Function to get custom logo URL

[rabmalin]

It seems that there is no function to get custom logo URL equivalent to get_site_icon_url. It would be great if we add such helper function.

Can you expand on the need for a function like that?

I'm actually surprised we didn't introduce a get_custom_logo_url() helper, it seems like kind of a given for a new feature like this. I can absolutely see wanting to pull just the URL and not the full markup.

If the URL alone is used to embed the logo then previewing the change will likely not work as expected because it is looking for an element with a certain class name to target for selective refresh.

For the reason @westonruter mentions above, I think since we didn't introduce it with the feature, we shouldn't make this easy to do because it will break previewing. Jumping through the hoop of using get_theme_mod aligns with the need to also do custom work to make the customizer preview work.

Agree 100%. May be we can close this as wontfix. If anybody really want that then, its not that complex to achieve.

Closing based on above discussion.

I'm surprised there isn't a get_custom_logo_url() helper too.

I want to use the custom logo as a background image. With the WP functions available to me, I'm unable to do this without duplicating code in the get_custom_logo() function.
