freemember logout error

Question

Running EE v2.5.5 and FreeMember 2.1.1

I am using the following code to log out a user:

<a href="{exp:freemember:logout_url return="dashboard/register"}">logout</a>

clicking the link takes me to EE's system message page with the following message:

You are not authorized to perform the following action

am I implementing this wrong or is there a bug perhaps?

Here are links to my templates

logging out from here: http://pastie.org/6317009

any page I use for the return param creates the same error

Thanks!

Answer 1

This error has been fixed in FreeMember 2.2.1, released today:

Answer 2

You are implementing the tag correctly according to the docs.

This error is usually related to a member having incorrect access or issues with forms being processed in Secure Mode.

Things to try:

1. Change the return parameter to another URL, try return="/". If another URL works, something in that template is the problem so you'll need to reduce to find out what.

2. Disable the "Process Form Data in Secure Mode" setting on the Security and Sessions page in the CP which is located here: Admin ‣ Security and Privacy ‣ Security and Sessions.

EDIT
With the new if of your template code, here are two things to try:

1. Change {if logged_out}{redirect="/"}{/if} to {if logged_out}Logged out{/if}. Does it show or same error?
2. Remove all code from the template except {if logged_out}{redirect="/"}{/if}
3. Change {if logged_out}{redirect="/"}{/if} to {if logged_out}{redirect="/"}{if:else}ALL OTHER TEMPLATE CODE HERE{/if} OR {if logged_out}{redirect="/"}{/if} {if logged_in}ALL OTHER TEMPLATE CODE HERE{/if}
4. Test a new template that just handles redirect with {if logged_out}{redirect="/"}{/if} {if logged_in}{redirect="dashboard"}{/if}
5. Test {if logged_out}{redirect="{path=}"}{/if} OR {if logged_out}{redirect="http://www.domain.com"}{/if}
6. Check the URL where you are seeing the message... is it the dashboard URL or the home page URL? It will tell you where the issue is.
