Learn in this tutorial how to customize the URL to which an image logo links in WordPress.
Following a request from a subscriber, I prepared a tutorial on how to change the link of a text logo.

Thanks to the get_custom_logo filter you can modify the link pointing to a logo in image format.
In this example the URL is “https://www.yourwebsite.com”, but the idea is that you replace it with a custom one that fulfills the function you want.
Note: this strategy of modifying the URL with the get_custom_logo filter only works if you are using an image as the logo.
If you are using a logo in text format you need to apply this Genesis filter.
Surprising, isn’t it?
To achieve the same result, the method is very different if the logo is text or image.
So much so that in one case you must use a general WordPress filter and in the other a specific Genesis one.
Conclusions
Now you know how to modify the URL of the link to which the logo redirects when it is an image in a WordPress theme.
