Great idea - this would work.

Since logging out of discourse would call wp\_logout() (via logout\_redirect in the Discourse admin), couldn’t I just add an action on wp\_logout() for the user and not rely on the [WP Discourse](https://github.com/discourse/wp-discourse) plugin’s action hook?

Seems either way would work but we don’t expect ever to have a user logged into the WP instance in any other way…
