Adding a logout link to a menu in WordPress is not as easy as it sounds, as the WordPress logout URL is customised for each user. The logout URL has a “nonce” parameter which is unique to the logged in user. If the “nonce” is incorrect then the user will be redirected to a “Are you sure you want to do this?” page.<\/p>\n

Therefore, we need to dynamically generate logout links<\/strong>, unique to the current user. This is possible using the Replacements functionality in Max Mega Menu Pro.<\/p>\n

Step 1:<\/h3>\n

Create a new Custom Link item and add it to the menu:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The URL is not important, we’ll use the replacements functionality to swap out the URL with a customised logout link further on.<\/p>\n

Step 2:<\/h3>\n

Once you’ve added the item to the menu, save the menu, then hover over the “Logout” item and click the blue Mega Menu button. Click the “Replacements” tab.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Set the Mode to “Replace the menu item URL”.<\/li>\n
  2. Set the HTML to:
    \nhttps:\/\/www.megamenu.com\/wp-login.php?action=logout&redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.megamenu.com&_wpnonce=264cf8b9c7<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Click “Save Changes”.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Making sure the Logout item is only visible to Logged in users<\/h3>\n

    Click the “Roles” tab and set the Display Mode to “Logged in users” and Save.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    You’ll now have a dynamic logout link inside your menu, which is only visible to logged in users.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
