Fixed issue with "Page Not Found" error on Logout

    I have WordPress installed in it’s own folder and not a root install. I had found that when turning on “hide the backend”, every time I logged out I would get a “Page Not Found, perhaps searching for it may help” with a search box.

    I noticed that the URL being sent was mysite URL WITHOUT the wordpress folder. That is of course the reason wp-login.php could not be found! This was my solution:

    I FTPed into my server and edited the .htaccess file inside the WordPress folder where all the rewrite rules are and changed the RewriteRule statements that mentioned wp-login.php to ADD my folder. I made changes to 5 lines of code total. After saving the file, I confirmed that now I was no longer getting the “Page Not Found” error on logout.

    It seems like the code to rewite HTACCESS is retrieving the SITE ADDRESS URL and not the WORDPRESS ADDRESS URL. The proper variable call should be WP_SITEURL and not WP_HOME. Perhaps this is the issue?

  • Hello mate,
    I have the same problem, only diference for me is logging in instead logging out.

    I can’t login to my wp admin dashboard.. at all, and I suspect at .htaccess file – this solution looks reasonable, and I hope that will work for me.

    do you know how to resolve this.. I had this problem earlier and my login slug, has worked a while, but now again don’t

    I FTPed into my server and edited the .htaccess file inside the WordPress folder where all the rewrite rules are and changed the RewriteRule statements that mentioned wp-login.php to ADD my folder.

    how to ADD my folder? What variable?

    I made changes to 5 lines of code total. After saving the file, I confirmed that now I was no longer getting the “Page Not Found” error on logout.

    ..what changes do you made in .htaccess ? You said 5 lines.. ex. RewriteRule ^mycustomslug/?$ /wp-login.php?skksdksfnjdfhbdhsdgvsgvf&redirect_to=/wp-admin/ [R,L] ..

    sorry, but I can’t find way to fix this. Please, can you be more specific about this, it can really help me?

    Thanks
