10,953 PointsWhat exactly am I doing wrong here? Challenge Task 2 of 3.
I'm doing exactly what it tells me to do, and yet, it says I'm wrong. Can someone help?
<?php
function my_plugin_options_page() {
if (!current_user_can('manage_options')) {
wp_die('You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.');
}
if (isset( $_POST['my_plugin_hidden_field_submitted'] ) ) {
$my_plugin_username = esc_html( $_POST['my_plugin_hidden_field_submitted'] );
}
}
?>

26,676 PointsHi Victor,
You have a couple of issues regarding your $_POST
key names, they are:
Your
isset
statement should be referring to the key namedmy_plugin_hidden_field
for$_POST
, _submitted can be omittedYour variable
$my_plugin_username
has the wrong$_POST
value assigned to it, instead of my_plugin_hidden_field_submitted you should have my_plugin_username
if (isset($_POST['my_plugin_hidden_field'])) {
$my_plugin_username = esc_html($_POST['my_plugin_username']);
}
Happy coding!
