   When I use current_user_can() in the __construct function in my plugin I'll get this error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp_get_current_user() in C:\Inetpub\WP\wp-includes\capabilities.php on line 969

   class myPlugin {
       public function __construct() {
           if(current_user_can('manage_options'))
           add_action("publish_post",array(&$this,'save_post_form'));
       }
   }

   Is it not possible to run the current_user_can() in the __construct-funktion?

   I just ran into the same problem today. Seems this function is not working in the latest WP version (2.9.2)

   You cannot run this on the plugin load. I think you are instantiating the class as soon as the plugin loads.

   wp_get_current_user() is a pluggable function. This means that can be replaced by plugins. Because of that, this functions library is only available after plugins are loaded.

   Try calling it on the 'plugins_loaded' action hook:

   class myPlugin {
     public function __construct () {
       add_action('plugins_loaded', array($this, 'pluginInit');
     }
   
     public function pluginInit () {
       if(current_user_can('manage_options'))
         add_action("publish_post",array(&$this,'save_post_form'));
     }
   }
