29,401 PointsHow to build a wordpress plugin
Can't pass this task and not sure what I'm doing wrong.
Here is the question.
Create an empty function named my_plugin_styles and then use the information in the comment to enque the admin stylesheet. Here is my answer.
<?php
// Handle: my_plugin_css
// Plugin folder: my-plugin
// CSS file: my-plugin.css
function my_plugin_styles() {
wp-enqueue-style( 'my_plugin_styles', plugins_url('my-plugin/my-plugin.css') );
}
add_action('admin_head', 'my_plugin_styles');
?>
Any tips?

Now look at your my_plugin_styles function. Not empty.

Courses Plus Student 2,831 PointsI had the same problem - the issue is the video is inconsistent with the exercise. 1. in the video the wp_enqueue_style() is wrapped or is part of the the function. 2. the wp_enqueue_style() uses a different parameter set. I had to - which is not a problem - look up doc from wordpress.org to get it to pass.
At least that is how I understand the issue.
