Challenge task 2 of 3 Underneath the my_plugin_username declaration, add the variable to the options array. Then create

Underneath the my_plugin_username declaration, add the variable to the options array. Then create an options index of last_updated and assign it the UNIX timestamp for the current time.

$options['last_updated'] = time();

Placed this where it says does not work. Looked up his code the same except it uses update instead of updated.Does not work

Bummer! Only one value has been added to the options array.

Are you missing user_name, try to add $options['user_name'] = $user_name;

That part of the code was written by the instructor.. Here is the full code. <?php $options = array();

function my_plugin_options_page() {
    if( !current_user_can( 'manage_options' ) ) {
        wp_die( 'You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.' );
    }
  global $options;
    if( isset( $_POST['my_plugin_hidden_field'] ) ) {           
        $my_plugin_username = esc_html( $_POST['my_plugin_username'] );
        $options['last_updated'] = time();
