When I set the padding to 15px on top/bottom and 10px left/right, it is giving me an error saying top padding is 15px??

When I go to set the padding to 15px on top/bottom and 10px left/right, it gives me an error message saying "Bummer! The top padding needs to be set to 15px". My line is (padding: 15px 10px;). Am I doing something incorrectly?

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 {
  margin: 0 10px;
  list-style: none;
  padding: 0;
}

nav li {
  display: inline-block;
  font-weight: 800;
  padding: 15px 10px;
}

You have to select the anchor element which is the a tag inside the nav. So you want something like this nav a

nav a {
  color: #fff;
  font-weight:800;
  padding:15px 10px;
}

It says set the padding on the "LINKS" inside of the "NAV" element. You are applying the padding to the "LI" elements inside of the "NAV"
