    Hello,

    I am customizing the menu and I want to add log out link, for example:

    add_filter( 'wp_nav_menu_items', 'add_loginout_link', 10, 2 );
function add_loginout_link( $items, $args ) {
    if (is_user_logged_in() && $args->theme_location == 'primary') {
        $items .= '<li><a href="'. wp_logout_url() .'">Log Out</a></li>';
    }
    elseif (!is_user_logged_in() && $args->theme_location == 'primary') {
        $items .= '<li><a href="'. site_url('wp-login.php') .'">Log In</a></li>';
    }
    return $items;
}

    I am not sure how to add log out url to the site. Please advice

    to display the logout link use this:

    <a href="<?php echo wp_logout_url(); ?>">Logout</a>

    Thank you for your reply. Would you please explain this in more details? Is this a function that is added to the functions.php?

    the function used here is

    wp_logout_url();

    this function is part of the wordpress core and can be placed anywhere in your site that you want to display the logout url. The code I gave you has several parts.

    1. first is the opening html anchor tag: <a href="
    2. then you have the opening php tag: <?php
    3. then we are echoing the logout url: echo wp_logout_url();
    4. followed by the closing php tag and the anchor label and closing anchor tag: ?>">Logout</a>

    Hope that helps
