Unable to complete challenge

H guys,

I seem to have trouble completing the challenge task 4 of 4 after the Advanced Nesting video in the Sass tutorial. When I click the preview the links change color to purple as specified, but when I run the Check Task it fails.

Here is my SCSS:

p {
   a {
      color: red;
      .footer & {
         color: purple;
         }
       }
       > a {
          color: blue;
          &:hover {
             opacity: 0.5;
             }
          }
       }

It's probably some dumb mistake that I can't seem to find :) Any help is appreciated.

Cheers,

Jakub

Hi Jakub,

It's just a picky challenge. They want you to use a more specific selector. Not just any element with a class of "footer" but a div with a class of "footer"
