What's wrong with this code?

Getting deep. I have no idea if I'm even close on this one. Not sure I have enough info to follow exercise. Any ideas?

plugin.php 
<?php

function my_plugin_options_page() {

    if (!current_user_can('manage_options')) {
        wp_die('You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.');
    }

  if( isset( $_POST['my_plugin_hidden_field'])) {

    $hidden_field = esc_html( $_POST['my_plugin_hidden_field']);

        if( $hidden_field == 'Y') {

          $madeup_username = esc_html( $_POST['madeup_username']);

          echo $madeup_username;

    }
  }

?>

Hi Zander,

You're on the right lines but I think you may be adding more than required for the challenge.

I have the following as the final code for the challenge if that helps:

<?php

function my_plugin_options_page() {

    if (!current_user_can('manage_options')) {
        wp_die('You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.');
    }

  if(isset($_POST['my_plugin_hidden_field'])){

    $my_plugin_username = esc_html($_POST['my_plugin_username']);

  }

  require('includes/page-wrapper.php');


}

?>
