 * i am trying to create my own plugin that has an admin menu, according to codex
   it should look something like this:
 *     ```
       if (is_admin()) {
   
       	function vb_widget_admin_menu() {
   
       		add_options_page("vBulletin Widget", "vBulletin Widget", 1, "vBulletin Widget", "vb_widget_html_page");
       	}
   
       	add_action('admin_menu', 'vb_widget_admin_menu');
       }
       ```
   
 * i keep getting the error: when trying to access my admin page
    You do not have
   sufficient permissions to access this page.
 * ive tried taking away is_admin, i’ve tried changing 1 to administrator or 8.
 * any ideas?

 * Try this:
 *     ```
       function vb_widget_admin_menu() {
   
       add_options_page("vBulletin Widget", "vBulletin Widget", 1, "vBulletin Widget", "vb_widget_html_page");
   
       }
   
       if (is_admin()) {
   
       	add_action('admin_menu', 'vb_widget_admin_menu');
       }
       ```
   
 * That calls your function, if you are logged in as admin. In your code, the function
   was only created in that case.
