Title: Can't Logout 404 Error Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Can't Logout 404 Error * [JxnGraphix](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kcjson15/) * (@kcjson15) * [11 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-logout-404-error/) * I can’t logout of my WP site and I can’t access wp-admin to login to my site. I currently have UserPro installed. I use the UserPro login widget to login to the site. Logging out results in “404 Not Found – NO RESULTS FOUND The page you requested could not be found. Try refining your search, or use the navigation above to locate the post”. * **Logging out from the backend** results in the following in the address bar: [http://dphiu.com/wp-login.php?action=logout&redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fdphiu.com%2Fwelcome-to-mydelta%2F&_wpnonce=2d0e3c86eb](http://dphiu.com/wp-login.php?action=logout&redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fdphiu.com%2Fwelcome-to-mydelta%2F&_wpnonce=2d0e3c86eb) * **Logging out from the frontend** results in the following in the address bar: [http://dphiu.com/wp-login.php?action=logout&_wpnonce=2d0e3c86eb](http://dphiu.com/wp-login.php?action=logout&_wpnonce=2d0e3c86eb) * I have tried uninstalling all plugins and switching to the Twenty Fourteen theme and the issues remain. * At one time I enabled the panic key settings in UserPro which required a specific URL to access the wp-admin. It briefly worked properly. It has been disabled. * I also edited the .htaccess file to only allow specific IP addresses to access the wp-admin. This has also been disabled. * Any help would be greatly appreciated! * WP: 3.9.1 Theme: Elegant Themes – Nova Website: dphiu.com Login/Logout Page: dphiu.com/welcome-to-mydelta/ Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) * Thread Starter [JxnGraphix](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kcjson15/) * (@kcjson15) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-logout-404-error/#post-5113341) * I was told that this is the place to go for WordPress support and that the response would be timely.

I disabled all plugins and switched to a WP theme and the problem still exists. I can only assume that there is no resolution for this error. * Moderator [Jan Dembowski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jdembowski/) * (@jdembowski) * Forum Moderator and Brute Squad * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-logout-404-error/#post-5113353) * > This is definitely a WP issue.

At the moment the site is running this theme. * [http://dphiu.com/wp-content/themes/Nova-child/style.css](http://dphiu.com/wp-content/themes/Nova-child/style.css) * Which is a child theme of * [http://dphiu.com/wp-content/themes/Nova/style.css](http://dphiu.com/wp-content/themes/Nova/style.css) * Or this theme. * [http://www.elegantthemes.com/gallery/nova/](http://www.elegantthemes.com/gallery/nova/) * Apparently you also have at least these plugins activated. * ``` wp-content/plugins/easy-fancybox/ wp-content/plugins/easy-twitter-feed-widget/ wp-content/plugins/elegantbuilder/ wp-content/plugins/force-image-download/ wp-content/plugins/media-grid/ wp-content/plugins/userpro/ wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/ ``` * Try these steps again: 1. Switch to the Twenty Fourteen theme 2. Deactivate all of your plugins, no exceptions 3. Clear your browser’s cache and cookies 4. Login to your installation via this link [http://dphiu.com/wp-admin/](http://dphiu.com/wp-admin/) 5. Logout using the link in the Logout menu item in the top right * If that works for you then you can re-activate your plugins and theme one at a time and see if the problem comes back. * [Clayton James](https://wordpress.org/support/users/claytonjames/) * (@claytonjames) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-logout-404-error/#post-5113354) * > This is definitely a WP issue… * I doubt that to be the case. * It’s most likely a by-product of a plugin or theme you’ve already mentioned, or alterations in .htaccess files, something initiated by a plugin, the non-standard redirect you have setup for wp-login.php, etc… * > I was told that this is the place to go for WordPress support and that the > response would be timely. * You probably haven’t had any responses because the theme and plugin you mention both appear to be commercial items. * Commercial themes and plugins aren’t supported here, and the issue most probably isn’t being caused by WordPress itself, so… that’s likely to be why there has been no response. * [Clayton James](https://wordpress.org/support/users/claytonjames/) * (@claytonjames) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-logout-404-error/#post-5113355) * …and what [@jan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jan/) Dembowski said! 🙂 * Thread Starter [JxnGraphix](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kcjson15/) * (@kcjson15) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-logout-404-error/#post-5113356) * As I previously stated, I **did** troubleshoot the problem by disabling **ALL** plugins **and** disabling the current theme. After doing so, the errors were still present and the same URLs were seen when attempting to logout. * [Clayton James](https://wordpress.org/support/users/claytonjames/) * (@claytonjames) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-logout-404-error/#post-5113357) * I suppose the most immediate suspect, and maybe the first most likely place to investigate in depth, might be whatever plugin or .htaccess edit you are using to change your login page from /wp-login.php to `http://dphiu.com/welcome-to- mydelta/`. * Thread Starter [JxnGraphix](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kcjson15/) * (@kcjson15) * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-logout-404-error/#post-5113358) * That’s what I presumed as well. I spoke with the plugin developers already. That is why I am here. During their trouble shooting they tried disabling everything as well and the problem continued. * The .htaccess was edited initially then edited again to its original WP settings. * Moderator [Jan Dembowski](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jdembowski/) * (@jdembowski) * Forum Moderator and Brute Squad * [11 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-logout-404-error/#post-5113359) * > The .htaccess was edited initially then edited again to its original WP settings. * If it is a `.htaccess` issue then consider renaming the file to `.htaccess-old` and see if that helps resolve the problem for you. * Thread Starter [JxnGraphix](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kcjson15/) * (@kcjson15) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-logout-404-error/#post-5113367) * The logout function is now working properly. Thank you for your help Jan! Changing the name of the .htaccess file proved that this is where the issue stemmed. I replaced the old .htaccess code with the Basic WP .htaccess code from here: [ and now all is well. The site is still really slow but that’s a whole other issue.
