I got it to work…I have a local setup of Luminescence and installed the child theme for it, activated (it has to be active). Then I copied the parent theme’s header.php over into the child theme, added a new class to the following as mybackground:
<div class="row-fluid lum-equal-wrap mybackground" style="background-color: ;">
I then uploaded a background image to the child theme’s image folder, then in the child theme’s style.css, I did this:
.mybackground {
background-image: url(images/bg.png);
background-repeat:repeat;
}
Refreshed the front of the site, and I got my background.
If you use your Media Library instead for your image background, then use the absolute url for the image path in the css above instead. For example:
http://path-to-image/bg.png
