json_feed = wp_remote_get( json_feed_url, $args );

I'm again having an issue again. I have tried it several different methods and nothing is working. What am I doing wrong?

plugin.php 
<?php
function my_plugin_get_profile($my_plugin_username) {
  $json_feed_url = 'http://myapi.net/'. $my_plugin_username .'.json';
  $args = array( 'timeout' => 120 );
  json_feed = wp_remote_get( json_feed_url, $args );


}

Renee,

The problem here seems to be that you're missing the $ on your json_feed variable and on your json_feed_url argument.

You have:

json_feed = wp_remote_get( json_feed_url, $args );

You want:

$json_feed = wp_remote_get( $json_feed_url, $args );

Make that simple fix, and you should be on your way!

Erik
