Third @media max-width not working in css

Question

so im trying to build out a website for different screen sizes. now ive included a card section into this that is included into my website. now when my screen is at full size eg >1300px in width it should be 5 wide now when it gets to 1300px wide i dont want it to change but when it gets to 1024px wide i wanted it to drop down to 3 wide which it does however as soon as i get to the 614px wide section i want it to activate and change the amounnt of displays per row to two rather than the 3 when the screen size is greater than 614px wide.

5 wide so this is how i wanted it to look when the screen was > 1024px wide which it does

3 wide once i get to < 1024px wide it goes to 3 wide just fine

should be 2 wide But as soon as i go past that 614px wide mark the @media screen and (max-width: 614px) dosent kick in for some reason however if i change it to @media screen and (min-width: 614px) the media changes do affect it but it stops the rest of the media effects from working ive even tried switching around other media effects min and max values nothing i seem to do can get them to work all indivually

I have tried just about everything on stack and am just at a loss for where to go with this any help would be apreciated if you want the full css file i can paste it here or anything else from my files thats referenced i can include i just have a feeling that its with the @media querys itself.

Answer 1

For your desired layout the best solution is a grid, with media queries controlling the number of columns.

When writing stylesheets, best practice is to follow a mobile-first approach. Start with the mobile styles, then add media queries where necessary to specify styles for wider screens, in increasing order of width.

body {
  background: #888;
}

.d1 {
  display: grid;
  grid-template-columns: repeat(2, 1fr);
  gap: 1em;
}

@media (min-width: 600px) {
  .d1 {
    grid-template-columns: repeat(3, 1fr);
  }
}

@media (min-width: 1000px) {
  .d1 {
    grid-template-columns: repeat(5, 1fr);
  }
}

.d1>div {
  background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.85) ;
  padding: 1em;
  transition: ease 0.5s;
}

img {
  display: block;
  width: 170px;
  max-width: 100%;
  aspect-ratio: 1/1;
  object-fit: contain;
  margin: auto;
  justify-content: center;
  transition: ease 0.5s;
}

h2 {
  font-size: 30px;
  font-family: 'Oswald', sans-serif;
  color: #232323;
}

p {
  font-size: 25px;
  font-family: 'Oswald', sans-serif;
  color: #C49954;
}

a {
  border: 20px #C49954;
  padding: 2px;
}

hr {
  border: 2px solid #C49954;
  width: 50%;
  transition: ease 0.5s;
}

.d1>div:hover hr {
  border: 2px solid #C49954;
  width: 75%;
  transition: ease 0.5s;
}
.d1>div:hover {
  background-color: #FFFFFF;
  transition: ease 0.5s;
}
.d1>div:hover img {
  transform: scale(1.1);
  transition: ease 0.5s;
  z-index: -1;
}
.d1>div:hover h2 {
  transform: scale(1.03);
  transition: ease 0.5s;
}
.d1>div:hover p {
  transform: scale(1.03);
  transition: ease 0.5s;
}
.d1>div:hover a {
  transform: scale(1.03);
  transition: ease 0.5s;
}

<div class="d1">
