You are logged in as: @.com

  2. Return to Voyager admin -> Settings -> Add the client ID under admin section and save.

Research direction
The issue describes that after adding a Google Analytics client ID in Voyager, the dashboard sometimes only shows the logged in user text instead of analytics. The solution is to enable the Analytics API in the Google Cloud Console. To fix this, maintainers should add a note in the documentation or settings page advising users to enable the Analytics API after creating the client ID. No code changes are needed, as it's a configuration step.
