I just tried out the nightly build. I really am displeased with what they are doing with the gray admin bar, but I personally don’t have time to be involved in core WP development right now.

In the gray admin bar, even with the latest nightly build, I still have to maneuver through a drop down menu to logout. Totally annoying to me. I just want to be able to move my pointer up and click.

With 3.3 it appears that “Screen Options” and “Help” are now integrated into the gray admin bar, so unless I write another plugin to restyle it or replace the admin bar completely with something nicer, it’s unfortunately there with 3.3. Since the plugin functions as an overlaying block and doesn’t even involve touching the gray admin bar, as I integrated it in 3.2, it appears to be a simple styling alteration to make it fit the look of 3.3. So it shouldn’t be a problem. I’ll just update the plugin when 3.3 comes out.

Thank you for the heads up!

My very first plugin is uploaded!!!!

http://ww.wp.xz.cn/extend/plugins/one-click-logout/

I did a multisite test of it and it’s really only good for single site installations, but I made a note of that on the info page. If I do any future releases, I suppose I can work on that, but for now, it works.

Thank you sooo much Ipstenu, and the rest, for you help! (and the suggestion to make it a real plugin!) 🙂

Okay, I couldn’t find any way around it except to alter the WordPress core, but, but, but…. I found a different way to have a function/plugin for it:

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: One Click Logout
*/

function newlogout() {
?>

<div style="float:right;z-index:100;position:absolute;right:0px;top:0px;background:white;padding:8px 30px 5px 100px;border:0px;">
Howdy, 

<?php
    wp_get_current_user();
	$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
	if ( !($current_user instanceof WP_User) )
	return;
    echo ' ' . $current_user->user_login . ' ';
 ?> 

 -- <?php echo '<a href="' . wp_logout_url() . '" title="' . esc_attr__('Log Out') . '">' . __('Log Out') . '</a>'; ?>

</div>

<?php
}
add_action( 'in_admin_header', 'newlogout' );

?>

Since the css couldn’t allow it to be customized to be a one click logout, and as an alternative to altering the WordPress core, I just completely covered over it! Also, I couldn’t seem force the old logout to completely disappear with a function either, so the above was my solution. It simply places a z-indexed, absolutely positioned, div, immediately visually “pasted” over the old logout. This way, it just sweeps the entire problem under the rug and with a very simple, clean, html, one click logout in it’s place. Yay!!!!

Zen is returning to my Dashboard.

You said: “It may add clutter, but it is the direction WP is headed with things.”

Wow, WordPress is going in the direction of MORE CLUTTER. Actually, that doesn’t sound very good at all. Maybe you should discuss this more before you head more in that direction, dragging the rest of us into WordPress clutterland. lol. Or perhaps that is the nature of it, if WP doesn’t evolve really well, there’ll be more core hacking and plugin writing to compensate.

Maybe what I’m trying to say is, if you do alter things dramatically, with more clutter or otherwise, I would appreciate it if the dev. team made it easier to customize the backend logout, or just to restore it to a very simple one click logout, the code changes of which appear quite tiny to me.

Thank you! 🙂
