Exit message bug, "Exit without confirm" feature and more

juanstecno,

This page/message is not being created by WP User Control. WP User Control is not designed to create any logout confirmation. WP User Control uses the wp_logout_url() function, which is the correct way to handle the WP logout process. However, not all themes support it. I suspect the theme you are using is not updated to support this function, which is causing the confirmation page to display. To test whether the theme you are using supports the wp_logout_url() function, switch to one of the basic WP themes (Twenty Ten, Twenty Eleven, or Twenty Twelve) and repeat the same process to see if the logout confirmation page appears. WP User Control works fine with each of these basic themes. If the logout confirmation page does not display, then your theme is causing the issue.

Hello wmsedgar,
I was done the test you purpose, and the same screen appears. I was installed Twenty Twelve theme, and do the test with this theme all the time, and same thing happens.
I will try to explain the strange issue better:
-If I choose to go out from the administrator side (back side) with the plugin activated and the plugin widget in the sidebar installed, in the browser address bar shows:
‘https://***/wp-login.php?loggedout=true’ (‘***’ is the web site)
and screen displays the WP output normal window. It’s okay!
-But if I choose to go out from the user/visitor side (front side) using the exit option in the widget (I was previously logged in, of course), appears the blank (white) screen, and the browser address bar show:
‘https://***/wp-login.php?action=logout&redirect_to=%2F&_wpnonce=2d29e995f4’ (‘***’ is the same web site)
By reloading the (blank) page, the above confirmation message appears.
Removing the WP User Control widget in the sidebar and using the default WP login widget in place it does not happens (WPUC plugin activated).
I was done the same test with Internet Explorer 8 and Mozilla Firefox 17.0 and result it is exactly the same, so rule out a rare browser crash.
I think the theme isn’t the cause.
Greetings.

juanstecno,

Try disabling all of your other plugins one by one until you have only WP User Control activated using the Twenty Twelve theme. See if the issue remains. We have tested WP User Control many, many times on multiple servers using both WPMS and WP Standard and it has never created this issue. Based on the additional detail you supplied above it looks like the page redirect is not being correctly formed when you logout, which would explain why the browser is sent to a blank page. It is possible that another one of your plugins is hooked into the WP redirect filter and may be altering it.

Hi,
Done. After disable IDNA plugin, yours works without blank screen. It seems the confict, because with the other 15 plugin instaled and activated (yours included) the blank page don’t appears. But I was done another test. I was disabled all plugins, except WPUC. I noticed that if I put the cursor on the “exit” option widget, appears left below in the window browser the redirect ‘https://***/wp-login.php?action=logout&redirect_to=%2F&_wpnonce=2d29e995f4’ info text, so it seem is the plugin what do this redirection. Then, when ‘click’ on ‘exit’ don’t redirect to the WP standard exit screen or not existing page, remains in the same normal page before exiting.
If you want to check this, the web is HERE.
I don’t reactivate again any plugin except yours.
Greetings.
P.D.: Sorry for the nightmare!

hello Edgar,
I was done another thing. Only your plugin activated an antispam, I was mounted the two meta widgets (WP default and WPUC) on sidebar.
Please, register on the web and after done, access. Then you can check and see doing onmouseover in the 2 exit options, then 2 exiting redirection aren’t the same.
Regards.

juanstecno,

Thanks for the additional information. I registered and logged into your site via the WPUC widget to check it out. I then tested the “login” and “logout” processes with both the WPUC widget and the default WP widget. Everything appears to be working fine. You are correct that WPUC does request the page redirect after the user logs out of the site. This is what tells WP to send the user back to the same page they were on instead of sending them to the default WP login page after logout. You can see the difference when you logout from the standard WP widget, as it sends you to the default WP login page once you have logged out of the site.

I also looked at the IDNA plugin (which is quite old and doesn’t appear to be maintained any longer). Without reviewing the IDNA code in detail, I am sure that it is hooked into all WP functions that produce site URLs (including the redirect functions). I’m not sure why, but obviously there is a conflict and this is the reason the WPUC page redirect on logout was not working.

Bottom line is that you found the problem – the WPUC plugin does not work with the IDNA plugin. I’m not certain if you require IDN support or not. I searched for another WP plugin that implements IDN support and did not find any alternatives. Adding IDN support within WPUC does not look like a lot of effort, so I’m also going to add IDN support to the WPUC roadmap. Hopefully we’ll get it added into our next release.

Cheers.

Hello,
the site is an IDN (salobre?a), but WP don’t support it by default as far I know. This is the reason for install IDNA plugin. I don’t know similar.
Thanks for all your answers and support. If you are agree I will delete the account created.
And of course, I’m very interested in your plugin future updates.
Best regards.

juanstecno,

Yes, go ahead and delete the test user account I created on your site. We’ll keep you posted on future updates to WPUC.
