Columns display on top of each other instead of next to each other?

My code is exactly the same as the code in the video but at full screen,my columns span the width of the page and are stacked on top of each other instead of next to each other and I can't work out why.

/* ================================= 
  Media Queries
==================================== */

@media (min-width: 769px) {

    .main-header,
    .main-nav,
    .row
  .col {
        display: flex;
    }

    .main-header {
        flex-direction: column;
        align-items: center;
    }

    .col {
        flex: 1;
    flex-direction: column;
    }

  .button {
    margin-top: auto;
    align-self: flex-start;
  }

}

@media (min-width: 1025px) {

    .main-header {
        flex-direction: row;
        justify-content: space-between;
    }

}

Hi Phoebe,

It looks like you've missed a , in the first rule of your 769px media query. Because of this the display: flex property is no longer being applied on the .row element which causes the elements to stack again.

If you add the , in between .row and .col your code should start working as expected 🙂
