I’m having the same problem, I did the first few topics, Html, CSS, Bootstrap, and jQuery and finished off my first project, the tribute page and when I logged back in, all my progress was gone.
I think the issue occurs when you log in with a different device. I had no issue as long as I logged in on my computer but it seems that my progress was lost after I logged in with my phone to check the forum. Could this be possible? @JacksonBates
@JoelLM I had the same problem. How did you solve progress loss?
When I came back to the first device, and clicked in Freecodecamp logo in top-left corner, I was redirected to current progres (place where I finished), but all the history was lost
There are two different types of saved progress for Free Code Camp: your profile and your browser cache. However, there is also a known issue that may be affecting your account (see below).
Your completed challenges are all saved to your account in the FCC database. You can see the list of completed challenges and also the last submitted solutions by looking at your profile page.
If your profile does not include your completed challenges, here is my troubleshooting advice:
Double check that you used the same method to sign in. Try logging out and back in again with the original method. Attempting to sign in with a different method will sometimes create a duplicate account. (FCC is taking steps to prevent this from happening in the future.)
Double check that you aren’t on the beta site now and that you didn’t create your original account on the beta site by accident. (Yes, this does happen.)
Your progress tracking (map) is saved in your browser’s local storage. In-progress code is also saved in your local browser cache. If you are changing browsers or clearing your cache regularly you’ll have to use freecodecamp.com/map to navigate to your next challenge. Especially as you get to more complicated challenges that may take multiple sessions, I strongly recommend saving your in-progress work outside of the browser cache. This is a good opportunity to learn the ins and outs of your GitHub account, but you can also just save locally or use a service like repl.it which allows for versioning.
Known issue:
If your former progress cannot be found on your profile page, and your score has reset to 1, you have been affected by a known, but rare, issue. The team is working to resolve this issue.
If you want to start again, remember only the beginner and intermediate algorithms (marked on the map with a *), and the projects, are required to attain the front end certificate. Since your projects are likely hosted on Codepen, Surge or GitHub Pages, they have not been lost due to this reset - you can just resubmit them. Your algorithm solutions are the only critical solutions hosted directly on freeCodeCamp, so as you work on these be sure to push them to your GitHib repo, or store them with a service like Codepen, JSFiddle or Repl.
We’re sorry for the inconvenience and we are working hard to resolve future issues.
@crazylittlepolka Your progress is only superficially lost. Go back and just resubmit all your lessons using the keyboard short cut. The work you did should still be there just the indicators on the map are gone. You should be able to get back to where you need to be in no time.
My progress was completely lost as well. I have been trying for months to figure this out. I emailed a while back. if I look for my profile it’s still there. I see my progress and everything.
When I log in it shows an empty curriculum and my user name is set to a uuid. If I change it to my user name, this one, it says it’s already in use. I tried every method I could think of to relink my old account. Nothing works. I wish I could see which email I used.
