I’m trying to use check_admin_referer()<\/code>. I’ve followed the example in the codex<\/a> and I believe I have everything set up correctly but I get a 403.<\/p>\n

Here’s the bare bones:
\n
\nclass StupidClass {
\n...
\n\tpublic function render_page(){
\n\t\t?>
\n\t\t\t<form action=\"\" id=\"stupid_form\" method=\"post\">
\n\t\t\t\t<?php wp_nonce_field('hello', 'token'); ?>
\n\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"hit me\">
\n\t\t\t<\/form>
\n\t\t<?php
\n\t}<\/p>\n

\tpublic function hello(){
\n\t\tcheck_admin_referer('hello', 'token');
\n\t\twp_die();
\n\t}
\n}
\n<\/code><\/p>\n

It works if I use check_admin_referer()<\/code> without arguments but that is no longer recommended. Is there anything obvious that I’ve missed?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-10085373","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/10085373","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/10085373\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10085373"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
