Custom Logo

• Custom Logo is supported via the Customizer in the panel Settings > Site Identity > Logo, default size is 300x100px which you can change in the add_theme_support('custom-logo') array in functions.php
• The logo can support the SVG format.
• SVGs are set to be allowed for upload by the constant 'ALLOW_UNFILTERED_UPLOADS' declared in functions.php
• The main purpose of the Custom Logo is to allow for its use via a header created with Beaver Themer - if you are using the Beaver Theme to create the header then the default Header panel > Header Logo section is preferred to use.
