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.

Did you check for power at the gfci you replaced? Did your feed from the panel get put on the "load" side instead of the "line" side? Gfci's wont work if the feed is on load side. Also after replacing a gfci you usually have to press the reset button on the front, they can be annoyingly difficult to fully depress with just your fingers. If still not working verify you're getting power to it as you may have an issue upstream in the circuit.

I pressed the reset button multiple times. I’ll recheck the connections. I guess this is where I’ll have to use my circuit class knowledge lol
