wp_get_custom_css() │ WP 4.7.0

Fetches the CSS code from the Theme Customizer settings. The CSS will be retrieved as it is: without a <style> pane.

These styles are saved in the Theme Customizer in "Additional CSS" pane.

To display the Custom CSS wrapped in the <style> tag, use wp_get_custom_css() function.

These styles are displayed automatically by the WordPress itself in the HEAD of the theme during the wp_head action.
