 * Hello there!
 * Sorry, this is a css-question, not really wordpress related
    but I couldn’t find
   a good css-forum… So Im new to flexbox and trying to realise a simple layout,
   where my list of articles begins under my slider, but the second element (my 
   list of articles) seems to not be a direct child of my flex although in the html
   its just the slider and the articles each in their own div and the whole thing
   inside my flex-div
 * Here’s the html:
 *     ```
       <div class="lay-main" >
   
       		 	<div class="myslider">
               	<?php get_template_part('template-parts/content/content', 'slider' ); ?>
            		</div>	
   
       		 	<div class="article-excerpt">
       		 	<?php get_template_part('template-parts/content/content', 'short-article' ); ?> 
            		</div>
       		 </div>
       ```
   
 * and here’s the css:
 *     ```
       .lay-main{
       	display: flex;
       	flex-direction: column;
       	justify-content: flex-start;
       }
       ```
   
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fflexbox-doesnt-recognize-second-element%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_
