   I want to add the link logout at my sidebar menu.

   I have added (via Dashboard -> Links) the link 'Logout'. It used to work well when I used the link 'http://example.com/subfolder/wp-login.php?action=logout'. Not anymore since WordPress 2.7.
   'http://example.com/subfolder/wp-login.php' works fine to login.

   I am using a link widget (in my case BP Links+).

   Putting '">Logout' doesn't work here since I need to have a 'http://example.com/subfolder/....' link. At all others places at the website '">Logout' works well.

   What link do I need to use to make the logout work?

   No, this link doesn't do the actual logout. It just send me to the login page with the message that I have logged out.

   When I go back to the website and refresh with F5 I am still logged in...

   What could be another option?

   I'd be very interested in the answer to this also. Is there in fact a solution now that wp_logout_url has been implemented?

   you can try this one :

   <a href='<?php echo wp_logout_url(); ?>'>Logout</a>

   or you can add redirect option to your homepage :

   <a href='<?php echo wp_logout_url(); ?>&redirect_to=/'>Logout</a>

   i hope this help :)

   Sorry, it doesn't help. See the second post where I wrote: Putting <?php echo wp_logout_url(); ?> doesn't work here since I need to have a 'http://example.com/subfolder/....' link.

   Your solution doesn't start with http...

   Thanks for trying

   I have the same problem, too.

   The actual logout URL should be like

   http://www.domain.com/home/wp-login.php?action=logout&_wpnonce=0552b1e309

   , so the last part "wpnonce" seems to be missing calling wp_logout_url();

   Without it, the user SEEMS to be logged out, the redirect takes him (correctly?) to the login page, BUT the session is kept; if he go back to the site, for example opening a new tab, he will be still logged in.

   I'm using 2.7.1 and the function above.

   I didn't find a solution ...Anyone can help ?
