I replaced the code snippet like this

add_action('wp_login', 'PN_check', 10, 3);

function PN_check($user, $username, $password){
   ?>
    <div style="display:none" class="fancybox-hidden"><div id="popup" style="width: auto; padding: 5px">
    <?php
        global $wpdb;
        if(function_exists('sf_pm_tag')){
            wp_mail('me@home.de', 'PM_tag_Ex', print_r("sf_pm_tag() existiert!",TRUE));
        }
//        sf_pm_tag(TRUE, FALSE);
        $pm = sf_pm_tag(FALSE, FALSE);
        echo 'In Deinem Posteingang befinden sich '.$pm['count']. ' ungeöffnete Nachrichten';
        wp_mail('me@home.de', 'PM_tag2', print_r($pm,TRUE));     ?>
        <a href="<?php echo $pm['url'] ?>">Zum Posteingang</a>
<!--<a href="#" onclick="javascript:jQuery.fancybox.close();return false;">Close this window</a>-->
</div>
</div>
<a id="fancybox-auto" class="fancybox" href="#popup"></a>
<?php
}

The resut is: the function exists in this place but returns some invalid array content - the same as before mentioned.

I've tried the same in V5.1.2 with sp_pm_inbox() and it is exactly the same .function exists, array invalid.

Obviously, it is a problem of validity of data. Any idea where I can call the function with valid array return?

I try to use the 'wp_login' hook to present a message to the user that he/she has got PMs in the box. It works on a static call in a side template but does not respond proper Array under the hook. I do not get any error message.

I do the debugging via wp_mail() because this is a remote server and I get it printed. The response for $pm is in both cases V(4.5.1 and V5.1.2) the same:

Array

(

    [count] => -1

    [url] =>

)

The first debug email just returns a string to indicate that the function exists in this place. I also tested when the hook event takes place - it is at the end of log-in. The user should be logged in at this time. But with regards to your answer, it seems like this is not yet the case. As always, the WP reference description is not very clear with that.

But wouldn't that be a nice feature to add to the PM-Plugin. Many blog users do not necessarily go to the forum to check wether they have PM(s) or not. This way, the blog owner can make sure they do not miss any.

I was hoping to display it via a fancybox inline which is a popup window, anyhow.

But this does not seem to work and what I understand now is, that the user is not fully logged in at this moment and therefor the information for sp_pm_inbox() is not available at this place.

Then I 'll try it setting a globally availbale marker that a user has just logged in and call sp_pm_inbox() after redirection has ended on some page. Since the page template is always the same, this should give me the result I am looking for.

Thanks for clarifying.

But tell me one thing: where do you get your more detailled information about the hook from? Is there a second source? I am not very happy with the WP actions/filters reference. It is by far too short and not precise in what the hook or filter is doing - besides the huge number of undocumented items. I am always trapped in things not being completed or data not available. How can one know? Looking into the WP core code seem to be the only possibility.
