Background image wont display in Visual Editor row

I am trying to test the use of a background image in order to have linked text displayed over an image. I cannot even get an image to display. I have created a test page using Site Origin Builder, and one row with Visual Editor added. The row has 3 sections I am using the middle one. I have added the image to the Display/background image, and set it to Fixed. No image is showing. This is currently on a test site with WP 4.9.5 running tesseract (the live site is a 5.4 version). Our site host who set up the site is so far unable to help. Any ideas?

    Andrew,

    Thanks for responding. However, since sending my message I have discovered that the way to add a background image is to use CSS code. I found the details here – https://wordpress.org/support/topic/page-background-image-2/
    . However, I am surprised that the background image setting on the row editing screen doesn't work.

    I am happy with the solution I found, so please close the issue.

    Thanks again,

    Regards

    Hi John

    Thanks for the update.

    In a normal situation, the background image settings work at a widget, cell, and row-level. If you’d ever like to circle back and troubleshoot the issue, please, let us know and we’ll take a look. I’m glad to hear you’re making progress.

    Cheers for now.
