Logout function according user role.
function wpdocs_redirect_after_logout() { $current_user = wp_get_current_user(); $role_name = $current_user->roles[0]; if ( 'subscriber' === $role_name ) { $redirect_url = site_url(); wp_safe_redirect( $redirect_url ); exit; } } add_action( 'wp_logout', 'wpdocs_redirect_after_logout' );Feedback
The WP_User object would have been destroyed at this point in the logout life-cycle. Therefore a redirect based on user-role is not feasible.

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 —
