CSS How to Make a Website Responsive Web Design and Testing Refactor the Layout

Why can't I get the last step right in Responsive Web Design and Testing?

When I do the 2 of 2 step in the Responsive Web Design and Testing stage 8 I seem to never get it right. When they ask me to clear the fourth left side inside the media screen I do it the way Nick has shown us in the module but it still says I'm not clearing it. So I use the code of "#gallery li:nth-child(4n) { clear:left }" So I'm really stuck on this one and I am so sorry if my question makes no sense.

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(4n) {
  clear:left;
}
}

The code you posted in your description part is correct, but doesn't match your posted code perfectly. I think it's just a minor whitespace problem.

You want the :nth-child psudo selector right up against the list item element selector. Should work as expected then.

#gallery li:nth-child(4n) {
    clear: left;
}

Minor typos are so much easier to spot in code you didn't write. :)

Hello issue with mine on Challenge Task 1 of 2 i'm 100% sure the code is right but the Challenge is not allowing me to do it ....

@media screen and (min-width: 480px) { /**************************** TWO COLUMN LAYOUT *****************************/

#primary {
    width: 50%;
    float: left;
}

#secondary {
    width: 40%;
    float: right;
}

/****************************
PAGE: PORTFOLIO
*****************************/

#gallery li {
    width: 28.3333%;
}

#gallery li:nth-child(4n) {
    clear: left;
}


/****************************
PAGE: ABOUT
*****************************/

.profile-photo {
    float: left;
    margin: 0 5% 80px 0;
}

}
