JSON Code Challege Help

Hoping someone can help with this. I can't get past the second part of the first JSON code challenge in the "Create a Plugin for Wordpress" course. When I enter in the code below:

{ "users": [ {"first_name": "Mike", "last_name": "the Frog"} ] }

I get the error "Task 1 is no longer passing." Task 1 was to create a JSON document with an empty array called "users", and task two was to add a user with the first name "Mike" and last name "the Frog". It's asking me to put something in the array, so of course Task 1 is no longer going to pass. Is there something else that I'm missing?

Christina,

Are you still stuck on this? If so, here is some help:

Keep in mind that these code challenges are usually looking for something very specific, so it's always important to first check your spelling, punctuation, capitalization, etc.

In this case, your code looks fine except for the names of your keys: the challenge wants "First Name" and "Last Name", and you've entered "first_name" and "last_name". Correct this and you'll be good to go!

Hope this helps!

Erik

Task 1 { "users": [ ] }

Task 2

"users":[ {"First Name": "Mike", "Last Name": "the Frog"} ]

Good luck had to go to other places to learn this, no help with this video at all
