I want to add a logout button on the side admin menu (because I disable the admin bar for the users). So I thought add_menu_page() is the way to do it, but how to add the link to the regarded function?
Here is what i did:
add_action( 'admin_menu', 'my_logout_menu' );
function my_logout_menu() {
add_menu_page( 'Logout', 'Logout', 'read', 'logout', 'my_logout' );}
function my_logout() {
echo wp_logout_url( $redirect );}//here is I don't know what to do.
Am I using the correct approach? or there are other easier ways to do it?

Instructions:
Copy the code below and save as users-logout.php
Create a folder called users-logout, upload the file and the images below to work.
Any problems just let me know
