Media queries not getting applied to any screen size - css

I'm trying to create mobile first approach media queries. But in chrome dev screen simulator, I notice that the background color red shows up for all the screen size.
body{
background-color: black;
margin: 0;
}
#media (min-width:576px) {
body{
background-color: green;
margin: 0;
}
}
#media (min-width:768px) {
body{
background-color: red;
margin: 0;
}
}
#media (min-width:992px) {
body{
background-color: pink;
margin: 0;
}
}
#media (min-width:1200px) {
body{
background-color: blue;
margin: 0;
}
}

SCSS to CSS - how to fix media queries

used 'scss to css' converter but have problems about media queries.
I was using 'codepen.io' site to use templates on my practice page. The css part was made with scss and I converted to css with 'scss to css' online converter. I have no idea to fix the problem of media queries inside h1 css class. how can I fix this in css?
h1 {
font-size: 4em;
margin: 0;
padding: 0 0 15px 0;
#media (min-width: 400px) {
font-size: 4.5em;
}
#media (min-width: 440px) {
font-size: 5.5em;
}
#media (min-width: 500px) {
font-size: 6.5em;
}
#media (min-width: 630px) {
font-size: 7.5em;
}
#media (min-width: 768px) {
font-size: 9em;
padding-bottom: 15px * 2;
}
#media (min-width: 1200px) {
font-size: 12em;
}
}
you need to write valid css media query
h1 {
font-size: 4em;
margin: 0;
padding: 0 0 15px 0;
}
#media (min-width: 400px) {
h1 {
font-size: 4.5em;
}
}
#media (min-width: 440px) {
h1 {
font-size: 5.5em;
}
}
// ...keep going like this
in the css you can not set style for media in one tag styling.
for example for h1:
h1{
font-size: 4em;
margin: 0;
padding: 0 0 15px 0;
}
h2{
color: red;
}
#media (min-width: 1200px) {
h1 {
font-size: 12em;
}
h2{
color: blue;
}
}
I've converted your css with https://www.sassmeister.com/ and all works as expected, the generated css is valid.
h1 {
font-size: 4em;
margin: 0;
padding: 0 0 15px 0;
}
#media (min-width: 400px) {
h1 {
font-size: 4.5em;
}
}
#media (min-width: 440px) {
h1 {
font-size: 5.5em;
}
}
#media (min-width: 500px) {
h1 {
font-size: 6.5em;
}
}
#media (min-width: 630px) {
h1 {
font-size: 7.5em;
}
}
#media (min-width: 768px) {
h1 {
font-size: 9em;
padding-bottom: 30px;
}
}
#media (min-width: 1200px) {
h1 {
font-size: 12em;
}
}
If you want to work with sass (.scss) you can convert your source to .css also from command line using cli like dart:
https://sass-lang.com/dart-sass
Or if you want there are a lot of other software the do a real time conversion in a lot of programming language.

How to adjust the Width of the Mobile Site of Wordpress

I created this website and i have a problem with the mobile site. Which it does not fit to the content. How do i need to fix this? i have attached the css of the responsive below.
I have tried several codes. But it does not fit to the content. The website is smaller than the device. And making the width 100% did not work.
Thanks in Advance
#media only screen and (max-width: 600px) {
.content-area {
float: center;
width: 100%;
}
.social-navigation li a::before,
.sidebar-toggle {
font-size: 16px;
}

height: 46px;
}
.site-title {
font-size: 32px !important;

White space at right of page

My page has a white space on the right side when using margins and padding in the mobile view.
My page:

margin: 15px; } }

Second #media query triggers error

I can't figure out where there's an error in the following CSS:
#media all and (min-width: 570px) and (max-width: 970px) {
.contain {
padding: 0 0 0;
}
.two {
display: none;
width: 0;
margin-right: 0;
}
.two .tube {
padding: 0 0 0;
}
nav#primary .contain {
padding: 0 240px 0 0;
margin: 0 auto;
}
nav#primary .contain .two {
display: inherit;
width: 240px;
margin-right: -240px;
}
}
/*
* Keep headers in proportion
*/
#media all and (min-width: 971px) and (max-width: 1060) {
header#mast h1 {
font-size: 3.2em;
}
}
The first #media query works, the second #media block is ignored. The W3C CSS Validator complaints that "only 0 can be a length. You must put a unit after your number ) { header#mast h1 { font-size: 1em; } }".
Am I missing something really obvious?
Where is the HTML ?
Well... Here is a version of what you wrote without all of the unnecessary or redundant parts. But I can't test it without the HTML.
#media (min-width: 570px) { /* =========START=== */
.contain {
padding: 0;
}
.two {
display: none;
width: 0;
margin-right: 0;
}
.two .tube {
padding: 0;
}
.primary .contain {
padding: 0 240px 0 0;
margin: 0 auto;
}
.primary .contain .two {
width: 240px;
margin-right: -240px;
}
} /* =====================================END=== */
#media (min-width: 971px) { /* =========START=== */
.mast h1 {
font-size: 3.2em;
}
} /* =====================================END=== */

Media Queries not overriding native styles?

I'm wondering why some of my media queries are not overriding the native styles at the view port their being called. I'm trying to restyle a menu responsively, to stack, and have the navigation area's height longer in a WP theme. But every which way I add the specs I create to get this effect via editing Live CSS in Safari or FF inspect element - the styles I insert under the specific viewport I'm targeting are not being read. I know I'm using media queries correctly as it reads NEW styles, just doesn't override native? I'm missing something here? Here's what I'm trying to add that won't read.
#media only screen and (min-device-width: 320px) and (max-device-width: 480px) {
#access li {
    float: none; // To translate to not to float to the left stack
    position: relative;
}
#access {
    background: url("http://testsite.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/menu_bg.gif") repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
    box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4);
    clear: both;
    display: block;
    float: left;
    height: 240px; //Changed the height to allow stack
    width: 100%;
}
Edit: Here's the FULL set of Responsive styles I'm calling, if matters.

The CSS code from your post is not working because it's a device-specific style and you are viewing it on a Safari, Chrome or Firefox using a laptop/desktop. You are forgetting that Media Queries are giving you the possibility to apply different styles when a page is being displayed in a 'browser' - resized to 480px and on an iPhone (which has a max-device-width of 480px).
Example CSS:
/* max-width */
#media screen and (max-width: 480px) {
.one {
background: #F9C;
}
}
/* min-width & max-width */
#media screen and (min-width: 480px) and (max-width: 900px) {
.two {
background: #9CF;
}
}
/* min-width */
#media screen and (min-width: 900px) {
.three {
background: #F90;
}
}
/* iphone specific css */
#media screen and (max-device-width: 480px) {
.iphone {
background: #ccc;
}
}
In the example above you can target both and still have a separate style for your device of choice. If you want to test it in a browser just use the min-width or max-width properties.
Hope this helps.
On the top example there's a missing closing bracket.
#media only screen and (min-device-width: 320px) and (max-device-width: 480px) {
#access li {
float: none; // To translate to not to float to the left stack
position: relative;
}
#access {
background: url("http://testsite.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/menu_bg.gif") repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.4);
clear: both;
display: block;
float: left;
height: 240px; //Changed the height to allow stack
width: 100%;
}
}
