I can't seem to get the navbar logo to centre align with the nav-links centre below it. I'm sure I'm missing something simple, I've checked out a few other posts regarding this issue but all seem to be using older versions of bootstrap. I am currently using bootstrap 4.0.

Specifically, I want the logo on its own separate row, not on the same one as the links.

<nav class="navbar navbar-expand-lg navbar-light bg-light">
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#"><img src="img/h-tech-logo-cropped.png"/></a>
<button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarNav" aria-controls="navbarNav" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation">
  <span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
</button>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarNav">
  <ul class="navbar-nav">
    <li class="nav-item">
      <a class="nav-link" href="#">Home <span class="sr-only">(current)</span></a>
    </li>
    <li class="nav-item">
      <a class="nav-link" href="#">Our Services</a>
    </li>
    <li class="nav-item">
      <a class="nav-link" href="#">About Us</a>
    </li>
    <li class="nav-item">
      <a class="nav-link disabled" href="#">Gallery</a>
    </li>
    <li class="nav-item">
      <a class="nav-link disabled" href="#">Contact Us</a>
    </li>
  </ul>
</div>

    Yes, like that. My question has been marked as duplicate, but it is not as I want the logo to be on its own row like you have demonstrated. – c.gooderham94 Mar 29 '18 at 12:01
  • @ZimSystem this question is *not* a duplicate. It wants something completely different doing than suggested in said duplicate. – Script47 Mar 29 '18 at 14:13

    I have re-opened, but I think the means will be as same as the other question. It also looks as if there wasn't any effort to center the links or put content on separate rows. – Carol Skelly Mar 29 '18 at 14:35

It's a matter of using the flexbox and auto-margin utils as explained in the many other "Bootstrap 4 Navbar Center" questions...

  • The navbar is display:flex so use flex-column to make content stack
  • Use mx-auto for auto x-axis margins to center.

    Yes it does, thats fantastic thank-you. I think I may be struggling to use the correct search terms. I'm fairly new to stack overflow so I will definitely work on getting better at checking for existing posts. – c.gooderham94 Mar 30 '18 at 15:16
