 * By default the dashboard’s screen layout is srt to 2 columns. How do I make it
   1 column by default instead (for all users)?
 * Any ideas?
 * Good day!

 * add this to your functions.php file in your theme:
 *     ```
       function change_dashboard_layout() {
           return 1;
       }
       add_filter( 'get_user_option_screen_layout_dashboard', 'change_dashboard_layout' );
       ```
