 * Hi there!
 * I want the option to logout, but whenever I insert the shortcode on a page the
   following text just appears: “You have been successfully logged out.” even when
   still on the edit-user page right after logging in.
 * Am I using the wrong shortcode, or do you have a solution?
 * Thanks in advance! 🙂

 * Hi smyrtue,
 * Are you putting the logout shortcode on the same page as another shortcode? You
   should have the logout shortcode on a page by itself. And then place a link on
   the other page that leads to the page with the logout shortcode on it. This way,
   you’ll get a new page load and the person will be logged out when they click 
   the link.
