Adding the Logout Link in WordPress Navigation Menus
Adding the WordPress logout link in your site’s navigation menu will make it easily accessible from any page on your website.
Simply head over to the Appearance » Menus page in your WordPress admin. After that, you need to click on the custom links tab to expand it and the the logout link in the URL field.
Once you are done, click on the ‘Add to menu’ button, and you will notice the link appear in the right column. You can adjust its position by simply dragging it up or down.
Don’t forget to click on the ‘Save Menu’ button to store your changes.
You can now visit your website to see the logout link in your navigation menu.
The problem with adding the logout link in menu is that it is visible to all users (both logged-in and logged-out). It only makes sense to show the logout link to users who are actually logged in.
You can do that by following our instructions on how to show different menus to logged in users.
Add WordPress Logout Link in the Sidebar Widget
WordPress comes with a default widget called Meta. This widget shows a bunch of useful links including a logout or login link to users.
Some people find the other links in the Meta widget are not quite as useful.
As an alternate, you can also add a plain text or custom HTML widget with the logout link in plain HTML. Here is the HTML code you’ll need to add:
<a href="http://example.com/wp-login.php?action=logout">Logout</a>
