Connecting WordPress Plugins with 3rd Party APIs

Code challenge question: Now you have the profile data from your JSON feed in the $my_plugin_profile variable (see example in the comment). Echo out the name of the user from the profile.

I used <?php echo $my_plugin_profile->{ 'name' }; ?> but I got a "Bummer, Try Again" message. I tried this inside a paragraph, inside a postbox, etc. Not sure what I'm missing.

I am not sure if this could be your issue, but, in the code challenge you don't need to wrap the echo statement in php tags. 

echo $my_plugin_profile->{"name"};

I just ran that in the code challenge and it worked for me.
