Howdy!

If you’ve already deactivated all plugins but WooCommerce and switched to the Twenty Seventeen theme, my guess here would be that this is an issue with caching.

Looks like the staging site is hosted by Siteground, so I’d suggest contacting them and having them check for any caching issues.

Also, make sure the My Account page/section (as well as the cart and checkout pages) is being excluded from any cache settings.

One more thing, WooCommerce is not compatible with Cloudflare Flexible SSL, as mentioned at the bottom of their SSL FAQ page here: https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/ssl-faq/#section-10 – are you using that option by chance?

I’d start there, and let us know how that goes!

Thanks. The only caching set up is a static cache (although I don’t know if staging is cached in any case). I disabled that in cpanel, cleared cookies+cache on the browser again, even opened a new browser tab, but no luck. ?? Puzzling.

I investigated the Cloudflare settings. Flexible SSL was on, so I turned it off. Also purged the Cloudflare cache, set it to development mode, and played with Cloudflare caching level (basic, simple, aggressive). Nothing I did changed the behavior.

Hi Jim,

Since this is a case that involves credentials to check I am afraid there is not much we can do via this public forum.

But we can always check the error logs.
Can you request the PHP error log and attach them here to your next reply. A maximum of the last 10 entries will do.
WooCommerce also attempts to log any fatal errors. You can find these under WooCommerce > Status >> Logs (click on the tab).

It now appears this was some kind of staging/database issue. When we pushed staging to live, the site was redirecting back to staging. The host support cleaned out the staging URLs wherever they were stored, and now I can log out normally.

Sorry for the hassle.

I have a similar issue. When a customer logs into the site via the credential fields on the “My Account” page, they can log in, but they cannot log out. They get to an “Are you sure you want to logout” page. After clicking the link on that page, they are redirected to the homepage, but if they click the “My Account” link, it takes them to their account as if they are still logged in (never seeing the login credential fields a second time after logging out). My support team at my host, WP Engine, wrote the below message. Hoping a Woocommerce expert can direct me and my WP Engine support team on what to do next:

***

After further review, we were able to identify the cause of the issue. Something within WooCommerce appears to be generating a nonce that does not match the nonce generated by WordPress. Once the logout redirect takes place, the request 403s, and the rest of the logout function is unable to process.

At this point, it may be worth reaching out to WooCommerce to see what can be done to ensure the nonce being generated can verify. We do have the _wpnonce argument excluded from caching. We have also verified that WordPress core has no edits and verifies against the checksums. It may be a configuration issue within Woo itself or a companion plugin.

***

I should add, the site in question is: https://n1critical.com/my-account

@mheinen1critical it looks like you fixed the issue. Can you let us know what the solution was in the end?

THanks!

Hello,
I am having the same issue with the logout link not going to a logout page. Just redirects to the My Account page. Any idea on how to fix this would be appreciated.

I’m also having this same issue. I’m on WP Engine and a Multisite.

The same problem with all plugins besides WooCommerce deactivated and with a default 2017 theme active.

same here,
on multisite and having completely the same problem. customer just can’t logout from my-account

anyone has a solution for this?

Howdy @jamestryon & @fransing!

Since this is already a Resolved thread and the original poster did not have a multisite, can you please create a new support thread? Once you do that, we’ll work with you there. Thanks!
