I'm confident that my code is correct, but I'm still not getting the correct answer. Here's the code
<?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 '] ) ) {
$hidden_field = esc_html( $_POST['my_plugin_hidden_field '] );
if( $hidden_field == 'Y' ) {
$my_plugin_username = esc_html( $_POST['my_plugin_username'] );
echo $my_plugin_username;
}
}
}
?>

Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 16,039 PointsHi Dave....this did not solve the problem I've found others had the same problem and the CORRECT solution worked for some but not others.
Seems like a glitch.
