Bad Redirect on logout

    Hi
    When attempting to comment on a post, a line appears “Logged in as [username] Log out?”
    If you click on the logout link, you get a bad redirect (image1). This should just be a straight logout with no redirect.

    This messes up the front end login page which in my case

      should have no user accessible content

    other than the login form ie I use a full width template with no sidebar so what it should go to is (image2).

    What it does is some weird combination which leaves the sidebar visible and breaks the page security (image3).

    I could possibly workaround this issue if you could tell me how to prevent the “Logged in as…” text from displaying on the form. It seems pretty pointless having it there anyway.

    Ok, so I searched for the ‘Logged in as…’ string in ExpressionWeb and found it in ‘includes/comment-template.php’

    I know nothing about php (Am a SQL developer) but I found this bit of code:
    [a href=”%1$s”>Logged in as %3$s[/a]. [a href=”%4$s”>Log out?[/a]

    I made a backup of the comment-template.php file and removed the logout href [a href=”%4$s”>Log out?[/a]

    Seemed to fix it (Get rid of it). However, I don’t know what other knock-on damage I may have caused. I have a backup, so I guess time will tell.

    Hi mpbaweb,

    Glad to help, but the “logged in as..” text is something that is handled by WP, so it’s not anything that the plugin is doing. Hopefully you found a solution that doesn’t involve hacking the WP core, which is not recommended.
