write plug in to check if the code 'My_......' field has been submitted.

The message I'm getting back says there'e something wrong with line 18. What's wrong with it? I'm closing the php section with ?>

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.');

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

        if( $hidden_field == 'Y' ) {

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

            echo $wptreehouse_username;

            }   

?>

Hi Sarah,

It looks like you're missing some closing curly braces. The first if statement isn't closed, and the function itself isn't closed. Once you put those in place, it should work fine, provided the rest of the code is written correctly.

I thank you for trying to help me, Ryan. But I did this and received a message back stating that I need to place 'issit' somewhere.
You tried. I tried. But it's still wrong and missing one word. Where to place it? What to do now?
