Logout not working

In investigating this problem, I set the usersWP logout redirect page to another page, say the “about” page, to see what happened. The results were odd.

If I try to logout when logged in, the logout page doesn’t logout and still redirects to the home page (rather than the “about” page I set it to).
If I go to the logout page when logged out, I see the correct WP “are you sure you wish to logout?” page, and then it redirects correctly to the “about” page, as set in usersWP.

Not sure whether this comes from a usersWP issue or not. Any ideas would be much appreciated!

Thanks for your reply 🙂

It’s a really weird problem- it’s now doing different things. Before the problem started I used the logout page https://www.barn-door.co.uk/logout which didn’t go to the WP “do you wish to logout page?” but did log the user out.

When that stopped working I also tried creating a page with URL http://barn-door.co.uk/wp-login.php?action=logout.

Sometimes https://www.barn-door.co.uk/logout works, but sometimes not. The other, http://barn-door.co.uk/wp-login.php?action=logout, either goes to the WP admin login page, or to the home page.

Neither is currently redirecting to the “about” page set in usersWP, either for logged in or logged out users.

Hi Patrik,

Sorry for bothering you with this- it turned out to be a WP problem rather than a usersWP problem. The issue stemmed from writing http: rather than https: in my logout link. The wp_safe_redirect in wp-login.php was treating this as an external page and hence either redirecting to WP admin login page, WP admin, or the home page, seemingly randomly. The problem is fixed now though.
