[wordpress] Rewriting logout URL to /logout/[id]

Hey guys!

I'm trying to rewrite the logout URL to "logout/[id]", i've managed to do this pretty easy with:

RewriteRule ^logout/(.*)$ /wp-login.php?action=logout&redirect_to=/&_wpnonce=$1 [L]

However now i'm trying to display the logout link, at the moment my code is:

Code:

<?php $uri = wp_nonce_url( site_url("logout/", 'login'), 'log-out' ); ?>
<li class="logout"><a href="<?php echo $uri;?>" title="Logout"><span>Logout</span></a></li>

Which renders the logout URL as:
http://website.com/logout/?_wpnonce=[ID]

But what i need is:
http://website.com/logout/[ID]

Any suggestions?

I haven't tried it, but a quick look at the wp_nonce_url source code and some jiggling around and here's what came out:

PHP Code:


			
$url = wp_specialchars(site_url('logout/'.wp_create_nonce('log-out'), 'login'));

Sorry, I wrote $url rather than your variable name $uri.
