Hello, it doesn't work when I log out. Whenever I go to /logout or when I click logout, the page shows "This page isn’t working." Do you have any ideas on how to fix this?

[kronchybitz]

Did anyone find a fix for the logout issue? Im having the same thing.

[Mr_aviation_shorts]

40:39 Hey man, thank you for the work you do. It seems like the LogoutView has been depricated. No matter how many times I try visiting to my logout url, I get a HTTP error 405. Can you help me out?

[lydiaahope]

The fix I found for the logout issue:

In navigation.html after "{{ user.username )) </a></li>" put:

<form action="{% url 'logout' %}" method="post">
{% csrf_token %}
<button class="btn btn-sm">Log Out</button>
</form>

And in settings.py at the bottom under LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = '/dashboard' put
LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URL = '/login'
This makes it to when you logout it redirects you to the login page instead of a logout page. I can't figure out the issue to make it to where the logout page works appropriately, but this should appropriately log the user out. 

If anyone solves the actual logout page issue please let us know. I went through quite a few steps of troubleshooting and still couldn't get the logout page to load appropriately without a "GET /logout/ HTTP/1.1" 405 0 error.

After hitting get started I’m able to get to my login page. I get error page after logging in. I’m not able to get to my dashboard with an account . When I go back to the main page it shows my login id on the top right. I think it’s a thing about the crispy forms but I’m not able to figure out the problem. It’s just the same with the online delivery app. Always get an error page telling me account/profile can’t be found.
