media queries not working for medium range - twitter-bootstrap-3

I'm trying to change my website's body padding depending on the screen size, but the medium range does not work. The website still uses the body padding of the default mobile size. I have tried lowering the min-width from 768px to 767px or lower to see if that will change anything but it didn't. I cannot see what is wrong with the syntax. Have I missed something? Thank you.
body{
padding-bottom: 300px;
margin-bottom: 900px;
}
#media (min-width:768px) and (max-width: 991){
body{
padding-bottom: 300px;
margin-bottom: 500px;
}
}
#media (min-width:992px) {
body{
padding-bottom: 300px;
margin-bottom: 100px;
}
}
#media (min-width:768px){
/*more codes here....... */
}

Should be max-width: 991px
Also, your last query with "more codes..." can override your previous settings. What are they? if you set those properties here, you literally saying "Ok, apply these when the screen is larger than 768px". This is within your previous range and will be overridden.

I can't figure out why the header is not "responsive" in this "responsive" Wordpress theme

Here is the site-to-be (work in progress still)
http://www.fairhavenstorage.com/DRAFT
On a desktop screen it's fine, but on a mobile device, the site title and description do not budge. I added some custom CSS to allow the logo to display beside the site title - here is what I entered:
#logo .site-title, #logo .site-description {
display: block !important;
}
.site-title {margin-top: 26px;}
#logo img {
float: left;
margin-right: 20px;
}
#logo {
float: left;
width: 800px;
}
And for the image on the right side of header, I entered this:
.header-widget {
float: right;
width: 200px;
margin-top: 10px;
}
It's not looking good on my iPhone and I'm unsure what to do. If anyone can suggest a fix, that would be greatly appreciated!
try and deactvate or override existing css . There are #media queries in your existing css

Media query fails for only one property

I am unable to change padding for one element on mobile devices. The queries are working for several properties, but padding will not work (neither will line height if I try to use that). Basic styling in custom css is:
#topright {
font-size: 20px;
letter-spacing: 4px;
color: rgba(255,255,255,1.0);
padding-top: 8px !important;
padding-bottom: 8px !important;
font-weight: 200;
}
Media query for phone is
/* Custom, iPhone Retina */
#media only screen and (min-width : 320px) {
.header-2 .logo {
width: 250px;
}
.footer-widget ul li {
width: 100%;
}
.footer-widget ul {
padding-left: 0;
padding-right: 0;
}
div.vc_column-inner vc_custom_1476556729591 {
padding-left: 0;
padding-right: 0;
}
.footer-widget .textwidget p {
text-align: center;
}
#topright {
padding-top: 1px;
padding-bottom: 1px
}
}
The smaller padding number will not be applied. If I remove !important from main css, then the phone query gets applied to all devices. It's weird because all the other properties for the phone query are working fine.
From this helpful page on media queries, min-width: 320px means:
"If [device width] is greater than or equal to 320px, then do {...}"
In other words, the media query you think you created to target only iPhone will actually be firing for all devices which have a width of 320px or greater. Instead, I think you intended to use max-width
So use this CSS:
/* Custom, iPhone Retina */
#media only screen and (max-width : 320px) {
.header-2 .logo {
width: 250px;
}
...
#topright {
padding-top: 1px;
padding-bottom: 1px
}
}
And you should also remove the !important directives from your main.css file.

Bootstrap & LESS: importing mixins only as reference

I am using Bootstrap 3.0 & LESS 1.5. I'll be using the same bootstrap.css for many sites (or use their CDN). So I am using
#import (reference) "bootstrap-3.0.0/less/bootstrap.less";
#import (reference) "bootstrap-3.0.0/less/mixins.less";
to import only as reference.
My app.less has (among otherthings)
.herocontainer{
.make-row();
.iphoneblock{
.make-sm-column-offset(1);
.make-sm-column(4);
text-align: center;
}
.copyblock{
.make-sm-column(5);
text-align: center;
.copytext{
#media(min-width: #screen-sm) {
padding-top: 100px;
}
}
.buybutton{
.btn-lg;
.btn-primary;
background-color: #d6822f;
}
}
}
The resulting site is just single column output. But if I remove (reference) from the mixins, like:
#import (reference) "bootstrap-3.0.0/less/mixins.less";
then I get a two column responsive output, but the resulting css also has classes that I don't need.
So,
a) how do I get classes in css only for the ones that I write in app.less and not bloated with bootstrap classes
b) how do I go about debugging such css issues? (I do use Google chrome tools but this issue is more than I can understand/debug)
Thank you,
Joseph
Also see: https://stackoverflow.com/a/14463540/1596547. Which says:
No actual code will output from that file as CSS, but all becomes available to use as mixins.
In you case their will be a difference with for example make-sm-column() this mixin contains a media query definition. If you use (reference) when importing mixins.less this media query part is NOT include in your CSS.
// Generate the small columns
.make-sm-column(#columns; #gutter: #grid-gutter-width) {
position: relative;
// Prevent columns from collapsing when empty
min-height: 1px;
// Inner gutter via padding
padding-left: (#gutter / 2);
padding-right: (#gutter / 2);
// Calculate width based on number of columns available
#media (min-width: #screen-sm-min) {
float: left;
width: percentage((#columns / #grid-columns));
}
}
Will give:
.herocontainer {
position: relative;
min-height: 1px;
padding-left: 15px;
padding-right: 15px;
}
#media (min-width: 768px) {
.herocontainer {
float: left;
width: 33.33333333333333%;
}
}
With using (reference) you will only got:
.herocontainer {
position: relative;
min-height: 1px;
padding-left: 15px;
padding-right: 15px;
}
NOTE you also use btn-lg with came from buttons.less. For me it seems the best solution to reference button.less but not mixins.less (theoretical mixins should contain mixins only, so referencing should make any difference). Otherwise create a mixins.less with only the mixins you will need.
UPDATE
there is a bug Reference import not importing media queries
when a class in a referenced import calls a mixin from a not referenced import, the output of this mixin will be (unexpected) shown in your css. So in the answer above not using reference for mixins.less will indeed give a lot of unwanted classes

Line-height on nav in safari is different than every other browser

I have looked all over for a solution to this problem and nothing seems to work and I really don't want to use a hack if I can avoid it.
When I set the line-height to vertically center my nav it's centered everywhere but safari, it's sitting about 2px high. Here is the css for the nav bar:
nav {
padding: 0px;
margin: 0;
font-size: 16px;
height: 25px;
}
nav ul {
padding-left: 0px;
margin: 0;
line-height: 1.5em;
}
nav li{
display: inline;
text-transform: uppercase;
padding-right: 12px;
padding-left: 12px;
}
I've tried line-height in px, em, and % and it's still wrong in safari. Here is a screenshot of the correct nav position in firefox and the wrong position in safari.
Any help on this issue is much appreciated.
Some browser specific default styles could be interfering your defined styles. (Inherited styles, default more specifically defined styles for certain elements...)
For homogenous behavior in all browsers, use a CSS reset and define all the needed styles properly, not depending on browsers' defaults.
