If you encounter any logout problems after customizing the logout path, follow these troubleshooting steps to identify and resolve the issues:

Incorrect custom path

Double-check the custom logout path you entered to ensure there are no typos, misspellings, or special characters that might be causing the problem.

Revert to Default Logout Path

If the issues persist, consider restoring WordPress’s default logout path. Go to WP Ghost > Change Paths > Login Security, remove the custom path from the Custom Logout Path, and save the settings.

Default Logout Path
Plugin/Theme conflicts

Temporarily deactivate other plugins related to login/logout functionality. If the problem disappears, a conflicting plugin or theme might be the culprit.

Permalink settings

Go to your WordPress dashboard, navigate to Settings > Permalinks, and click Save Changes to refresh the permalinks. This action can sometimes help resolve issues related to URL structures.

Save settings permalink
Relogin to admin

If you also changed the WordPress core paths, you need to log out and log in to your website to access the new admin path properly.

However, the root cause is often server configuration, especially if the rewrite rules haven’t been correctly applied. It’s essential to follow the instructions in WP Ghost according to your server type and ensure proper configuration.
