Try mb-5.

The <p> already has 1rem of margin bottom by default and that is equal to mb-3 so thats why nothings changing.

mb-5 is equal to 3rem so the <p> will add more margin bottom.

Thanks Lewis, I added the mt-3 class to all my elements and refreshing the browser (cache cleared) doesn't reflect that. I'm going to try and work out how to update to bootstrap 4 now. Would be great if there was a video on that

Also having the same issue with mt-3, I'm guessing I need to be working with the Bootstrap 4 for this to take effect?

Yep need to be using the boostrap 4 alpha.6 for these mt-5 etc to work

I think I saw Guil Hernandez saying that they will have an updated bootstrap course later this year.
