Hi again Cristian, you were so helpful last time, I decided to go straight to the main man.

As you might recall the question (viewtopic.php?f=4&t=6311#p14153) last time.

I realised what was causing it.

There is a WP page with a button that logged in users land on, this page then (after clicking button) goes off to my custom php pages which dont have the logout bar. The logged in users subsequently don't log out they just close the window.

1. How do I include the logout bar in my custom code and get it to work
2. Can I put a session into a WP Page and how. This will hopefully control the inadvertant logouts

I see. Well, maybe you'll find something helpful with a search like this http://www.google.com.mx/search?q=wordp ... in+outside

If you don't need to bother checking the status of the person, you could have a logout link that's always there /wp-login.php?action=logout&redirect_to=/

Thanks again Cristian
I am sorry to have bothered you, but as they say, you want the right answers, ask the right people.
I will try this and keep you posted.

Just a quick note here. Something that's bitten me in the past.
WordPress requires a "logout" request to be accompanied by an "nonce" for verification. So the proper way to create a logout link with a redirection, is with this function call. This does the same thing your manual entry accomplishes, but it does it without a warning notification from WordPress.

Code: Select all

<?php echo wp_logout_url("/"); ?>

See: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Ref ... logout_url

Thanks for the heads up, Jason!

That comes from me tooooooo

I tried your links but because I'm not WP savvy, none of it made much sense. i am going to try to learn the WP API soon, but at the moment I'm bogged down in raw PHP/MySQL dev.

So if there is a code snippet either of you could share with me on how to call the s2Member logout function from a custom PHP page I would be most greatful. I have the button already to go, just need the code and what to include.

THANKS

ps. my pages live in wp-content/mypages

where "mypages" is the name of the folder where most of my cust PH lives, the rest live in wp-includes

Roy, maybe this will help viewtopic.php?p=9683#p9683

Thanks again Cristian,
This was great, and I watched the video too.
This tells me if they are logged in, how do I log them out, or did I miss something

Well, once you include that file, you're in WordPress, you can use all the WP functions, etc. You could copy the login/logout code from a theme or widget that has it, for example, and use it in your script.

Ok thanks, your a little bit sneeky on the "giving up code bit", but I get your drift,
I will investigate ..................................

Thanks again.
