What is wrong with this media query???

@media (min-width: 992px) { width: 50%; font-size: 1.3rem; }

This is from a personal project but the media query was written by bootstrap but its showing red marks underneath? I cannot fix it and don't know what the problem is.

Thanks!!

In this media query you haven't defined the CSS selector you are trying to target, you have only specified the CSS properties that you want to make changes to as styles. Now you need to pick which element you want to style for example (with a class selector):

@media (min-width: 992px) {
  .class-you-want-to-style {
    width: 50%;
    font-size: 1.3rem; 
  }
}

You have specified the breakpoint in the layout where you want to style a certain part of your design at 992px and defined the styles, now you want to add that element you want to apply those styles to.

Thank you. This makes all the sense. I will have to download the original file to see if something has been deleted.
