 * Hi,
 * When I try this code, the function won’t get loaded. At least I don’t get the
   echo message. How comes?
 *     ```
       function custom_login() {
       	$creds = array( 'user_login' =>  $_POST['benutzername'], 'user_password' => $_POST['passwort'], 'remember' => true );
       	$user = wp_signon( $creds, false );
       	if ( is_wp_error($user) ): echo $user->get_error_message(); endif;
       	wp_set_current_user($user->ID);
       	echo '<h1>HELLO</h1>';
       }
       add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'custom_login' );
       ```

 * I think the after_setup_theme is happening well before any browser output occurs,
   so you won’t see the output echo.
 * For a try just to confirm your code is run, try get_footer instead …
 * Also see the [plugin API action reference](http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Action_Reference)
