I don't recall the previous video going over this at all.
<?php
function my_plugin_options_page() {
if (!current_user_can('manage_options')) {
wp_die('You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.');
}
}
?>

The training for this portion of the challenge can be found in preceding video, Working with Forms in a WordPress Plugin Settings Page.
The answer can be found beginning at 3:30 of the video, although with a different variable name. However, the concept is the same and I recommend watching the entire video again if you need to.
We will need to create a conditional statement using isset and$_POST while using the Challenge's variable name as the $_POST parameter.
As an aside, sometimes I have to re-watch videos more than once to finish a Challenge or let a concept sink in well enough for me to understand it and then use it. I download all the course videos because I find myself going back to them sometimes when working on my own projects or for a refresher. it's not a bad thing as we all learn at different paces and accumulate knowledge and skills at varied rates.
Best of luck and happy coding. :)

Just opinion. Since no one is answering this, i gave you a possibile thing you could do that i did and it worked. But everyone thinks of advice, differently, same as people view friendship differently :)
