I am not seeing the admin menu item show up under under 'Settings > Treehouse Badges'.

I am not seeing the admin menu item show up under under 'Settings > Treehouse Badges'. I have tried using the plugin included in the class as well as my own version. I have also tried using under several different WP sites to no avail.

I found that the add_action( 'admin_menu', 'wptreehouse_badges_menu' ); needed to be added before function wptreehouse_badges_menu(), and not inside that function. Please correct the video and downloadable files to reflect this update.

Zac has no idea what he's doing... I'd rather someone with an actual computer science degree to teach me how to code in PHP

Zhenlin Jin that's not being very helpful. I followed exactly what Zac did and had no problems. I had a spelling error and is why my menu option wasn't showing. Do you have a CS degree? If not don't cast stones at someone who is obviously capable in the subject. A CS degree has no bearing on learning how WordPress works or any other technology for that matter.
