My Progress

Your checklist lives here. As you finish each item on The Path, edit this page (Pages → My Progress → Edit) and change its [ ] to [x]. Editing this page is itself practice.

Level 1 — WordPress

• [ ] Toured the whole Dashboard
• [ ] Took my first snapshot (WP Reset)

• [ ] Built and published a page
• [ ] Built a post — and can explain page vs post
• [ ] Edited the site menu
• [ ] Previewed and changed a theme
• [ ] Installed a plugin myself
• [ ] Created a user with a non-admin role and looked through their eyes
• [ ] Ran updates the safe way (snapshot → one at a time → check)
• [ ] Read Site Health and understood each item
• [ ] Finished Fix-It Challenge 1

Level 2 — Code

• [ ] Edited a page in the code editor (HTML)

Level 3 — Hosting & Command Line

• [ ] Can explain domain → DNS → server → WordPress in my own words
• [ ] Logged into the sandbox terminal
• [ ] Listed files, moved around, and read the error log
