WordPress How to Build a WordPress Plugin Building a WordPress Plugin Settings Page Admin Area Forms in WordPress

What is wrong with my code?

After the if statement, require a file named "page-wrapper.php", located inside of the includes folder.

<?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']) ) {
        $my_plugin_username = esc_html( $_POST['my_plugin_username'] );
      require( 'includes/page-wrapper.php' );
    }
}

}

?>

Its been a while, but fingers crossed you'll see this...

You haven't closed the check for whether the user is not an admin. This means that the above code will only set the username for users who aren't admins!

You want something like this:

if (!current_user_can('manage_options')) { wp_die('You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.'); } // the absence of this closing tag is causing the problems! if( isset( $_POST['my_plugin_hidden_field']) ) { $my_plugin_username = esc_html( $_POST['my_plugin_username'] ); require( 'includes/page-wrapper.php' ); }

Hope that helps!
