 * Hi [@yehoshanah](https://wordpress.org/support/users/yehoshanah/),
 * thanks for reaching out.
    This problem is resolved in the MainWP Dashboard 4.1.4.1.
   Please update your MainWP Dashboard plugin and see how it goes. If the update
   of the MainWP Dashboard fails, please try to reinstall it so the version 4.1.4.1
   is active.

 * I had to delete the mainwp plugin via file manager to reinstall the updated version.
