User Switching not longer working with Authorizer Version 2.9.11

[ocager]

Hi,

since the release 2.9.11, the plugin User Switching is no longer working (more information about the behavior here). I've tested previously available versions from 2.8.8 to 2.9.11 and can confirm that the problem started with the current version (2.9.11). For the first time, I thought the reason is the plugin User Switching itself, but after a further investigation, I found out that the issue is linked to Authorizer.

Following your change log for version 2.9.11, there were many changes included, but I'm not the technical expert to identify if that behavior is wanted or not. Do you have an idea why User Switching is not working?

WordPress version 5.3 changed the behavior of the wp_logout filter, which caused us to switch to clear_auth_cookie to be able to log out CAS users:

Here's the trac ticket about it:

And one of our support requests:

Can you try editing class-wp-plugin-authorizer.php as shown above to switch back to the wp_logout filter and see if that's the cause? If so, we'll need to investigate what User Switching is doing to change the current user.

I can confirm that changing back to wp_logout filter recovers the functionality of the plugin User Switching.
