   Why does log out redirect to the log in screen? That's the last place you want to go when you log out. Why not redirect to the home page?

   I agree. Is there a (straightforward) way to change this?

   I'm working through this myself- try wp_logout-url

   I've found a solution - find

   $redirect_to = '

   wp-login.php?loggedout=true

   ';
   if ( isset( $_REQUEST['redirect_to'] ) )
   $redirect_to = $_REQUEST['redirect_to'];

   and modify to

   $redirect_to = '

   index.php

   ';
   if ( isset( $_REQUEST['redirect_to'] ) )
   $redirect_to = $_REQUEST['redirect_to'];

   in /wp-login.php

   logout will take visitors to the home page.

   That would be editing core code, and I strongly urge you to NEVER do that unless there is no other recourse. Never. Ever. :)

   Okay? Good.

   There's a function for this: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_logout_url

   Logout and Redirect to Current Page

   <a href="<?php echo wp_logout_url( get_permalink() ); ?>" title="Logout">Logout</a>

   Logout and Redirect to Homepage

   <a href="<?php echo wp_logout_url( get_bloginfo('url') ); ?>" title="Logout">Logout</a>

   Now this means you can't use the default meta widget, but if you have a php executable plugin tossed in, you can get really fancy:

   <p><?php wp_loginout( get_permalink() ); ?> | <?php wp_register('', ''); ?></p>

   And so on.
