I'm using Genesis Sample theme 2.6.0, and am trying to change the background image for the entire site. Using a small image, tiled.

I thought this would be in Customizer, but didn't find anything.

I found this post, but it only works for versions 2.5.3 and under.

What is the simplest way to add a background image?

Thanks for any input.

The feature has been removed from the theme, so you have to update the CSS manually. Add the background image directly to the body CSS in style.css. https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_background-image.asp
