# Users cannot logout problem

 * Encountered this problem.
 * Users cannot logout because there is a missing permalink parameter for the created
   logout page – example: [https://website.com/logout/?_wpnonce=c4cb350d27](https://website.com/logout/?_wpnonce=c4cb350d27)
 * The correct logout page parameters should be:
    [https://website.com/logout/?action=logout&_wpnonce=c4cb350d27](https://website.com/logout/?action=logout&_wpnonce=c4cb350d27)
 * The missing parameter is “action=logout&”
 * How to resolve this?

 * Yes, the logout page exist.
 * It was missing a parameter in the permalink. The missing parameter was “action
   =logout&”.

 * Is the Logout page the one created by the plugin? Or did you delete it and recreate
   it?

 * Same problem here. I had to delete the plugin and re-install v6 due to the changes
   in version 7 (not happy with that but this is not the place for that discussions).
 * When I deleted the plugin the login and logout pages were removed as were all
   my settings.
 * I installed the previous version and it re-created the Login and Logout pages
   and I had to go through all my settings again.
 * But now I cannot logout, either as a user or even as an administrator. The Permalink
   for this is [http://domainname.com/logout/?_wpnonce=35630e8fac](http://domainname.com/logout/?_wpnonce=35630e8fac)
 * This used to work so I’m not sure if it’s something that was changed when I updated
   the plugin and it went to version 7 (would have been nice to have some sort of
   warning regarding the drastic changes and that I would lose all the setups I 
   had, but again, not the place for this discussion).
 * So how to I fix this so I can logout?

 * Actually, now I can’t even login. It keeps redirecting me to the home page. The
   URL is [http://domainname.com/login/](http://domainname.com/login/) but it won’t
   go there.
 * I guess I have no choice now but to update to version 7 and lose all the functionality
   I had before unless I want to subscribe to the page redirection and themed profiles
   extensions.
 * I am definitely not happy about this. Please help me to resolve the issues with
   v6 otherwise I will have to join the others and leave a negative review for this
   once great plugin.

 * Refresh your permalinks.
