Oops it looks like Task 2 is no longer passing. Error message.

Well that is an annoying error. Everytime I get to Task 5 and try to check it , this message occurs:" Oops it looks like Task 2 is no longer passing." When I turn to Task 2 and check it , it is correct. I redid it 2 times ,everything goes perfect until Task 5 when it appears the same error message. Could you please give me a piece of advice?

.primary-content{
  padding-top: 25px;
  padding-bottom: 95px;
}
.wildlife{
  border-top:solid orange 10px;
  margin-top: 105px;
}
.secondary-content{
  padding-top: 80px;
  padding-bottom: 70px;
  border: dotted lightgrey 2px;
}

  padding: 25px 0 95px 0;
}
.wildlife{
  border-top:solid orange 10px;
  margin: 105px 0 0 0;
}
.secondary-content{
  padding: 80px 0 70px 0;
  border: 2px dotted lightgrey;
}

I believe I've ran into this before. The challenge really wants the pixels to be written out before the rest of the values. You also have an issue with your border: dotted lightgrey 2px; property, as the challenge asks for this to be a border-bottom.

Try the values rearranged as they are below -

.primary-content {
  padding-top: 25px;
  padding-bottom: 95px;
}
.wildlife {
  border-top: 10px solid orange;
  margin-top: 105px;
}
.secondary-content {
  padding-top: 80px;
  padding-bottom: 70px;
  border-bottom: 2px dotted lightgrey;
}
