# add_options_page Function

 * I’m am very lost. I have a premium membership at Tuts+ and my tutorial says to
   use the `add_options_page();` for my options page. I’ve also looked in the source
   and there lies the function. The codex also has this function being used to add
   options pages for WP-2.7 and later. Yet wordpress is failing saying that the 
   function does not exist? How the hell is this possible? 🙁
 * Can anyone help me? Here’s my code for reference.
 *     ```
       <?php
       /*
       Plugin Name: Sahfire Options
       Plugin URI: http://demosite.com
       Description: Options page for Sahfire WordPress Theme
       Version: 1.0
       Author: Bobby Ruby
       Author URI: http://rubyfiredesigns.com
       */
       function sahfire_theme_options(){ ?>
       	<h2>Hello</h2>
       <?php }
       add_action('admin_menu', sahfire_menu()); 
   
       function sahfire_menu() {
       	  add_options_page('Theme Options', 'Theme Options', 'administrator', __FILE__, sahfire_theme_options());
       }
       ?>
       ```

 * I’m pretty sure your issue is the how you’re calling the function in your action.
 * `add_action('admin_menu', sahfire_menu());`
 * should be
 * `add_action('admin_menu', 'sahfire_menu' );`
 * If that doesn’t fix it then give us all the debug output please.
