I keep getting task 1 is no longer passing error message - wordpress plugin development step 3

I can't find what in my code is making the run crash

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

  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() {

  echo Welome to my plugin settings page;

Hi Reginald! The reason you're getting "Task 1 is no longer passing" is because you've introduced a syntax error. You're meant to be echoing out the string "Welcome to my plugins settings page.". To echo out a string, you need to denote that it's a string by putting it inside of quotations. Also, you've misspelled "Welcome" and forgotten a period/full stop at the end of the intended string to be echoed out.

I hope these hints help, but let me know if you're still stuck! :sparkles:
