Logout of WordPress without confirmation message

functions.php

function getLogoutUrl($redirectUrl = ''){
    if(!$redirectUrl) $redirectUrl = site_url();
    $return = str_replace("&", '&', wp_logout_url($redirectUrl));
    return $return;
}

/**
 * Bypass logout confirmation on nonce verification failure
 */
function logout_without_confirmation($action, $result){
    if(!$result && ($action == 'log-out')){ 
        wp_safe_redirect(getLogoutUrl()); 
        exit(); 
    }
}
add_action( 'check_admin_referer', 'logout_without_confirmation', 1, 2);

What do you have to edit in the code to make it work? Can someone please explain it.

Just go to your Appearance >> Theme editor >> Function.php file. And End of that file simply paste the above code

You can add the code into the functions.php file of the child theme, use a plugin like Code Snippets or add the code into a site-specific plugin.

Hi Luke,

The code is very much working for me, except that it is not detecting the redirect_to URL as mentioned in the Logout URL, for e.g., /wp-login.php?action=logout&redirect_to=/login/

No matter whatever value I provide in redirect_to, I am always redirected to the homepage.

Can you please sort it out?

Thanks in advance.

Perfect for me! (youpage.com/wp-login.php?action=logout)

/**

• Generates custom logout URL
  */
  function getLogoutUrl($redirectUrl = ''){
  if(!$redirectUrl) $redirectUrl = site_url();
  $return = str_replace("&", '&', wp_logout_url($redirectUrl));
  return $return;
  }

/**

• Bypass logout confirmation on nonce verification failure
  */
  function logout_without_confirmation($action, $result){
  if(!$result && ($action == 'log-out')){
  wp_safe_redirect(getLogoutUrl());
  exit();
  }
  }
  add_action( 'check_admin_referer', 'logout_without_confirmation', 1, 2);

Below code worked fine for me

/**
 * Generates custom logout URL
 */
function getLogoutUrl($redirectUrl = ''){
    if(!$redirectUrl) $redirectUrl = site_url();
    $return = str_replace("&", '&', wp_logout_url($redirectUrl));
    return $return;
}

/**
 * Bypass logout confirmation on nonce verification failure
 */
function logout_without_confirmation($action, $result){
    if(!$result && ($action == 'log-out')){ 
        wp_safe_redirect(getLogoutUrl()); 
        exit(); 
    }
}
add_action( 'check_admin_referer', 'logout_without_confirmation', 1, 2);

Tried this yesterday. Worked for me. Thanks!
