Questions that are too localized (such as syntax errors, code with restricted access, hacked sites, hosting or support issues) are not in scope. See how do I ask a good question?

Improve this questionI just installed the latest version of WordPress (4.9.5) on my server, and I want to add a custom logo next to the title of my website.
Every tutorial mentions a feature called "site logo", but I cannot find this feature anywhere in my WordPress installation. I'm almost starting to question my own sanity at this point.
According to tutorials, I should have this option in the "Site identity" section, but it's not there. I do have a 'site icon' setting there, but this only seems to affect the favicon image. No logo is displayed on the site itself.
I also checked the "header image" section under "customize". This always me to upload an image, but this image is used as a background image for the header. That's not what I had I mind either.
I really feel like I'm missing something obvious here, so any help is very much appreciated.
PS: I'm using the free "sela" theme, which claims to support the site logo feature.

Reset to default 2Custom logo functionality has two parts, first your theme has to declare support for this feature with add_theme_support( 'custom-logo' );, then you need to use the_custom_logo function to display it wherever you want in your template.
