Stuck on Step 2 of CSS Basics: Media Queries Challenge

It won't accept my code and I don't understand why.

I even tried copy and pasting the code from here and still get the same issue.

https://teamtreehouse.com/community/media-queries-challenge-task-2-i-can-not-get-it-to-accept-my-answer

It says I did not specify the correct font size for H1. It's driving me crazy, I don't understand what I'm doing wrong.

Can someone help please?

style.css 
/* Complete the challenge by writing CSS below */

@media (max-width:  1020px)  {
   .main-header  {
     background-color:  tomato;
      color:  white;
   }
}

  @media (max-width: 768px)  {
    .title {
      font-size: 1.4rem;
    }
    .h1 {
      font-size: 5rem;
    }
  }

Remove the "." from your CSS for h1, Your h1 element has a class named "main-heading" not "h1" :)
