change second if for a switch like this:

switch($role){ case 'admin': echo 'As an admin, you can add, edit, or delete any post.'; break; default: echo "You do not have access to this page. Please contact your administrator."; break; }

The challenge is change the if statement for a switch condition, and before default is a ":" not ";". Hope you understand:

<?php //Available roles: admin, editor, author, subscriber if (!isset($role)) { $role = 'subscriber'; }

//change to switch statement

switch($role){ case 'admin': echo 'As an admin, you can add, edit, or delete any post.'; break; default: echo "You do not have access to this page. Please contact your administrator."; break; } '''

it's not working ......

Thank you, Rafael Felipe !
