How to add the scrolling photo as in the preview of the theme Twenty Seventeen?

    hi everyone,
    In the theme Twenty Seventeen, in preview, you see the background photo come back a couple of times when you scroll through the homepage. It’s beautiful and I want to do the same on my website. But as soon as I apply the theme on my own account, the homepage is static and the photo is not visible in the background, only as header.
    I tried to change background settings already, but that’s not it.

    Does anyone know how to help me?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi beleaflaura, Twenty Seventeen has a bit of setup required: basically each section of the scrolling front page, is on the backend actually a separate page, each with a featured image.

    You can read about the setup here (just scroll down a bit)

    Oops, I accidentally sent that before I intended to — but, yeah, there’s a section on that page that describes how to set up the exact effect you’re referring to.

    I hope this helps!
