flowbite-react/tailwind doesn’t exist, flowbite-react has no export for tailwind. According to the documentation (https://flowbite.com/docs/getting-started/react/), you need to do the following:

tailwind.config.js:
```
/** 
 * @type {import('tailwindcss').Config} 
 */
module.exports = {
  content: [
    "./src/**/*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx}", 
    flowbite.content()
  ],
  theme: {
    extend: {},
  },
  plugins: [
    require('flowbite/plugin'), 
    require("tailwind-scrollbar")
  ],
};
```
I removed const flowbite = require("flowbite-react/tailwind"); and flowbite.plugin() from your plugins list and added require('flowbite/plugin').

I have faced the same issue. You will need to install/upgrade your flowbite-react package to version 0.8.0

That way you can use const flowbite = require("flowbite-react/tailwind"); as what they have stated in their github page

From then you can implement:
```
const flowbite = require("flowbite-react/tailwind");

/** @type {import('tailwindcss').Config} */
module.exports = {
  content: [
    // ...
    flowbite.content(),
  ],
  plugins: [
    // ...
    flowbite.plugin(),
  ],
};
```
