django logout redirects me to administration page

Question

I have provided a simple login functionality. For logout, I tried to use the built-in one. This is my urls.py:

(r'', include('django.contrib.auth.urls')),

And this is my template file:

{% if user.is_authenticated %}
logged in as {{ user }}
(<a href="{% url "logout" %}">logout</a>)
{% else %}

I have also enabled the default django admin site. When I click logout, it shows me the administration logout view. How can I pass the logout next page attribute to tell django which view to render?

If you are seeing the log out page of the Django administration site instead of your own log out page (your_application/templates/registration/logged_out.html), check the INSTALLED_APPS setting of your project and make sure that django.contrib.admin comes after 'your_application'. Both templates are located in the same relative path and the Django template loader will use the first one it finds.

I didn't know that the logout template had to be named `logged_out.html`. Thanks a ton, you've put an end to almost a day of head-scratching :) – Soham Chowdhury Oct 09 '16 at 13:03

Wow. I did not find this in the documentation while reading about auth. Neat – karx Dec 19 '17 at 08:43

Tested on Django 1.6:

What I do is adding this into my urls.py:

(r'^management/logout/$', 'django.contrib.auth.views.logout'),

And then used it:

<a href="{% url "django.contrib.auth.views.logout" %}?next=/">Log out</a>

For the next argument, there you point to the right URL.

Tested on Django 2.1

Append to urlpatterns in urls.py:

from django.contrib.auth import views as auth_views

urlpatterns = [
    path('logout/', auth_views.LogoutView.as_view(), name='logout'),
]

And then use it in the template:

<a href="{% url "logout" %}?next=/">logout</a>

More info can be found here.

The simpliest, works like a charm. I recommend this if you want to logout without the need to create another template for logout view. – Shift 'n Tab Jul 23 '20 at 19:56

The easiest solution is:

Make sure your app comes before django.contrib.admin under installed apps in settings.py.
Make sure your template is called logged_out.html.

According to docs, you can supply the next_page parameter to the logout view. https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/#django.contrib.auth.views.logout

(r'^logout/$', 'django.contrib.auth.views.logout',
    {'next_page': '/logged_out/'})

The result is: `Reverse for 'logout' with arguments '()' and keyword arguments '{}' not found.` – ducin Mar 20 '13 at 22:40
maybe this logout is under an app and you need to specify also app name in that url – catherine Mar 21 '13 at 01:13

You can put LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URL in your settings.py file with a url name to redirect to, e.g. LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URL = 'index'

This is all fairly well explained in the manual, is there anything specific you don't understand?

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/default/#how-to-log-a-user-out

from django.contrib.auth import logout

def logout_view(request):
    logout(request)
    # Redirect to a success page.

Alternatively if you don't want to create your own view

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/default/#django.contrib.auth.views.logout

{% url 'logout' next='/some/url/' %}

I thought I can use built-in django logout view and parametrize it somehow - this wouldn't force me to define my own custom view. – ducin Mar 18 '13 at 00:07
@tkoomzaaskz: that's also an option, it's explained here: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/default/#django.contrib.auth.views.logout – Wolph Mar 18 '13 at 00:12

Then I get `Reverse for 'logout' with arguments '()' and keyword arguments '{u'next': u'/some/url/'}' not found.`. I don't know what's wrong... The same error I get with the `login` from contrib... – ducin Mar 20 '13 at 23:10
Can you check which Django version you are running exactly? Also, how/where did you include your login urls? – Wolph Mar 21 '13 at 11:09

Thanks! This is the answer that worked for me. Specifying the template name fixed it so it no longer switched over to the admin logout. – excyberlabber Jun 08 '17 at 16:48

Go to settings.py and add this code. "/" will redirect you to home

# Where to redirect during authentication
LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = "/" #To go to home after login instead of getting redirected to accounts/profile on login which is default
LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URL = "/" #To logout back to the home page instead of the default admin logout page

Summary of the most common solutions:

Make sure that your_app comes before django.contrib.admin in your INSTALLED_APPS list in your settings.py file.

Also make sure that your log out page is called 'logged_out.html' as pointed out in the answers above. Mine was called logout.html and didn't work.

correct, my issue is with order of the INSTALLED_APPS list at settings.py. – ZZA Sep 15 '22 at 10:13
but this also raise another problem because the admin panel logged out also redirect to frontend logout page – ZZA Sep 15 '22 at 10:15
Can confirm 'logged_out.html' was the issue for me as I had a slightly different format for the template name. – Olney1 Oct 12 '22 at 13:06

I'm surprised no one has mentioned this, you can put this in your settings.py to redirect when logging in and logging out:

LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = '/go-here-after-login/'
LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URL = '/go-here-after-logout/'

You can give the template to be rendered also in the href tag

{% if user.is_authenticated %}

  logged in as {{ user }}
  (<a href="{% url "logout" %}?next=myapp/templates/logoutmessage.html">logout</a>)

{% else %}
  ...
{% endif %}

if you use the default values in settings.py. Works for Django 3.1.

Make sure you added the following to your settings.py file:

LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = 'home' LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URL = 'home'

It tells Django to redirect you to whatever page you want to go to after logging in or out.

Just replace loaders here, and auth templates will be found in "your_progect_apps/templates/registration":

TEMPLATES = [
{
    'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
    'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates')],
    'OPTIONS': {
        'context_processors': [
            'django.template.context_processors.debug',
            'django.template.context_processors.request',
            'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
            'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
        ],
        'loaders': [
            'django.template.loaders.filesystem.Loader',
            'django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader',
        ],
