Logout not working

Hi lifespace,

Did deactivating those plugins work though?

Otherwise try clearing browser cache and revert to the default wordpress theme to see if the problem persists. You can also try using a different browser to view and logout your site.

Did these problems always occur or is this the very first time you are seeing the problem since installing wordpress?

Hi, thanks for your response. The problem persists with the default wordpress theme. De-activating plug-ins didn’t work though I am not sure that I trust my de-activating because I have multisites running and de-activating network wide seems to activate them in some sites. Another problem? But something I work around and doesn’t stop my site so I try to pretend its normal. One of the sites on the network is a “clean install” of wordpress with the default template running and no content and no plugins active but still does not work. Maybe just a logout php file somewhere to replace?

Do you have PolyLang active? This may be a contributing factor.

You can also try creating a separate login link rather than using the WP provided one to see if the logout is successful. OR create a separate logout link that goes to https://example.com/wp-login.php?loggedout=true

You can also view the documentation for the function here as well

Thank you! That was very helpful!

As it turns out, it was a plug-in that was creating custom logins when I de-activate it I can log-out but I can no longer register when it is de-activated. grrrr.
I will try to contact the support of that plugin. But the login link is very helpful and I forget to look at the codex (probably because I am not a developer and don’t usually understand it!) but this time it was helpful.
thanks again
