How to Log Out of Wordpress

Updated on:

Use this interactive demo to learn how to safely sign out of your WordPress account in seconds.

Quick summary

To log out of WordPress, open the Admin Toolbar, click your username, and select Log Out from the dropdown — you'll be redirected to the WordPress login page to confirm the action. This quick process works on any WordPress.com site and takes fewer than 30 seconds to complete.


Steps

  1. While logged into your WordPress site, locate the Admin Toolbar at the top of the page.
  2. Click on your username or the Howdy, [Your Username] greeting in the top-right corner of the Admin Toolbar to open the dropdown menu.
  3. Click Log Out from the dropdown menu.
  4. After clicking Log Out, you'll be redirected to the WordPress login page, confirming you have been successfully logged out.

📌 Why this matters

Knowing how to properly log out of WordPress is essential for protecting your site's security, especially on shared or public devices. Leaving an active WordPress session open exposes your admin dashboard to unauthorized access, putting your content, settings, and user data at risk. The WordPress logout process — accessed through the Admin Toolbar — takes seconds and immediately ends your authenticated session. Following the correct sign-out steps ensures your WordPress account stays secure between sessions.
