How to change the default logout link on WordPress Admin

I want to use another link for logout because I have /wp-admin/* protected with htpassword. Is there a way to do this? Something like creating a custom page like site.com/logout then use it as my new logout link?

Thanks!

    function wp_loginout( $redirect = '', $echo = true ) {
    if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) {
        $link = '<a href="' . esc_url( wp_login_url( $redirect ) ) . '">' . __( 'Log in' ) . '</a>';
    } else {
        $link = '<a href="' . esc_url( wp_logout_url( $redirect ) ) . '">' . __( 'Log out' ) . '</a>';
    }
 
    if ( $echo ) {
        /**
         * Filters the HTML output for the Log In/Log Out link.
         *
         * @since 1.5.0
         *
         * @param string $link The HTML link content.
         */
        echo apply_filters( 'loginout', $link );
    } else {
        /** This filter is documented in wp-includes/general-template.php */
        return apply_filters( 'loginout', $link );
    }
}

Displays a link, which allows users to navigate to the Log In page to log in or log out depending on whether they are currently logged in.


I found the solution here: https://www.kmbytes.com/wordpress-logout-redirect-filter/

And it is working great!

add_filter( 'logout_url', 'my_logout_url' );
function my_logout_url( $url ) {
    $redirect = home_url();
    return $url.'&redirect_to='.$redirect;
}

Cheers!


This worked for me redirecting to the home page:

add_action('wp_logout','unlog');

function unlog(){
  wp_redirect( site_url() );
  exit();
}

I think you should add rewrite rule in your htaccess file like this.

RewriteRule ^logout/(.*) /wp-login.php?action=logout&_wpnonce=$1 [QSA,L]

You can filter 'logout_url' and return a custom value if you are in the admin area:

add_filter( 'logout_url', 'wpse_58453_logout_url' );
function wpse_58453_logout_url( $default ) 
{
    // set your URL here
    return is_admin() ? 'http://example.com/custom' : $default;
}
