Media Queries Not Working [RESPONSIVE DESIGN]

[vitordeazambuja]

I need adapting my site to mobile devices, my media queries don’t seem to work, why? I really don’t know what I’m missing here.

here goes the code where i used “p” to test if the media query was working:

body{
    background-color: #EAE0D5;
    color: #0A0908;
    font-family: 'Lato', sans-serif;
    font-size: 10px;
    display:flex;
    flex-direction: column;
    justify-content: center;
    align-items: center;
}

/* HEADER */

    width:100%;

@vitordeazambuja

.p{
        color: red;
    }

Do you really have a class named ‘p’?

[vitordeazambuja]

Oops, that was a typo, sorry. But still don’t working.

[staledata]

Ok, are you sure that you made the browser window small enough to test it? And do you have a simple p tag with plain text and without nesting a tags etc. in the first place? The media query is ok now.

[vitordeazambuja]

Yes, I’m testing it on device emulation in browser inspect mode. but still not working.

[staledata]

Then post your html, too, please.
Just tested with a plain p tag, it works fine:
