Activeadmin doesn't log out when I click "logout"

Question

I am following the instructions from the railscast about installing activeadmin. Upon installation, I got two errors -

1) invalid number of args for sign_in - so I renamed my sign_in method to sign_in_user and that fixed this issue.

then

2) invalid number of args for signed_in? - so I renamed my signed_in? method to is_signed_in? and that fixed this issue.

Now everything seems to work except when I click the log out button in activeadmin, it says "signed out successfully" but the logout button is still in the top corner and it didn't log me out.

I added these two things to my active_admin.rb file per suggestions from people with similar problems:

config.logout_link_path = :destroy_admin_user_session_path

and

config.logout_link_method = :delete

but still no luck. Here is my rake routes:

For Devise users:

In /config/initializers/active_admin.rb

ActiveAdmin.setup do |config|
  config.logout_link_path = :destroy_user_session_path
  config.logout_link_method = :delete

RESTART SERVER before testing the change.
