I found it…
I had to put a custom css as shown below
#site-content {background-image: url(wp-content/uploads/2018/07/background2.png);}
I was passing a full url path and it was expecting a relative path. Now it works.
Please share your solution with us.
I have a very similar issue on my site http://18dim-ioann.ioa.sch.gr/wp/
