wp-members – logout in second language not working

    Hi,

    I’ve been fighting with the following problem for a few days now.

    I am developing a multilingual homepage, in two languages (German and Italian), using the plugin qtranslate.

    Now I’ve chosen wp-members for building up a simple member area.

    On one page I placed the shortcode [wp-members page=”login”].
    The login is working perfectly in both languages.

    The logout works fine with the first language (German) . After clicking on “logout” the front page https://mydomain/name_frontpage is opened.

    With the second language (Italian), when clicking on “logout” the message “page not found” appears.
    In this case WordPress does not select – as one would expect – the Italian version of the page, i.e. https://mydomain/name_frontpage/?lang=it as I would expect but
    https://mydomain/pagename/?lang=it?a=logout
    This page can’t obviously be found because the URL of the page (where the above mentioned login-shortcode is placed) would be https://mydomain/pagename/?lang=it
    (N.B. It’s the a=logout, which makes the difference.

    Can anybody help me?

    S

    P.S. I also tried to redirect to another page. The problem remains the same: With the first language everything works, with the second language not.

    I’ll try again as there hasn’t been any feedback so far:

    I’ve installed the multilingual plugin qtranslate and my login/logout-page has (as typical for qtranslate) two different slugs for each language.

    The logout from the German slug
    https://www.mydomain/GermanPageName/?a=logout
    works.

    The logout from the Italian slug
    https://www.mydomain/ItalianPageName/?lang=it?a=logout
    doesn’t work (message “page not found”).

    Can anybody help me, also with just giving me an advice of where to go to search?

    Best Regards

    Basically, the plugin appends an query string to the URL for logging out. However, in this case, there is already a querystring in the URL that the plugin is unaware of, so it is actually creating an invalid URL (it needs an “&” where the “?” is).

    This can be resolved with the wpmem_logout_link filter, which allows you to filter the logout link. You could do this a number of ways:

    add_filter( 'wpmem_logout_link', 'my_logout_link' );
function my_logout_link( $string ) {
	return 'https://mydomain.com/?a=logout';
}

    That’s the simplest solution. A more complex but more elegant approach would be to remove the logout querystring, check to see if the remaining string contains a querystring (with “?”), and if so add the logout back with “&”, otherwise return the original logout link:

    add_filter( 'wpmem_logout_link', 'my_logout_link' );
function my_logout_link( $string ) {
	$str_chk = substr( $string, 0, -9 );
	if( strpos( $str_chk, '?' ) !== false ) {
		return $str_chk . '&a=logout';
	} else {
		return $string;
	}
}

    Those aren’t necessarily the only possibilities.
