Error in Logout (Details)

  • After checking the support forum I have noticed some people have a similar issue.

    I think I can describe you the problem in detail:

    Setup is Nginx server, I removed Varnish and all other Cache plugins that could cause issues (however after adding the login url as exclusion most of the plugin works)

    So what happens?

    Lets say I have a clear browser (empty browser cache + cookies)

    I go to site/wp-admin and I get the “Must log in message” This is correct
    I try wp-login.php and I get the correct 404 error
    I go to site/myloginurl and I get my login screen
    Use my credentials and I’m in the backend.

    Now, I log out.
    I am redirected to site/myloginurl/?logutstuffgoeshere.

    It would look That I correctly logged out

    I try site/myloginurl and I am asked for credentials once again

    However here is the problem:

    I go now to site/wp-admin/ and It takes me right away to the dashboard without asking for credentials!!!!

    After some experimenting I found out that after the logout if I go and clear my browser cache/cookies and try wp-admin I once again get the “must log in” error.

    So, clearly the logout process is not clearing something related to browser cache/cookies.

    I hope this helps finding out the problem!!!

  • I have experienced this on every single “rename login page” plugin. It seems stupid that this is just a “live with it” scenario.

    The problem seems to be that while renaming the “log in” entry point, the “log out” point is messed up. WordPress now ignores the GET parameter “action=logout” and simply presents you with the login page again.

    I tested this with about 8 different rename plugins and all do exactly the same thing. Either it’s simply impossible to implement proper logout functionality when the page is changed or something on my/your server is causing this problem.
