return [
‘tablet’ => 900,

Troubleshooting
= My CSS is not applying. What should I check? =
– Make sure you used selector for widget-scoped rules.
– Confirm your CSS syntax is valid.
– Clear Elementor and site cache after changes.
– Check whether another CSS plugin is overriding the same styles.
Responsive styles look different than expected. Why?
Check your media query logic and verify custom breakpoints if your project overrides defaults.
