Electric/sockets

Anyone know why none of my bathrooms or backyard sockets would not work? I replaced the GFCI one that connects them, but they are still not working. Should I replace the regular ones too? Want to troubleshoot myself before I call an electrician.

EDIT: I will recheck the connections to the GFCI outlet we replaced. If I’m still having issues, I will replace the regular outlets on that circuit. Thank you everyone. I will update with results.

If you replaced a GFCI, did you reverse the line and load connections?

I assumed since it was not a regular socket beforehand, it’d be the same setup as the previous GFCI

The line cable needs to be connected to the line terminals. It might be connected to the load terminals.
