Hi, I’m stuck on the first fcc project “build a tribute page”. So far I’ve tried to click the link that takes me to codepen and I’ve successfully made an account etc but the FCC testing overlay just won’t show up. The so-called drop down menu that everyone seems to have isn’t appearing no matter what I do. I’ve tried adding the “https://cdn.freecodecamp.org/testable-projects-fcc/v1/bundle.js” script too and whatever forking is but my patience is running low and I can’t find any useful help online despite my trying.
Here’s a link to my project https://codepen.io/szk1/pen/WNXYxVP
my patience is running low
OK, relax. This step is a hard one, going from working in the FCC sandbox and moving to the CodePen sandbox. This is tough. A lot of people have issues on the first projects.
whatever forking is
A fork is basically a copy. The term “fork” comes from when you deal with different versions of the app, like they are on a path, moving through time. At some point someone makes a “fork”, a copy that starts a new branch or “fork” in that path. But for now, just think of it as “a copy”. You are creating a copy in your own account on which you can work.
For that matter, I don’t know that you really need to create a copy/fork. There’s nothing in there except for the test stuff so I don’t think it really matters.
The so-called drop down menu that everyone seems to have isn’t appearing no matter what I do.
When I go to your pen, I see the green “hamburger” in the upper left:
When I click on that, it opens up and I see the drop down menu. Are you not seeing that?

Looking at your pen, it looks like you did successfully fork the FCC boilerplate project.

If you do not see the test widget make sure you are not blocking third-party cookies.
