WordPress How to Build a WordPress Plugin Building WordPress Widgets, and Shortcodes WordPress Widgets Code Challenges

Code challenge step 4 [Wordpress Plugins - Widgets]

Hello, I have a problem with the challenge after the video "How to create WordPress Widgets".

I always type this in the function widget() :

extract( $args );

$title = apply_filters( "widget_title", $instance["title"] );

And I always have the message :

The first thing inside the widget method, use the extract function to make $args into local variables.

How can I do ? Thanks.

I am not sure but I think you're not creating a local version of a $args variable

I tried to assign a variable like

$args = extract($args);`

But it doesn't work either.
