I can't get past this challenge

i can't get past this change and I've tried other suggestions which have not worked

After you uncomment the code in Main.java and Forum.java, fix the code as described in the comments of Main.java. The code in main is attempting to use the code you just fixed

Forum.java
public class Forum {
  private String topic;
  private User autoher;

  // TODO: add a constructor that accepts a topic and sets the private field topic



  public  Forum(String topic){

    this.topic = topic;


  }


  public User getAuthor(){
    return author;


  }


  public String getTopic() {
    return topic;
  }


  // Uncomment this when you are prompted to do so
  public void addPost(ForumPost post) {
    System.out.printf("A new post in %s topic from %s %s about %s is available",
            topic,
            post.getAuthor().getFirstName(),
            post.getAuthor().getLastName(),
            post.getTitle()
    );
  }


}
User.java
public class User {
  // TODO: add private fields for firstName and lastName

  private String firstName;
  private String lastName;

  public User(String firstName, String lastName) {
    // TODO: set and add the private fields

    this.firstName = firstName;
    this.lastName = lastName;

  }

  // TODO: add getters for firstName and lastName

  public String getFirstName(){
    return firstName;
  }


  public String getLastName(){
    return lastName;

  }

}
ForumPost.java
public class ForumPost {
  private User author;
  private String title;
  private String description;


    // TODO: add a constructor that accepts the author, title and description


  public ForumPost(User author, String title, String description){

    this.author = author;
    this.title = title;
    this.description = description;



  }



}
Main.java
public class Main {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
   System.out.println("Beginning forum example");
    if (args.length < 2) {
      System.out.println("Usage: java Main <first name> <last name>");
      System.err.println("<first name> and <last name> are required");
      System.exit(1);
    }

    Forum forum = new Forum("Java");
    // TODO: pass in the first name and last name that are in the args parameter

    User author = new User("Donta", "White"); //<----- all cruicial points marked with comments
    // TODO: initialize the forum post with the user created above and a title and description of your choice

    ForumPost post = new ForumPost(author, "Programming is awesome", "Cuz it makes us create new stuff");
    forum.addPost(post);

  }
