Center align a column in twitter bootstrap [duplicate]

Answer 1

The question is correctly answered here Center a column using Twitter Bootstrap 3

For odd rows: i.e., col-md-7 or col-large-9 use this

Add col-centered to the column you want centered.

<div class="col-lg-11 col-centered">    

And add this to your stylesheet:

.col-centered{
float: none;
margin: 0 auto;
}

For even rows: i.e., col-md-6 or col-large-10 use this

Simply use bootstrap 3's offset col class. i.e.,

<div class="col-lg-10 col-lg-offset-1">

Answer 2

With bootstrap 3 the best way to go about achieving what you want is ...with offsetting columns. Please see these examples for more detail:
http://getbootstrap.com/css/#grid-offsetting

In short, and without seeing your divs here's an example what might help, without using any custom classes. Just note how the "col-6" is used and how half of that is 3 ...so the "offset-3" is used. Splitting equally will allow the centered spacing you're going for:

<div class="container">
<div class="col-sm-6 col-sm-offset-3">
your centered, floating column
</div></div>

Answer 3

I tried the approaches given above, but these methods fail when dynamically the height of the content in one of the cols increases, it basically pushes the other cols down.

for me the basic table layout solution worked.

// Apply this to the enclosing row
.row-centered {
  text-align: center;
  display: table-row;
}
// Apply this to the cols within the row
.col-centered {
  display: table-cell;
  float: none;
  vertical-align: top;
}

Answer 4

If you cannot put 1 column, you can simply put 2 column in the middle... (I am just combining answers) For Bootstrap 3

<div class="row">
   <div class="col-lg-5 ">5 columns left</div>
   <div class="col-lg-2 col-centered">2 column middle</div>
   <div class="col-lg-5">5 columns right</div>
</div>

Even, you can text centered column by adding this to style:

.col-centered{
  display: block;
  margin-left: auto;
  margin-right: auto;
  text-align: center;
}
