I want to use another link for logout because I have /wp-admin/* protected with htpassword. Is there a way to do this? Something like creating a custom page like site.com/logout then use it as my new logout link?
Thanks!

You can filter 'logout_url' and return a custom value if you are in the admin area:
add_filter( 'logout_url', 'wpse_58453_logout_url' );
function wpse_58453_logout_url( $default )
{
// set your URL here
return is_admin() ? 'http://example.com/custom' : $default;
}

What will do with the endpoint? I created a page called 'logout' and it just redirects it there what do i need to add on the logout page? Thank you for your reply. – tiltdown Jul 14 '12 at 7:27

No same question. Here's the thing i followed your function added it on my custom function file then made it to "mysite.com/logout" the logout is a WordPress page. When i do
<?php echo wp_logout_url( ); ?>it gives me a the right logout url which is mysite.com/logout but when i click on it it will just redirect me to the /logout WordPress page. Do i need to setup any code on my/logoutpage on wordpress? – tiltdown Jul 14 '12 at 8:27

This worked for me redirecting to the home page:
add_action('wp_logout','unlog');
function unlog(){
wp_redirect( site_url() );
exit();
}

Thank you, this works. The accepted answer just did a redirect without a logout. – Fabian von Ellerts May 13 at 14:53

I think you should add rewrite rule in your htaccess file like this.
RewriteRule ^logout/(.*) /wp-login.php?action=logout&_wpnonce=$1 [QSA,L]

I found the solution here: https://www.kmbytes.com/wordpress-logout-redirect-filter/
And it is working great!
add_filter( 'logout_url', 'my_logout_url' );
function my_logout_url( $url ) {
$redirect = home_url();
return $url.'&redirect_to='.$redirect;
}
Cheers!
