Code for Log Out Button Yields Strange URL

Question

I'm using some code that I found here in order to create a login/logout form on my sidebar. The login works just fine, but what's weird is that on logout, the user gets redirected to "personaldomain.com/%2F", and I get an error that says

Not Found

The requested URL // was not found on this server.

The code for the logout button is:

<a href="<?php echo wp_logout_url(urlencode($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])); ?>">logout</a><br />

Any advice?

Answer 1

According to the codex.. this part:

urlencode($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])

.
is unneeded... if you just wan't to logout (pasting from wordpress codex)

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

.

Logout and Redirect to Current Page

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

.
Logout and Redirect to Homepage

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

.
Hope this helps... should always check the codex first ;)
