Flexbox row is not working

Question

Hello, 
I am working on a responsive site for a techdegree project using flexbox.  in my mobile first approach the nav items are in a column, and in the media query for the tablet size, I need them to be in a row.  However this is not working.  I have added a wrap, which puts them back in to a column and tried using justify content, which is not helping.  Any ideas on why this is not working?

Hi there,
As Steven said, it's a little hard to tell without the proper formatting and without looking at the html, but it looks you have your nav li (the flex-items) elements set to a width of 70vw at 769px viewport size? That probably makes the flex items too wide to sit in a row, so they're just stacking on top of each other.  Try setting the nav li elements at that viewport size to a smaller width (49vw or less). Hope that helps!
