How to Fix Bootstrap Columns Not Aligning Side-by-Side Effectively

If you've been working with Bootstrap 4 and found that your columns are not aligning side by side as intended, you're not alone. This common issue typically arises from a few missed details in your code. In this guide, we'll identify the problem and explore a solution to ensure your Bootstrap columns display correctly in the same row.

Understanding the Issue

In your case, the columns are meant to be displayed side by side under a section labeled "testimonials." However, when using the class col-md-5 for both columns, they end up stacking on top of each other instead of aligning beside one another. This happens because the total width defined by Bootstrap's grid system must add up to 12 for the columns to sit next to each other comfortably.

Common Mistakes to Avoid:

Using an incorrect total for column classes (e.g., 5 + 5 = 10 instead of 12).

Incorrectly applying Bootstrap's row class, which is crucial for proper alignment.

The Solution

Let's break down the steps to fix the alignment issue of the Bootstrap columns:

Step 1: Use the Correct Classes

To align two columns side by side effectively, update the class attributes in your HTML from col-md-5 to col-md-6. This change ensures that both columns together use the full width (12) of a Bootstrap row.

Step 2: Ensure Proper Usage of row Class

Make sure you're using the row class correctly for layout purposes. Use the class attribute, not id, to apply Bootstrap's row functionality. Update your structure as follows:

Step 3: Responsive Adjustments

If your layout should remain responsive and you want the columns to be side by side on screens as small as tablets, consider using col-sm-6 instead of col-md-6. This will ensure that they are aligned properly on smaller devices as well:

Summary

By simply adjusting the column classes to col-md-6, ensuring the proper application of Bootstrap's row class, and making the layout responsive, you can solve the problem of columns not aligning as expected. Bootstrap's grid system is versatile, so leveraging it correctly will help you create beautiful, responsive layouts for your web projects.

Now you're on your way to crafting well-aligned, professional-looking sections on your website using Bootstrap. Happy coding!
