Bootstrap columns vertically stacking when they shouldn't be - html

I am currently trying to learn the Bootstrap grid system. I have the following html code that attempts to simply make a row with three columns:
<body>
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-4">
left column
</div>
<div class="col-4">
middle column
</div>
<div class="col-4">
right column
</div>
</div>
</div>
I believe this should just create three columns that align horizontally (fill up the same row), however, in Chrome, they stack vertically. Anyone know why?

Maybe a silly reply but have you checked that you have the css file correctly coming through?
row is automatically flex and col-4 is correct for 3 wide.
I cannot help but think the css file is in place.
Open up inspect element on the row element and you should see css like:
display:flex;

Spectre.css - Break flexbox to another row instead of shrinking?

I'm new to coding and tried to build a small responsive website with Spectre.css.
I want 3 cards in a row and if the viewport gets too small, they should go in the next row.
Currently they just shrink but don't go in the next row.
Spectre.css provides media queries but I'm not sure how to actually use the provided structure...
See Flexbox Grid and Responsive
Tried to figure it out myself but... mhhh :D
<div class="container grid-xl">
<div class="columns">
<div class="card column col-3"></div>
<div class="card column col-3"></div>
<div class="card column col-3"></div>
</div>
</div>
I've found the answer myself.
Instead of adding only col-3 I had to add more than one argument.
Like col-3 col-3 col-md-5 col-sm-11 to make the line breaks.
Sounds logic...
Now it works as intended.

Vertical alignment of columns in bootstrap 4

I've searched on google and this site for answers on how to vertically align columns to be centered. I've found entries with this exact title but none of them work, they all show how to align horizontally. Even the bootply's etc. links to examples which centers horizontally and not vertically.
I've followed the guide on bootstraps official site, and it is telling me to just use the class align-items-center on the row, or adding align-content-center on the column, but these doesn't work for me at all, I get no response.
Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong here?
This is the guide I used: http://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/layout/grid/#alignment
And I am using the latest bootstrap v4.0.0.beta-2.
Example from my code:
<div class="container">
<div class="row align-items-center">
<div class="col-3"><span>test</span></div>
</div>
</div>
Expected result: Column with the text "test" should be located vertically centered on my page.
Actual result: Text is showing in the left upper corner of the page.
Bootstrap row will contain flex property. With that only we can able to use flex properties for child divs. But here in your example you haven't used row class or d-flex class in your code.
I suggest you to add row into your code..
<div class="container">
<div class="row align-items-center">
<div class="col-3"><span>test</span></div>
</div>
</div>
Now your code will center the text vertically, But within the container height. It won't be center to your html page.
Vertical Center: JS Fiddle
To make Your text to center of your page, make row div to full height 100vh

Alternative to using 'left only' rows in bootstrap

I'm currently working with bootstrap, but there's just a few things that confuse me about the grid management.
In this case, my grid structure tends to go (as an example)..
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-6">
<div class="row">
<div class="homeBox">
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-xs-6">
<div class="row">
<div class="homeBox">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
(Apologies for poor formatting)
This works fine for full width elements (col-xs-12), however if i'm trying to have two elements next to each other (col-xs-6) with a row before adding the content, they simply touch each other in the middle, and if adding a background it makes it seem like one element. Here's a JFiddle showing what I mean. If i was to add a row before the homebox, it makes them touch. I can also just not add a row after the col-xs-x, but then it won't align correctly to the other full width elements on the page.
In sites I'm working on, I workaround this by adding a 'leftRow/rightRow' class for small devices onwards, but this seems a bit of a bodged way of doing it.
What's the correct way to approach this?
Cheers.

Ionic Grid - row not taking up full width

I am trying to create a simple grid, currently with one row and seven columns. Each column consists of a div containing one letter of text. I want these columns to space evenly out across the page, as is meant to be the default behaviour, but they are all bunched up on the left. Setting the row's width to 100% with an id doesn't help. Any help would be appreciated.
<div class="row">
<div class="column positive-bg stable" ng-repeat="i in [1,2,3,4,5,6,7]">M</div>
</div>
Use col instead column class.
<div class="row">
<div class="col positive-bg stable" ng-repeat="i in [1,2,3,4,5,6,7]">M</div>
</div>

Bootstrap unequal column creation

I am creating a website in bootstrap. I need to make a right hand side column makes a big serial number 4. When I fill the column height make the big simultaneously space is come out the between the serial no 3 and 6.
How can I solve the problem?
<div class="col-md-3">content goes here</div>
<div class="col-md-3">content</div>
<div class="col-md-3">content</div>
<div class="col-md-3">BIG COLUM</div>
<div class="col-md-3">content</div>
<div class="col-md-3">content</div>
<div class="col-md-3">content</div>
Example
The only other thing I can think of is to use: on your vertical column. Check out this link http://getbootstrap.com/css/#grid-options
Check out the offset column section as well.
Remember to wrap your page in a <div class="container", then wrap it in a <div class="row"... also remember that the grid width is only 12 wide, so you have to many divs as col-md-3, you can use only four.
