Logout redirects to a broken page(home URL is omitted)

by

I’m using the latest version of WP. I have a problem, where clicking the logout button from the admin panel redirects to a completely broken link:

http://wp-login.php/?loggedout=true

As you can see, the domain is completely omitted from the link(in my case it’s wp.localhost)

I will mention that this local WP site was “cloned” from a remote server, but i made sure to change the “siteurl” and “home” fields in the wp_options table, and everything else works just fine

Can somebody tell me, where the problem might be? Is there any other configuration field, that might be relevant to this?

Found the answer. It is a bug in WordPress v5.2.3 affecting WordPress in Windows environments. Caused by backslashes in Windows paths that aren’t stripped correctly

Details here: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/47980

I have tried the patch suggested and can confirm it solves the problem.

replace:

$location = "https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/" . ltrim( $path . "https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/", "https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/" ) . $location;

with

$location = "https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/" . ltrim( $path . "https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/", '/\\' ) . $location;

in /wp-includes/pluggable.php, line 1404

It says it will be fixed in version 5.2.4
