20,999 PointsTrouble with Challenge Task 3 of 3 from Adding Settings to a Wordpress Widget
I am not sure where's the problem. The error says:
Bummer! Make sure to save the $instance['num_courses'] value into the num_courses variable.
I did that. Help appreciated:
<?php
class My_Plugin_Widget extends WP_Widget {
function my_plugin_widget() {
parent::__construct( false, 'My Plugin Widget' );
}
function widget( $args, $instance ) {
extract( $args );
$title = apply_filters( 'widget_title' , $instance['title'] );
$num_courses = $instance['num_courses'];
}
function update( $new_instance, $old_instance ) {
$instance = $old_instance;
$instance['title'] = strip_tags($new_instance['title']);
$instance['num_courses'] = strip_tags($new_instance['num_courses']);
return $instance;
}
function form( $instance ) {
$title = esc_attr($instance['title']);
$num_courses = esc_attr($instance['num_courses']);
require( 'inc/widget-fields.php' );
require( 'inc/widget-front-end.php' );
}
}
function my_plugin_register_widgets() {
register_widget( 'My_Plugin_Widget' );
}
add_action( 'widgets_init', 'my_plugin_register_widgets' );
?>

20,999 PointsThanks for the clue, Gloria! The problem was in not requiring the include file in the widget function, but doing it in the form function.
