Python Web Development Techdegree Student 8,096 PointsI'm supposed to clear: left; on every 4th listed item within #gallery. Why is that not happening?
If I was to guess, the problem is selecting li within an existing #gallery li.
a {
text-decoration: none;
}
#wrapper {
max-width: 940px;
margin: 0 auto;
}
#logo {
text-align: center;
margin: 0;
}
h1, h2 {
color: #fff;
}
nav a {
color: #fff;
}
nav a:hover {
color: #32673f;
}
h1 {
font-family: Changa One, sans-serif;
font-size: 1.75em;
font-weight: normal;
}
img {
max-width: 100%;
}
#gallery {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style: none;
}
#gallery li {
float: left;
width: 45%;
margin: 2.5%;
background-color: #f5f5f5;
color: #bdc3c7;
}
nav ul {
list-style: none;
margin: 0 10px;
padding: 0;
}
nav li {
display: inline-block;
}
nav a {
font-weight: 800;
padding: 15px 10px;
}
.profile-photo {
display: block;
margin: 0 auto 30px;
max-width: 150px;
border-radius: 100%;
}
.contact-info {
list-style: none;
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
font-size: 0.9em;
}
.contact-info a {
display: block;
min-height: 20px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-size: 20px 20px;
padding: 0 0 0 30px;
margin: 0 0 10px;
}
@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {
#gallery li {
width: 28.3333%;
nth-child(4) {
clear: left;
}
}

Front End Web Development Techdegree Student 15,705 PointsYou need to make sure you create a separate CSS entry for both even though they are both targeting the list items in the gallery.
Good luck.
@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {
#gallery li{
width: 28.3333%;
}
#gallery li:nth-child(4n) {
clear: left;
}
}

@media screen and (min-width: 480px) {
#gallery li {
width: 28.3333%;
}
#gallery li:nth-child(4n) {
clear: left;
}
}

Python Web Development Techdegree Student 8,096 PointsI figured I was overlooking something. But I had actually overlooked three things. I had a period instead of a colon between li and nth-child, I missed the 'n' in '4n' and I didn't know to put the nth-child thing on the same line as #gallery.
