Coding return error that doesn't make sense

Why is line 29 incorrect the example script in the video uses this function? current_user_can

plugin.php
<?php

function my_plugin_menu() {

    // Page Title: My Plugin Settings Page
    // Menu Title: My Plugin
    // Slug: Same as menu name, but with hyphens instead of spaces
    // Make sure user has ability to manage plugin options
    // my_plugin_options_page() is the function for what displays on the options page

  /*use add_options_page function
  * add_options_page($page_title, $menu_title, $capability, $menu_slug, $function)

  */

    add_options_page(
    'My Plugin Settings Page',
    'My Plugin',
    'manage_options',
    'my-plugin',
    'my_plugin_options_page'
    );


}
add_action('admin_menu', 'my_plugin_menu');

function my_plugin_options_page(){
  if(! current_user_can('manage_options')){
    wp_die("you do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.");  

  }

  echo "<p>Welcome to our plugin page!<.p>";
}


?>

Hi Christine,

Can you be a little more specific as into what error you are getting? Is it specific to the challenge linked to this? If so it never requests that the conditional is to be added to this code challenge. Code challenges are very specific.

When closing the Welcome to our plugin page! you have a . vs / as well. The challenge does not like the <p></p>.
