🛠️ Troubleshooting common issues

Tip: If you encounter a 404 Not Found error when navigating pages, check if your .htaccess file is present or if your server's "Rewrite Module" is enabled. If you cannot find your project files, double-check your IDE's "Recent Projects" list or the paths mentioned in the Project Structure section above.
