Instead of adding attr_accessible beforehand, just add those three attributes to the list that's already there, like this:

attr_accessible :email, :password, :password_confirmation, :remember_me, :first_name, :last_name, :profile_name

Hey Brian,

That question is actually kind of confusing. It's asking for you to add the first name, last name, and profile NAMES, but you type it :profile_name instead of :profile_names. It's asking for the information of each user, and since each user only has one profile name, that's how we add it to the list of attributes.

thank for your reply. i fixed the :profile_name. when i put like this way attr_accessible :email, :password, :password_confirmation, :remember_me :first_name, :last_name, :profile_name "it said bummer"

what i mean is should i type like this attr_accessible :email, :password, :password_confirmation, :remember_me attr_accessible :first_name, :last_name, :profile_name
