i understand we’re saving info to the db, but only wp_options db. My plugin is created a new table, and I want to save my info from the text input to a brand new table I’ve created when the plugin was installed. Tips on how to do this?

Found the missing instructions:

delete the init line

replace echo “Hello World”;

with echo get_option(‘hello_world_data’);

That will show your options data wherever you want to display it will not give you the headers error.

If you comment the echo, then nothing appears on the page…

I’m getting this same error and I’m really confused. It appears there were some steps left out of the tutorial. For instance, if the plugin is supposed to display whatever someone types in the hello_world_data field, then when do we change the echo code to pull the data from that field? I’ve tried modifying this code several different ways and all I get it errors.

Nice article. It would have been cool if you had a few links on releasing information too. Another issue to discuss is that of licensing. A relevant article:

“Init” will be executed before everything else.
so, there is an echo “Hello World” inside the function which is called by init.
You need to comment that echo when you are writing the code for plugin activate or deactivate. I faced the similar error but not the same as the exact one. I hope it works.
