Treehouse TeacherHi there, Sinead KACHROO ! You're doing terrific and you are off by literally one character.
The string that echos out when the user is an admin is meant to have a full stop/period at the end.
Where you typed:
echo "As an admin, you can add, edit, or delete any post";
The challenge is expecting:
echo "As an admin, you can add, edit, or delete any post.";
Note the full stop/period immediately following the word "post"
Hope this helps!
