There are errors regarding login and logout, but the code is exactly as Kenneth Love explains in his videos. Why the errors?

Thanks for sharing your code! Can you also share the errors you receive? That way we can look at what the errors are saying exactly and investigate from there.

●Log a valid User in ●Validate menu for authenticated users ●Log an authenticated user out ●Create a taco and redirect to the home page

Thank you for sharing those points. I am not quite familiar with this topic yet, hopefully we can find you some help to look over your code and errors!

A point of clarification -> when I asked if you could share the errors you are receiving, I meant -- can you describe what are the specific log in and log out errors that you are having?

Is there an error message that your computer is giving you, in the terminal or in the browser, that you can copy/paste here as a code snippet?

Or are you just in a situation where "I did this X and expected Y to happen, but instead I am getting Z" ?

Either way, hopefully we can find someone to look at this and help you some more.
