I have a log in page. on success i am pushing to a tabs page that i get when i start my project my using tabs.`(ionic start myApp tabs)`.

There is a logout page in one of the tabs, when i click it i need to go to the login page and start my app as new.

Below are the codes that i am using to navigate

`login.ts`

```auto
this.navCtrl.push(TabsPage);

```

```auto
tabs.html

```

```auto
<ion-tabs>
	<ion-tab [root]="tab1Root" tabTitle="Home" tabIcon="home"></ion-tab>
	<ion-tab [root]="tab2Root" tabTitle="Settings" tabIcon="settings"></ion-tab>
	<ion-tab [root]="tab3Root" tabTitle="Logout" tabIcon="power"></ion-tab>
</ion-tabs>

```

`logout.ts`

```auto
private app:App

this.app.getRootNav().setRoot(LoginPage);

```

My problem is ,

on logout the page is directed back to the login page alright.  
But when i log in again i get two home pages, stacked twice,

and then i logout again and then log back in, the pile of pages increased to three.  
And it increases further. How do i solve this?

Hello,

NavController is a stack. Each time you push a page you put this page on the stack.  
You can remove pages with using pop or remove see doc.

Use setRoot(‘TabsPage’) and also use setRoot when you log out to switch back to the login page.

My root page is not the tabs page but the loginpage

on successful log in it is pushed into the tabspage

Yes I understand that. But to solve your problem you shoud use the navCtr.setRoot function to switch to the tabs page.
