hook_user_insert() can only be implemented in a module, not a theme. Themes are just for styling/marking up content that modules produce, they shouldn't contain advanced logic like that.

You'll need to add a custom module and implement the hook in there to continue.

  • exactly - whatever the machine name of your module is, that's the prefix for the hook. So if the module's .info file is "foo.module", your hook names will be prefixed by foo_
