Bootstrap Navigation Bar - Vertical, expected Horizontal

Question

Using essentially the same css classes that are used on the twitter bootstrap site itself (and many other places), my horizontal navbar becomes vertical. I have the same div layout and classes (except the bs-* classes) as on the bootstrap page.

I hacked around this once by changing various settings from "block" to "inline" and such but there must be a better solution. Please advise.

Navbar html:

<nav class="navbar navbar-default">
  <div class="container-fluid">
    <!-- 
         <div class = "navbar-header">
             <a class = "navbar-brand"> Home </a>
         </div>
    -->
    <div class="collapse navbar-collapse">
      <ul class="nav navbar-nav">
        <li class="active">
          <a href="">Followers</a>
        </li>
        <li>
          <a href="">Posts</a>
        </li>
      </ul>
    </div>
  </div>
</nav>

If you're using Bootstrap 4, then use a Bootstrap 4 Navbar: http://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.1/components/navbar/ — Carol Skelly, Jun 15 '18 at 10:43

This has been copied from bootstrap's navbar documentation. And hence it is responsive by default (show the preview in full-screen to by clicking Full page button on top right corner of the preview). If you don't require Branding to be there, you will just need to remove <a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Branding</a>.

More information about bootstrap 4's navbar can be found here - https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/components/navbar/
