I can't understand why this nested grid row has the space above it. I want to align it to the center. I'd like to just select and align to center much like Excel.
I have a fluid container with a nested grid row with three columns and another grid row nested in the first column, but its like I've pressed return and there's a space above it.
TIA!

In Bootstrap 5 I would like to achieve reordering columns between desktop and mobile like on this picture
I have tried the order classes and workaround with position: absolute, but that does not work as I would like to.
I also found there was somebody trying to achieve the same, but probably with old bootstrap and without a satisfying solution (I would like to avoid float). Also, green plus red part can have higher height than blue one.
The simple code without reordering is here:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap#5.1.3/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-1BmE4kWBq78iYhFldvKuhfTAU6auU8tT94WrHftjDbrCEXSU1oBoqyl2QvZ6jIW3" crossorigin="anonymous">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-12 col-xxl-6">
<div style="height:20px; background-color:green;"></div>
</div>
<div class="col-12 col-xxl-6">
<div style="height:60px; background-color:blue;"></div>
</div>
<div class="col-12 col-xxl-6">
<div style="height:40px; background-color:red;"></div>
</div>
</div>
You can use the display: flex property, in bootstrap it would be the classes with.flex- *
https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.0/utilities/flex/
and to better understand how the display: flex works
https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/a-guide-to-flexbox/
You can do this by duplicating the green section using different .d-* display utility classes. The first instance should be hidden above the breakpoint with .d-xxl-none and the second instance should be hidden below the breakpoint with .d-none and shown above with .d-xxl-block:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap#5.1.3/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" integrity="sha384-1BmE4kWBq78iYhFldvKuhfTAU6auU8tT94WrHftjDbrCEXSU1oBoqyl2QvZ6jIW3" crossorigin="anonymous">

Important! Vertical center is relative to the height of the parent
If the parent of the element you're trying to center has no defined
height, none of the vertical centering solutions will work!
Now, onto vertical centering...
Bootstrap 5 (Updated 2021)
Bootstrap 5 is still flexbox based so vertical centering works the same way as Bootstrap 4. For example, align-items-center, justify-content-center or auto margins can used on the flexbox parent (row or d-flex).
use align-items-center on a flexbox row parent (row or d-flex)
use justify-content-center on a flexbox column parent (d-flex flex-column)
use my-auto on a flexbox parent
Vertical Center in Bootstrap 5
Bootstrap 4
You can use the new flexbox & size utilities to make the container full-height and display: flex. These options don't require extra CSS (except that the height of the container (ie:html,body) must be 100%).
Option 1 align-self-center on flexbox child
<div class="container d-flex h-100">
<div class="row justify-content-center align-self-center">
I'm vertically centered
</div>
</div>
https://codeply.com/go/fFqaDe5Oey
Option 2 align-items-center on flexbox parent (.row is display:flex; flex-direction:row)
<div class="container h-100">
<div class="row align-items-center h-100">
<div class="col-6 mx-auto">
<div class="jumbotron">
I'm vertically centered
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
https://codeply.com/go/BumdFnmLuk
Option 3 justify-content-center on flexbox parent (.card is display:flex;flex-direction:column)
<div class="container h-100">
<div class="row align-items-center h-100">
<div class="col-6 mx-auto">
<div class="card h-100 border-primary justify-content-center">

More on Bootstrap 4 Vertical Centering
Now that Bootstrap 4 offers flexbox and other utilities, there are many approaches to vertical
alignment. http://www.codeply.com/go/WG15ZWC4lf
1 - Vertical Center Using Auto Margins:
Another way to vertically center is to use my-auto. This will center the element within it's container. For example, h-100 makes the row full height, and my-auto will vertically center the col-sm-12 column.
<div class="row h-100">
<div class="col-sm-12 my-auto">
<div class="card card-block w-25">Card</div>
</div>
</div>
Vertical Center Using Auto Margins Demo
my-auto represents margins on the vertical y-axis and is equivalent to:
margin-top: auto;
margin-bottom: auto;
2 - Vertical Center with Flexbox:
Since Bootstrap 4 .row is now display:flex you can simply use align-self-center on any column to vertically center it...
<div class="row">
<div class="col-6 align-self-center">
<div class="card card-block">
Center
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-6">
<div class="card card-inverse card-danger">
Taller
</div>
</div>
</div>
or, use align-items-center on the entire .row to vertically center align all col-* in the row...
<div class="row align-items-center">
<div class="col-6">
<div class="card card-block">
Center
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-6">
<div class="card card-inverse card-danger">
Taller
</div>
</div>
</div>
Vertical Center Different Height Columns Demo
See this Q/A to center, but maintain equal height
3 - Vertical Center Using Display Utils:
Bootstrap 4 has display utils that can be used for display:table, display:table-cell, display:inline, etc.. These can be used with the vertical alignment utils to align inline, inline-block or table cell elements.
<div class="row h-50">
<div class="col-sm-12 h-100 d-table">
<div class="card card-block d-table-cell align-middle">
I am centered vertically
</div>
</div>
</div>

Important! Did I mention height?
Remember vertical centering is relative to the height of the parent element. If you want to center on the entire page, in most cases, this should be your CSS...
body,html {
height: 100%;
}
Or use min-height: 100vh (min-vh-100 in Bootstrap 4.1+) on the parent/container. If you want to center a child element inside the parent. The parent must have a defined height.
Also see:
Vertical alignment in bootstrap 4
Bootstrap Center Vertical and Horizontal Alignment
you can vertically align your container by making the parent container flex and adding align-items:center:
body {
display:flex;
align-items:center;
}
Updated Pen
Using bootstrap version 5 or later, use the code below to center the content horizontally and vertically.
<div class="vh-100 d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center">
<h1>Centered horizontally and vertically!</h1>
</div>
Following bootstrap 4 classes helped me solve this
<div class="col text-center justify-content-center align-self-center">
<img width=3rem src=".." alt="...">
</div>
Because none of the above worked for me, I am adding another answer.
Goal: To vertically and horizontally align a div on a page using bootstrap 4 flexbox classes.
Step 1: Set your outermost div to a height of 100vh. This sets the height to 100% of the Veiwport Height. If you don't do this, nothing else will work. Setting it to a height of 100% is only relative to the parent, so if the parent is not the full height of the viewport, nothing will work. In the example below, I set the Body to 100vh.
Step 2: Set the container div to be the flexbox container with the d-flex class.
Step 3: Center div horizontally with the justify-content-center class.
Step 4: Center div vertically with the align-items-center
Step 5: Run page, view your vertically and horizontally centered div.
Note that there is no special class that needs to be set on the centered div itself (the child div)
<body style="background-color:#f2f2f2; height:100vh;">
<div class="h-100 d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center">
<div style="height:600px; background-color:white; width:600px;">
</div>
</div>
</body>
I did it this way with Bootstrap 4.3.1:
<div class="d-flex vh-100">
<div class="d-flex w-100 justify-content-center align-self-center">
I'm in the middle
</div>
</div>
.jumbotron {
position: relative;
top: 50%;
transform: translateY(-50%);
}
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6">
<img src="/assets/images/ebook2.png" alt="" class="img-fluid">
</div>
<div class="col-md-6 my-auto">
<h3>Heading</h3>
<p>Some text.</p>
</div>
</div>
This line is where the magic happens <div class="col-md-6 my-auto">, the my-auto will center the content of the column. This works great with situations like the code sample above where you might have a variable sized image and need to have the text in the column to the right line up with it.
I've tried all the answers herefrom, but found out here is the difference between h-100 and vh-100
Here is my solution:
<div className='container vh-100 d-flex align-items-center col justify-content-center'>
<div className="">
...
</div>
</div >
<div class="col-lg-5 col-sm-5 offset-1 d-flex">
<div class="offer-txt justify-content-center align-self-center">
<span class="inner-title">Our Offer</span>
<h2 class="section-title">Today’s Special </h2>
<p>One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into vermin. He lay on his armour-like back, and if he lifted his head a little he could see his brown belly.</p>

In Bootstrap 4 (beta), use align-middle. Refer to Bootstrap 4 Documentation on Vertical alignment:
Change the alignment of elements with the vertical-alignment
utilities. Please note that vertical-align only affects inline,
inline-block, inline-table, and table cell elements.
Choose from .align-baseline, .align-top, .align-middle, .align-bottom,
.align-text-bottom, and .align-text-top as needed.

Vertical align Using this bootstrap 4 classes:
Method1:
parent: d-table
AND
child: d-table-cell & align-middle & text-center
eg:
<div class="tab-icon-holder d-table bg-light">
<div class="d-table-cell align-middle text-center">
<img src="assets/images/devices/Xl.png" height="30rem">
</div>
</div>
and if you want parent be circle:
<div class="tab-icon-holder d-table bg-light rounded-circle">
<div class="d-table-cell align-middle text-center">
<img src="assets/images/devices/Xl.png" height="30rem">
</div>
</div>
which two custom css classes are as follow:
.tab-icon-holder {
width: 3.5rem;
height: 3.5rem;
}
.rounded-circle {
border-radius: 50% !important
}
Final usage can be like for example:
<div class="col-md-5 mx-auto text-center">
<div class="d-flex justify-content-around">
<div class="tab-icon-holder d-table bg-light rounded-circle">
<div class="d-table-cell align-middle text-center">
<img src="assets/images/devices/Xl.png" height="30rem">
</div>
</div>
<div class="tab-icon-holder d-table bg-light rounded-circle">
<div class="d-table-cell align-middle text-center">
<img src="assets/images/devices/Lg.png" height="30rem">
</div>
</div>
...
</div>
</div>
Method2:
You can use following:
parent: h-100 d-table mx-auto
AND
child: d-table-cell align-middle
Method3:
You can use following:
parent: d-flext align-items-center
also if you want content be center horisontally too:
parent: d-flext align-items-center justify-content-center
bootstrap 5 and blazor web assembly:
<div class="d-flex align-items-center justify-content-center min" style="height: 50vh">
<button class="btn btn-outline-success mx-2">Register</button>
<button class="btn btn-outline-primary mx-2" style="width:123.44px">Login</button></div>
/*You have to add height 100vh */
Center
use .my-auto (bootsrap4) css class on yor div
Place your content within a flexbox container that is 100% high i.e h-100. Then justify the content centrally by using justify-content-center class.
<section class="container h-100 d-flex justify-content-center">
<div class="jumbotron my-auto">
<h1 class="display-3">Hello, Malawi!</h1>
</div>
</section>
in Bootstrap 5 we can do it easily. Below is an example to align card. We just have to set the card width, then the rest setting are using bootstrap 5 class.
<div class="container d-flex vh-100">
<div class="row mx-auto">
<div class="col align-self-center p-4">
<div class="card rounded-3 shadow-sm p-3" style="width:400px">
<div class="card-body">
<h1>I'am centered vertically and horizontally</h1>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
For all Bootstrap versions 2, 3, 4 and 5 with only two custom classes suitable with any height and width.
.d_tbl{
display:table;
width:100%;
height:200px;
}
.d_tblCel{
vertical-align: middle;

My idea is to have the junction (a line) always be the center of a row via absolute/relative positioning, with lower z-index than what those color blocks have so that the line is hidden behind the blocks but shown between the blocks.
The tricky part is accurately calculate the position of the junction line, due to the fact that bootstrap rows have their own paddings. That's why it's better to use SCSS so that you can read bootstrap default values for row and column settings, and calculate the junction line based on those.
But for demo purpose, I will stick with CSS and "hardcode" the pre-configured values from bootstrap.
HTML Structure
<div class="row junction-row">
<div class="col-6 col-sm-3">
<div class="block bg-primary"></div>
</div>
</div class="col-6 col-sm-4 offset-sm-5">
<div class="block bg-danger"></div>
</div>
</div>
CSS
.junction-row {
height: 6rem;
position: relative;
}
.junction-row::after {
content: '';
position: absolute;
background-color: var(--danger);
height: 5%;
// Default bootstrap row's padding is 1rem.
// Width = 100% - left padding of the row - right padding of the row
width: calc(100% - 2rem);
// Top = total height 100% - the height of the line, and then divide by 2
// to have the line stay in the center of the row.
top: calc((100% - 5%) / 2);
// Left = starting after the row's left padding
left: 1rem;
// Any value here, but it needs to be lower than what .block has
z-index: 1;
}
.block {
position: relative;
height: 6rem;
z-index: 2;
}

I don't believe you can have this and have your column sizes at 6 each. I can think of 2 ways. Make them 5 and use this. This comes from their documentation on the grid system.
https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/layout/grid/
<div class="row justify-content-between">
<div class="col-5">
One of two columns
</div>
<div class="col-5">
One of two columns
</div>
</div>
Or if you don't mind that junction being static width then you could do this. Effectively making the junction width static and each side equal in the remaining width.
<div class="row">
<div class="col">
1 of 2
</div>
<div class="col-auto" style="width:30px"></div>
<div class="col">
2 of 2
</div>
</div>
I'm trying to make some space / gap between 2x col-sm-6 inside an row. Have tried some methods from earlier posts here from Stack Overflow, but none seem to make the right result.
What I have tried:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-6">
<div class="col-md-12 contentpage3">
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-6">
<div class="col-md-12 contentpage3">
</div>
</div>
</div>
Well... this creates the right spacing, but then the left and right sides are not allign with the rest of the page content. To help you guys understand what I'm trying to explain, here is a picture.
Here you can see that the upper white content, the width is what I'm trying to keep for all the elements inside the page. I know its because the extra div I added, because the following code is producing the upper white content box you see in the picture, but then there is no spacing. Have also tried with col-md-5 and an offset of 2 but this creates too much spacing.
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-6 contentpage3">
</div>
<div class="col-sm-6 contentpage3">
</div>
</div>
What am I doing wrong?
You can do something like this.
All .col-* elements should be inside row elements.
All .col-* elements should contain content, not be content.
.example {
padding-bottom: 15px;
background: #ccc;
}
.example > .row > div {
margin-top: 15px;
}
.example .inside {
height: 50px;
background: #fff;
border: 1px solid #eee;
