I made a grid in Bootstrap but the columns are aligning vertically, not horizontally, how do I fix this issue?

My code looks like this:

<div class="container"><!--images container-->
          <figure class="row justify-content-center">
            <img class="skillsIamge col-md-2" src="" alt="Image of HTML icon."/><!--HTML-->
            <figcaption></figcaption>

            <img class="skillsIamge col-md-2" src="" alt="Image of CSS icon."/><!--CSS-->
            <figcaption></figcaption>

            <img class="skillsImage col-md-2" src="" alt="Image of Sass icon."/><!--Sass-->
            <figcaption></figcaption>

            <img class="skillsImage col-md-2" src="" alt="Image of JavaScript icon."/><!--JS-->
            <figcaption></figcaption>

            <img class="skillsImage col-md-2" src="" alt="Image of inDesign icon."/><!--InDesign-->
            <figcaption></figcaption>
          </figure>
        </div>

Hi Melissa Benton have you tried wrapping div elements around each set of img and figcaption elements and adding the col-md-2 class to those div elements instead? Also, the general HTML markup is not completely valid with the current code and suggestion. I generally recommend that you take a new look at structuring your HTML around the grid layout example for bootstrap. I can't advise since I don't know what it is you are trying to build for the end goal!

Having said that, It would be beneficial to see the whole scope of your code to debug further, as it's generally hard to identify if there is anything else related to the code (e.g. CSS) that we can't see in this small snippet you've shared. I would recommend sharing a workspace or a codepen link if it's too big of scope, otherwise a couple of formatted snippets for the html and css respectively.

Thank you Jamie, your answer is helpful. The figcaption tags were throwing off the grid layout. I deleted them because I didn’t really need them and the img elements align horizontally as desired.
