   Hi,

   I'm working with a multisite installation, and every time a user logs out, they're redirected back to the primary homepage. So, if our primary domain is http://example.com, and I'm on http://subsite.example.com/wp-admin, and logout, I end up at http://example.com. I'd prefer to redirect users to the homepage of their own site (http://subsite.example.com), but I can't seem to find a way to make that happen. Suggestions, please? I'm mostly a theme developer, so this is a little over my head.

   Thanks!

   If they log out from the front end, try this: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/why-does-log-out-redirect-to-the-log-in-screen?replies=6#post-1504503

   If you want to change it from the admin section, read this: http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/11807/change-admin-logout-url

   Thanks for the quick reply! I'm trying to change it from the admin section (at least for now), so I tried the suggestion in the stack exchange link. I added
   

   add_filter('logout_url', 'logout_redirect'); 
   
   function logout_redirect($logout_url, $redirect) {
   return site_url();
   } // function

   to my functions.php file. And it certainly redirects to the subsite. But it no longer logs out -- the logout link itself in the Dashboard is just http://subsite.example.com, without any logout steps.

   I don't quite understand the Apache mod_rewrite stuff, or what I'm meant to do with return apply_filters('logout_url', $logout_url, $redirect);

   Yeah, you have to pass wp-login.php?action=logout&_wpnonce=[nonce]&redirect... I think.

   It'll need some playing.

   Thanks. I've tried:

   add_filter('logout_url', 'logout_redirect'); 
   
   function logout_redirect($logout_url, $redirect) {
   return $logout_url."&redirect=".site_url();
   }

   and while the logout URL looks ok (http://subsite.example.com/wp-login.php?action=logout&_wpnonce=nonce&redirect=http://subsite.example.com), I still end up on http://example.com after clicking the logout link. Which is just baffling to me... shouldn't it redirect to the value of the redirect GET variable?
