7,386 PointsInside of the my_plugin_menu() function, write out the function to add a link for a plugin options page to the admin nav
I read and took notes on the previous lesson. I'm still not understanding what I should write as the answer.
<?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_action('admin_menu','my_plugin_menu') function add_options_page ( ) { echo '<p>Welcome to my plugin settings page</p>';
} ?>

I believe the function you need to use is add_options_page()
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_options_page
<?php
add_options_page("My Plugin Settings Page", "My Plugin", "manage_options", "my-plugin", "my_plugin_options_page");
?>
The comments in the function are what the values should be for each of the add_options_page function parameters.

16,593 PointsAlmost there! It looks like you are missing the semi color after your add_action function. Just added that back in
