Logout redirection

[StudioBizz]

Hello,

When user logout, he his redirected to the site Homepage. How can we redirect him to a specific page ?

Thanks again 😉

**Bump** Looking for this exact solution. Have yet to dive into the code. Would rather have a scalable option (something in functions.php rather than hacking to plugin (for updating).

I’m using the custom logout URL you’ve provided and looking to send (redirect) the user to login page after logging out. Any takers?

I am ! If you can find a way to do this, it would be wonderful !

You can use the following tweak to do a custom redirection after the logout event.

Add the following code to your theme’s functions.php file and that should do the job:

add_action('swpm_logout', 'my_custom_after_logout_redirection');
function my_custom_after_logout_redirection()
{
    $url = 'http://www.example.com/after-logout-page';//TODO - Specify the URL that you want to redirect to
    wp_redirect($url);
}

You can add that code to a small custom plugin also (instead of your theme’s template file).

Hi Admin

I have used your ‘add_action’ in my child theme and also (as a test – in the parent theme) – it doesn’t work in either place. Has there been an improvement in this code since July?

Where is the original function managed, within the plugin? or can the logout URL be edited from the plugin admin interface?

Dumping users at the home page is a bit frustrating for users if I have messages and content at the login page which are useful for the user.

Hi Howard try adding the following line exit(); at the end. That should work because I carried out a test with and with out that line. It definitely works with that line added.

See the following code.

add_action('swpm_logout', 'my_custom_after_logout_redirection');
function my_custom_after_logout_redirection()
{
    $url = 'http://www.example.com/after-logout-page';//TODO - Specify the URL that you want to redirect to
    wp_redirect($url);
    exit();
}

My website has 3 languages. I use wpml plugin.
How can I redirect member to 3 languages index page respectively after logout?

Hi @sflosamuel, unfortunately at present there is no addon or integration with WPML plugin. If you are a developer, you might like to tweak the above code to improve the function to include other options when login out.

Or you can also request for paid support.
