https://teamtreehouse.com/library/creating-a-plugin-settings-page-2
<?php
function my_plugin_menu() {
// Page Title: My Plugin Settings Page
// Menu Title: My Plugin
// Slug: Same as menu name, but with hyphens instead of spaces
// Make sure user has ability to manage plugin options
// my_plugin_options_page() is the function for what displays on the options page
add_options_page(
'My Plugin Settings Page',
'My Plugin',
'manage_options',
'my-plugin',

Treehouse TeacherHi there! First you're setting up your function inside a function which is allowed, but not what they're expecting. Also, you're going above and beyond the call of duty here to check if the user has rights to access the page. Again, this was not required by the challenge. And in your echo statement, you've echoed paragraph tags which aren't required. Take a look at my solution:
<?php
function my_plugin_menu() {
// Page Title: My Plugin Settings Page
// Menu Title: My Plugin
// Slug: Same as menu name, but with hyphens instead of spaces
// Make sure user has ability to manage plugin options
// my_plugin_options_page() is the function for what displays on the options page
add_options_page(
'My Plugin Settings Page',
'My Plugin',
'manage_options',
'my-plugin',
'my_plugin_options_page'
);
}
add_action( 'admin_menu', 'my_plugin_menu');
function my_plugin_options_page(){
echo "Welcome to my plugin settings page";
}
?>
Hope this helps!
