I keep getting bummer and this is what i wrote: #gallery li:nth-child(4) { clear: left; } What am i doing wrong?

I even tried

gallery li:nth-child(4n) {

clear: left; } because it does say EVERY 4th list item. Nothing. Help?

css/main.css 
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%;
 }

  #gallery li: nth-child(4) {

      clear: left;
}
}

You show three different attempts, but each one has a different issue. The issues are:

  • using (4) instead of (4n) (you were right about having to use 4n for EVERY 4th item)
  • leaving off the pound sign (#) in front of gallery
  • having a space between li: and nth-child

Just combine these into one with all the issues eliminated and you should be good!

Hey Steven,

I wanted to give you a heads up on the pound sign since this always comes up. When css isn't posted correctly in a code block the pound sign is interpreted as an h1 using markdown formatting. The line with the pound ends up being a larger font size and in bold like an h1 would normally be. It's there but you can't see it.
