wp_update_user creates an error

[iamklaus]

See my code below. Having buddypress activated, calling the function wp_update_user within the hook "after_setup_theme" throws an error:

The sql functions being executed by this functions are missing the database table name.
Here is the code I am using inside the functions.php from my plugin:

<?php
<?php
add_action('after_setup_theme', 'ad_sso_login');
function ad_sso_login () {

    $user_id = 6;
    $website = 'http://wordpress.org';

    $user_id = wp_update_user( array( 'ID' => $user_id, 'user_url' => $website ) );

    if ( is_wp_error( $user_id ) ) {
        echo "There was an error, probably that user doesn't exist.";
    } else {
        echo "Success!";
    }
}

Your ad_sso_login() runs very early.

Why do you need to run your function on 'after_setup_theme'? All you are doing is updating the URL for a particular user. You should run your function later on 'wp_loaded' or later when you know that all of WordPress, the current theme and all plugins are loaded.

Closing as invalid.

The function above is just a showcase for describing the problem. In my real application I do a automatic login (wp_login()) and update some user information which I gather from the Active Directoy.

Therefore my Apache uses mod_kerberos to the the clients credentials ( it's a intranet application) and does an automatic login.

Is there a way to fix this?

When are you running your auto-login hook? Or what hook are you running your code at? That's important and is most likely causing your problem.
