We are seeing the following error after migrating a WordPress site from one server to another.
lessphp fatal error: load error: failed to find /hermes/bosnaweb18a/b2978/ipw.m3federalcom/public_html/m3federal/wp-content/themes/theme44107/bootstrap/less/bootstrap.less lessphp fatal error: load error: failed to find /hermes/bosnaweb18a/b2978/ipw.m3federalcom/public_html/m3federal/wp-content/themes/theme44107/style.less
The domain in question is on a parked testing domain (cerwebtest.net) and you will see the error at the top after clicking on any page other than the homepage. We have updated all plugins / WordPress to latest versions from within the WordPress admin portal. I have verified that the files in the error do exist. I have tried (according to this resource) removing the bootstrap.less.cache and style.less.cache files to try to force it to look at the .less files for generating the site. It only fixed the error on the main page but not any sub pages. The site appears to be loading correctly even with the something calling those files but not finding / using them. Any ideas as to what needs to be done to correct the error?

we used https://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/ to find and replace incorrect database path links. they needed to be updated from /hermes/bosnaweb18a/b2978/ipw.m3federalcom/ to our current linux servers file paths. we then updated the permalinks in wp-admin. we also deleted the .cache files under wp-content to remove stored site caching. after all that, site started functioning properly.
