Components going under the navbar

Question

My container elements like paragraphs, header and buttons are going under my navbar. The navbar has the property of fixed-top. I have used previous suggestions from other stackoverflow posts like this (twitter bootstrap navbar fixed top overlapping site). But nothing seems to work for me.Here is my navbar code.

<nav class="navbar navbar-expand-md navbar-dark bg-dark fixed-top">
        <div class="container">
            <a class="navbar-brand text-white" href="#"> Bacon Bacon</a>
            <button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarsExampleDefault" aria-controls="navbarsExampleDefault" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation">
                <span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
            </button>
            <div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarsExampleDefault">
                <ul class="navbar-nav ml-auto">
                    <li class="nav-item active">
                        <a class="nav-link text-white" href="#">Home</a>
                    </li>
                    <li class="nav-item">
                        <a class="nav-link text-white" href="#">About Us</a>
                    </li>
                    <li class="nav-item">
                        <a class="nav-link text-white" href="#">Services</a>
                    </li>
                    <li class="nav-item">
                        <a class="nav-link text-white" href="#">Products</a>
                    </li>
                    <li class="nav-item">
                        <a class="nav-link text-white" href="#">Contact</a>
                    </li>
                </ul>
            </div>
        </div>
    </nav>

My container code

 <div class="container-fluid bg-overlay">
    <div class="row text-center">
        <h1>Loren Inpsum</h1>
        <h4>Loren Inpsum Loren Inpsum Loren Inpsum Loren Inpsum </h4>
        <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary btn-lg">Get Started</button>
    </div>
</div>

My CSS

 @media (max-width: 979px) {
            body {
              padding-top: 70px;
            }
}


          .navbar { 
            margin-bottom:0px;
            background: #FFFFFF;
            border-color: #FFFFFF;
            padding-bottom:0px;
          }


          .bg-overlay {
            background: linear-gradient(rgba(0,0,0,.7), rgba(0,0,0,.7)), url("https://unsplash.imgix.net/photo-1416339442236-8ceb164046f8?q=75&fm=jpg&s=8eb83df8a744544977722717b1ea4d09");
            background-repeat: no-repeat;
            text-align:center;
            background-size: cover;
            background-position: center center;
            color: #fff;
            height: 450px;
            padding-top: 0px;
  }

            div.container-fluid bg-overlay{
              margin-bottom:30px;


            }

It's useful to read the [docs](http://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/components/navbar/#placement) - it recommends using `padding-top` on the `` to prevent overlap. — fen1x, Nov 16 '17 at 05:57

The only thing you need to addpadding-top outside of MQ.

body {
  padding-top: 60px;
}
 @media (max-width: 979px) {
            body {
              padding-top: 70px;
            }
}


          .navbar { 
            margin-bottom:0px;
            background: #FFFFFF;
            border-color: #FFFFFF;
            padding-bottom:0px;
          }


          .bg-overlay {
            background: linear-gradient(rgba(0,0,0,.7), rgba(0,0,0,.7)), url("https://unsplash.imgix.net/photo-1416339442236-8ceb164046f8?q=75&fm=jpg&s=8eb83df8a744544977722717b1ea4d09");
            background-repeat: no-repeat;
            text-align:center;
            background-size: cover;
            background-position: center center;
            color: #fff;
            height: 450px;
            padding-top: 0px;
  }

            div.container-fluid bg-overlay{
              margin-bottom:30px;


            }

You were writing padding inside media query which applies only for that specific screen width(here 0 to 979px) . Accept this answer if it helped you. — Bharath Kumar, Nov 16 '17 at 08:53
