13. Common Questions
Question: I know I’m doing the challenge right, but it’s failing
Answer: There’s an evil wizard hiding in your org. Either that or it’s
probably some configuration or customization in your
Developer Edition that’s interfering
The best way to test this is to simply create a new DE org and redo the challenge.
Either that or evict the wizard.
Best Practice Tip
Get two DE orgs – one for playing and experimenting, and another
just for Trailhead challenges.

14. Common Questions
Question: I lost all my badges and points
Answer: The badge monster ate them.
Either that, or check that you’re
logging in at (1) with the same
username. You might have
accidentally logged in with a
different username.
Best Practice Tip Logout when you’re done each day.

15. Common Questions
Question: Is this integrated with the Success
Community? I want to show my
badges there.
Answer: We want you to show your badges
everywhere. It’s not integrated yet,
but in the meantime, you can socially
share your badges.
Be sure you’ve enabled “Show
Trailhead on my Public Profile.” Go
to [your name] | Edit | Settings and
check this box. Click Save.

16. Common Questions
Question: It says my username is taken
Answer: When your username is Taken, call Liam
Neeson. He has a particular set of skills to
help you solve this issue.
Alternatively, pick a unique username.
Usernames need to be unique across ALL
orgs in Salesforce, even your production
org(s).
Your username doesn’t have to be a real
email address. It just has to look like one.
Your email, on the other hand, has to be
real, so you can get the activation email.
Gotta be a real email that you
can access right away
Must be unique across all
Salesforce & look like an email

17. Common Questions
Question: I’m having trouble getting
logged in to do challenges
Answer: I don’t have a joke about this.
Make sure you’re logging in at
(2) with a Developer Edition
org. You can’t do the hands-on
challenges with a production or
sandbox org.

and
Happy Trails!
