There are 3 shortcodes that can be used:
<pre><code>[logout] - A standard Log Out link, where the user stays on the login screen after being logged out.
[logout_to_home] - A link that logs the user out, and redirects them to your home page.
[logout_to_current] - A link that logs the user out, and redirects them back to the current page/URL.
</code></pre>
Advanced Usage:
All 3 shortcodes all support 3 attributes/parameters:
<pre><code>[logout text="" class="" redirect=""]
</code></pre>
The 3 supported attributes/parameters are:
<pre><code>text=""
</code></pre>
– The text to use for the link anchor text. 
– Default: <code>Log Out</code> 
 class=”” 
– The HTML class(es) to use for the link. Multiple classes should be separated by a space. 
– Default: <code>logout</code> 
 redirect=”” 
– The path/URL to redirect the user to after they are logged out. 
– Default: the WordPress login screen. 
– Note: must be a URL or path on the same domain name as the WordPress website (cannot be an external domain/URL)
Some Examples: 
 [logout text=”Log Off”] – A <code>Log Off</code> link that logs the user out. 
 [logout redirect=”/members/”] – Log the user out, and redirect them to <code>/members/</code>. 
 [logout_to_home text=”Log Off”] – A <code>Log Off</code> link that logs the user out and redirects them to your home page. 
 [logout class=”log-out-link”] – Use a custom CSS/HTML class name for the log out link.
Note: the shortcodes will return nothing/empty if the user isn’t logged in.

Log Out Shortcode

I was just about to write a plugin like this for myself. This is simple and to the point with just the right number of features.



Wonderfully simple plugin

Easily add a log out link or button to a post or page using a simple shortcode.

This plugin can be thought of as a front-end logout solution. It allows a WordPress administrator to embed a link on 
any page (or post if you want) that gives other WordPress users the ability to easily logout without having to fuss 
with the WordPress Dashboard. There are three shortcodes that can be used, and each one has a different redirect 
option: Redirect to Home, Current Page, or the WordPress Default wp-login.php page.
The Logout Button plugin uses the default log out functionality provided by WP through wp_loginout(). It checks to 
see if the user is logged in. If the user is logged in, a Log Out link will be displayed to them. If the user is not 
logged in, nothing will be shown to the user.
Future releases will include the ability to choose “Themes”. Right now, a simple link is displayed and the CSS from 
the currently activated theme is used on that link. Of course, there is always the ability to dive directly into 
display_button.php to edit the CSS yourself.
