Theme::url() makes an assumption that Laravel's /public/ folder is the webroot, and therefore fails to find assets when the webroot is located somewhere else. One workaround could be to compose the path using $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] as the base.
