Create logout link in WordPress

Rumi, January 11, 2011

To create your own proper WordPress logout (or sign out) link, you need PHP.

 

PHP

Default usage

<a href="<?php echo wp_logout_url(); ?>" title="Logout">Logout</a> 

Logout and Redirect to Current Page

<a href="<?php echo wp_logout_url( get_permalink() ); ?>" title="Logout">Logout</a> 

Logout and Redirect to Homepage

<a href="<?php echo wp_logout_url( get_bloginfo('url') ); ?>" title="Logout">Logout</a>
 
See
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_logout_url
 
Plain HTML
If you are in an iframe, you can use this hack to read the href
 
<a id="my_signout" href="/wp-login.php?action=logout" target="_top">Sign out</a>


<script type="text/javascript">if (-1 < parent.document.body.innerHTML.search(/href="([^"]+)" title="Log out/)) document.getElementById('my_signout').href=RegExp.$1.replace(/&amp;/g, '&');</script>
 
 
"Sign out" link in menu
To add "Sign out" into the menu, add to footer.php

  // replace with your "Sign out" menu id

  var ae, e = document.getElementById('menu-item-722');


  if (e)

  {

    ae = e.getElementsByTagName('a');


    if (ae)

    {

      e = ae[0];


      if (e)

      {

         e.href = '<?php echo wp_logout_url(); ?>'.replace(/&amp;/g, '&');

      }

    }

  }
