Stuck at Wordpress Plugin course Code Challenge

Hi,

I'm stuck at Code Challenge task 2 for the Wordpress plugin course

https://teamtreehouse.com/library/creating-a-plugin-settings-page-2

the system throws an error but I don't understand why as the code I wrote seems to be exactly what is asked:

add_action('admin_menu', 'my_plugin_options_page');

prompt says : second argument of add_action should be my function name ...

well seems like it is

can you help?

thanks a lot

The prompt saying 'second argument of add_action should be my function name' is the clue here. The add_action(); is correct, you just need to have the second part, in your case my_plugin_options_page to be name of the function. In the challenge the function is named my_plugin_menu so your action should be:

add_action('admin_menu','my_plugin_menu');

The code which checks your challenge is correct, assumes you haven't changed the function name, so if you have, change it back :)

Kind regards, Ash
