 * I had accidentally deleted the dashboard.php file without realizing it. I actually
   have a different issue altogether which I will create a separate topic for. Sorry
   for such a silly mistake on my part! I’m still learning.
 * Stay positive and stay safe! Truthfulness, compassion, and patience will get 
   us through these difficult times!
