Need help with responsiveness of web page

Hello guys and gals!

So I'm trying to figure out why when I resize my browser that all my elements aren't responding to my search media queries.

The page is: http://045.978.myftpupload.com/membership/

You will notice that I have CSS code for various screen sizes but when moving the browser size smaller and larger the elements don't activate as they should.

Thanks for your help!

When using complicated frameworks, customization must be done the "framework way".

I'm not very familiar with Wordpress, but in observing your site with the Dev Tools, I notice that there appears to be some dynamically injected inline CSS which overrides anything that might be in a stylesheet. If you just added some things to a stylesheet, that's clearly not the "Wordpress way" of customizing the responsive behavior.

I would suggest you consult the Wordpress documentation to see how (or even if) they have provided a way to influence the responsive behavior of the page.

Hopefully it won't come to this, but if you have needs that are not provided for by the framework, you might need to dig deeper into the JavaScript components and alter them also, or perhaps abandon Wordpress altogether and "roll your own".
