Responsive Layout Using Media Queries

I tried to implement my first Media Query and I cannot understand why it has had no effect. I have 4 columns (flex items) and I am trying to reduce this to 2 columns (flex Items) on screens under 800px.

I followed the w3schools example.

I would be very grateful if somebody could look at my code and tell me what I am missing.

I am trying to build my first static website. I am now trying to figure out how to make it responsive. It won't let me post this without adding more detail but I just want to know what's wrong with this media query.

* {
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

@media screen and(max-width:800px) {
  .column {
    flex: 50%;
    padding: 0 1%;
  }
}

body {
  width: 100%;
  margin: 0 auto;
  background-image: url("wallpaper2.jpg");
  background-repeat: repeat;
}

.header {
  width: 100%;
  background: black;
  height: 100px;
  color: white;
}

h1 {
  margin: 0 auto;
  position: relative;
  top: 30px;
  left: 15px;
  font-size: 2em;
  color: #f0c330;
}

ul {
  list-style-type: none;
  float: right;
  margin: auto;
  position: relative;
}

li {
  display: inline-block;
  padding-left: 20px;
  font-size: 1.4em;
}

.lastlist {
  padding-right: 65px;
}

.nav {
  text-decoration: none;
  color: #f0c330;
}

.nav:hover {
  color: white;
}

.wrapper {
  width: 75%;
  background: pink;
  margin: 0 auto;
  height: max-content;
  padding: 2%;
}

.row {
  display: flex;
  flex-wrap: wrap;
}

.column {
  flex: 0 1 25%;
  padding: 0 1%;
}

.gallery {
  width: 100%;
  margin-bottom: 4%;
  max-width: 100%;
}

.column img {
  width: 100%;
  max-width: 100%;

You need a space in between and & (max-width-:800px) .

You also need to place the media querie at the end or increase the selector weight , else , the other rule for .column {flex: xx} overides it .

example:

* {
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

@media screen and (max-width:800px) {
  .row .column {/* increase selector wheight or send me after .column selector */
    flex  :  50%;
    padding: 0 1%;
  }
}


body {
  width: 100%;
  margin: 0 auto;
  background-image: url("wallpaper2.jpg");
  background-repeat: repeat;
}

.header {
  width: 100%;
  background: black;
  height: 100px;
  color: white;
}

h1 {
  margin: 0 auto;
  position: relative;
  top: 30px;
  left: 15px;
  font-size: 2em;
  color: #f0c330;
}

ul {
  list-style-type: none;
  float: right;
  margin: auto;
  position: relative;
}

li {
  display: inline-block;
  padding-left: 20px;
  font-size: 1.4em;
}

.lastlist {
  padding-right: 65px;
}

.nav {
  text-decoration: none;
  color: #f0c330;
}

.nav:hover {
  color: white;
}

.wrapper {
  width: 75%;
  background: pink;
  margin: 0 auto;
  height: max-content;
  padding: 2%;
}

.row {
  display: flex;
  flex-wrap: wrap;
}

.column {
  flex: 0 1 25%;
  padding: 0 1%;
}

.gallery {
  width: 100%;
  margin-bottom: 4%;
  max-width: 100%;
}

.column img {
  width: 100%;
  max-width: 100%;

If I understand your question correctly, all you need to add is a media query like this (the max-width value in it should be adjusted to your actual requirements):

@media screen and (max-width: 600px) {
  .column {
    flex: 0 1 50%;
    padding: 0 1%;
  }
}

It sets the width of .column to 50% (instead of 25%), which results in a two-column layout instead of four columns for screens which are 600px wide or less.

* {
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

@media screen and(max-width:800px) {
  .column {
    flex: 50%;
    padding: 0 1%;
  }
}

body {
  width: 100%;
  margin: 0 auto;
  background-image: url("wallpaper2.jpg");
  background-repeat: repeat;
}

.header {
  width: 100%;
  background: black;
  height: 100px;
  color: white;
}

h1 {
  margin: 0 auto;
  position: relative;
  top: 30px;
  left: 15px;
  font-size: 2em;
  color: #f0c330;
}

ul {
  list-style-type: none;
  float: right;
  margin: auto;
  position: relative;
}

li {
  display: inline-block;
  padding-left: 20px;
  font-size: 1.4em;
}

.lastlist {
  padding-right: 65px;
}

.nav {
  text-decoration: none;
  color: #f0c330;
}

.nav:hover {
  color: white;
}

.wrapper {
  width: 75%;
  background: pink;
  margin: 0 auto;
  height: max-content;
  padding: 2%;
}

.row {
  display: flex;
  flex-wrap: wrap;
