How to redirect a Wordpress logout to custom URL

Basic

I know only 2 hooks when logout happen. This is logout_url and wp_logout. Usually, I use the wp_logout in the next way

function your_prefix_redirect() { wp_redirect('https://google.com/'); die; } add_action('wp_logout', 'your_prefix_redirect', PHP_INT_MAX); 

Notice, I specified priority as maximum INT, because some other code may do anything else major while logout happen

Where to place the code?

You should to try the next ways:

1. Place the code inside the function.php into your active theme
2. Create a basic plugin has the code above

I don't know about function.php, but inside the plugin the code above working well.

How to create a Wordpress basic plugin

1. Move to folder wp-content/plugins
2. Create a file your-some-prefix-logout-custom-url.php

3. Open new file and put in next:

   <?php /* Plugin Name: Custom logout URL Author: Your_Name */ function your_prefix_redirect() { wp_redirect('https://google.com/'); die; } add_action('wp_logout', 'your_prefix_redirect', PHP_INT_MAX); 

Activate the new plugin in Wordpress admin panel after you done all actions above. If your plugin isn't show in the plugin list then create any folder in wp-content/plugins and move your plugin into new folder. The comment before the code block is requirement.
