CONV1D NEURAL NETWORK SHAPE

Question

model = Sequential()
model.add(Conv1D(filters=4, kernel_size=(1), activation="relu", input_shape=(4,1)))
model.add(MaxPooling1D(pool_size=(1)))
model.add(Dropout(0.25))
model.add(Conv1D(filters=32, kernel_size=(1), activation='relu'))
model.add(MaxPooling1D(pool_size=(1)))
model.add(Dropout(0.25))
model.add(Conv1D(filters=64, kernel_size=(1), activation="relu"))
model.add(MaxPooling1D(pool_size=(1)))
model.add(Dropout(0.25))
model.add(Conv1D(filters=64, kernel_size=(1), activation='relu'))
model.add(MaxPooling1D(pool_size=(1)))
model.add(Dropout(0.25))
model.add(Flatten())
model.add(Dense(128, activation='relu'))
model.add(Dropout(0.5))
model.add(Dense(64, activation='relu'))
model.add(Dropout(0.5))
model.add(Flatten())
model.add(Dense(7, activation='sigmoid'))
model.compile(optimizer='adam', loss='binary_crossentropy', metrics=['accuracy'])

Hello, I'm new to building neural networks and decided to try my hand solving a multi-label classification problem. I'm take four feature values as input and giving the resulting classification as one or more of 7 categories. As such, I decided to implement the neural network as seen above. However, upon fitting the model

model.fit(X_train, y_train, epochs = 10, validation_data = (X_test,y_test), batch_size = 64)

I receive this error:

Error when checking input: expected conv1d_92_input to have 3 dimensions, but got array with shape (415, 4)

I'm confused as to watch to do in order to get the neural network to fit to the data. The shape of feature and label data respectively are: X_train = (414,4) y_train = (413,7)

I believe you might find this previous stack stackoverflow post (It seems to be addressing your question) helpful: Error when checking model input: expected lstm_1_input to have 3 dimensions, but got array with shape (339732, 29)
