Warning: This function logs the user out as soon as it is called. Don’t add it to button values or widgets using a plugin to insert PHP. If you do so, you might lose access to your admin because you will be logged out every time you visit a page. If you want to create a Logout button, or a link the user can click to log out, use wp_logout_url() instead. — By carike —
Please do not copy / paste this code into a button if you are a new user.
wp_logout();should always be wrapped in an if statement. — By carike —
