In the Bootstrap documentation it's stated that to nest content with the grid system I must add a new .row and set of .col-sm-* columns within an existing .col-sm-* column. However, nesting just the .col-sm-* columns w/o adding a new .row seems to work as well.
I wonder what difference does the new .row make?
You can have columns nested in another column but they should generally be inside a row. The rows have negative margins to account for the padding on the columns, so if you have columns nested inside columns without a row in between, it will mess up the alignment of your page.
Rows are used to create horizontal groups of columns. Rows also help in keeping the elements in the same line. Doing this will make all the elements in a well-structured format.
Try this both and you we will understand by yourself.
USING ROW
<div class="container-fluid">
<h1>Hello World!</h1>
<p>Resize the browser window to see the effect.</p>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-4" style="background-color:lavender;">.col-sm-4</div>
<div class="col-sm-4" style="background-color:lavenderblush;">.col-sm-4</div>
<div class="col-sm-4" style="background-color:lavender;">.col-sm-4</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-4" style="background-color:red;">.col-sm-4</div>
<div class="col-sm-4" style="background-color:yellow;">.col-sm-4</div>
</div>
WITHOUT USING ROW
<div class="container-fluid">
<h1>Hello World!</h1>
<div class="col-sm-4" style="background-color:lavender;">.col-sm-4</div>
<div class="col-sm-4" style="background-color:lavenderblush;">.col-sm-4</div>
<div class="col-sm-4" style="background-color:lavender;">.col-sm-4</div>
<div class="col-sm-4" style="background-color:red;">.col-sm-4</div>
<div class="col-sm-4" style="background-color:yellow;">.col-sm-4</div>

I'm trying to create a full width page using Bootstrap. I have a setup similar to this:
<body>
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
The first row goes here
</div>
<div class="row">
The second row goes here
</div>
<div class="row">
The third row goes here
</div>
</div>
</body>
If I wanted to create a row inside a row, how would I do that? This is what I am trying to achieve:
<body>
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div class="row text-center">
<h1>Some title</h1>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-2"></div>
<div class="col-md-4">
Grid perhaps
</div>
<div class="col-md-4">
More grid
</div>
<div class="col-md-2"></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
So basically I want to put the title on one row and some grids on another row. The tricky part here is, I want to place some columns that are 4 columns wide in the middle, and then have "2 columns padding" on the left and right.
My question may sound like others, but is unique because of the padding. How do I make this layout properly?
Bootstrap has a smart (but delicate) gutters system providing "natural" (margins + paddings) for content on all devices 1.
This system is based on two simple assumptions:
columns are immediate children of .rows 2
content is placed inside columns
That's why, if you want to place a .row inside another .row (to further divide one of your cols), you'd have to use this markup:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-12">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-4 offset-md-2">
Grid perhaps
</div>
<div class="col-md-4">
More grid
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
The above doesn't make much sense by itself (you could just use the markup of the child row and you'd get the same result). But it's useful when you want to offset (or limit) an entire area of a layout, like this:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-8 offset-md-2 col-sm-10 offset-sm-1 col offset-0">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6">Grid</div>
<div class="col-md-6">More grid</div>
<div class="col-md-6">Grid</div>
<div class="col-md-6">More grid</div>
<div class="col-md-6">Grid</div>
<div class="col-md-6">More grid</div>
<div class="col-md-6">Grid</div>
<div class="col-md-6">More grid</div>
<div class="col-md-6">Grid</div>
<div class="col-md-6">More grid</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
See this fiddle for a live example.
1 To get rid of Bootstrap's gutters (in v4), one would need to apply no-gutters class on .row.
2 This is a "general principle", not a "strict rule". Other elements are allowed (and even recommended) as direct children of .rows (such as column breaks). At the other end, other elements extend from .rows (such as .form-rows), thus inheriting the gutters system and being valid column parents.
.row should not be the immediate child of another .row
.col* should not be the immediate child of another .col*
From the Bootstrap docs:
"Content should be placed within columns, and only columns may be
immediate children of rows."
I don't understand why you think you need a row in a row, and what's wrong with just using your layout w/o the nested row. Do you realize that col-12 is the width of a full row?
<div class="container-fluid">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-12 text-center">
<h1>Some title</h1>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-2">
</div>
<div class="col-md-4">
Grid perhaps
</div>
<div class="col-md-4">
More grid
</div>
<div class="col-md-2">
</div>
</div>
</div>

Bootstrap 4, the same rule applies:
"Rows are wrappers for columns. Each column has horizontal padding
(called a gutter) for controlling the space between them... In a grid
layout, content must be placed within columns and only columns may be
immediate children of rows" __ Bootstrap 4.1 Docs

I would like to have a responsive list of items, dynamically fetched from the server (so the number of items is unknown).
According to Foundation 6, the block grid is the way to go. I have used the block grid successfully to show images, but when I try to create a grid inside a block grid column, it doesn't look too good.
Here is my code:
<div class="foods row small-up-1 medium-up-3 large-up-4">
<div class="food column">
<div class="row">
<div class="small-6 medium-4 large-3 columns picture ar-wrapper ar-4-3">
<div class="ar-container">
</div>
</div>
<div class="small-6 medium-8 large-9 columns data">
<div class="row">
<div class="small-12 columns title">
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="small-12 columns description">
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="small-12 columns restaurant-name">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
None of the additional classes interfere with the width of change any float settings.
The result looks like this:
The tall block on the left is the "large-3 columns" element and the selected (blue-ish) element is the "large-9 columns" large div (it's made on a large screen). So by the looks of it, the block grid column has more than 12 simple grid columns.
I appreciate any help or alternative solutions on how to solve this.
I am trying make some grid in bootstrap and I do not know whether I'm coming correctly so here is my HTML:
<link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/>
<div class="container">
<div class="row bg-white">
<div style="background-color: #0a4d85" class="col-md-6">
<div class="col-md-12" style="background-color: #00B312">
<p>text</p>
</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: #0000BB" class="col-md-6">
<div class="row"> <!-- This row -->
<div class="col-md-12" style="background-color: #0c0c0c">
<p>text</p>
</div>
<div class="col-md-12" style="background-color: #00a1e8">
<p>text</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Result from this code is like this (no padding for right side):
But if I remove "row" class (selected in HTML comment) result is as i expected:
So how? I am doing something wrong or row in row is bad practise?
Bootstrap grid is based on a 12 column layout. There are three major components containers, rows, and columns. Rows are horizontal groups of columns that ensure your columns are lined up properly. Hence, Row in row is not good practice. Column classes indicate the number of columns you’d like to use out of the possible 12 per row. So if you want three equal-width columns, you’d use .col-md-4.
I have been experiencing this subtle oddity in my handlebars template using bootstrap.
The issue is that the entire contents of the page shifts approx 10px to the left when three or more items are in the database (the code within {{#orglist}} occurs three or more times).
<div class="row" id="bodyDiv" data-controller="orglist">
<div class="col-md-12">...</div>
<div class="col-md-12">
{{#orglist}}
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-8">...</div>
<div class="col-md-4">...</div>
</div>
{{/orglist}}
</div>
</div>
The same issue occurs if I manually do the markup:
<div class="row" id="bodyDiv" data-controller="orglist">
<div class="col-md-12">...</div>
<div class="col-md-12">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-8">...</div>
<div class="col-md-4">...</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-8">...</div>
<div class="col-md-4">...</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-8">...</div>
<div class="col-md-4">...</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Some notes
The issue is independent of custom css.
The reason this issue bothers me, and how I noticed it, is that
it's a multi-page site and it causes the alignments to differ.
This template does have an accompanying layout template, but the issue appears to be independent of that.
Any thoughts?

As per bootstrap standards, one 'row' should be placed within a .container or .container-fluid, also div can have 12 total grids. for ex
<div class="container">
<div class="row" id="bodyDiv" data-controller="orglist">
<div class="col-md-12">...</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-8">...</div>
<div class="col-md-4">...</div>
</div>...
</div>
If more than 12 columns are placed within a single row, each group of extra columns will, as one unit, wrap onto a new line. Please refer:- http://getbootstrap.com/css/
I'm working with Bootstrap 3.0 and I need one row with three elements. I want one fixed at the center and other two at the left and right sides. The following code shows what I have. This works, but it makes three rows.
<div class="row-centered">
<span class="text-left">text</span>
<div class="center-block" style="width:200px;background-color:#ccc;">...</div>
<div class="text-right">text</div>
</div>
You could use <div class="row"> and <div class="col-sm-4"> (where "col-sm-4" is interchangable with classes like "col-sm-3", "col-md-4", etc.) to put elements in-line on the same row - here's a JSFiddle.
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-4 text-right">text</div>
<div class="col-xs-4" style="background-color:#ccc;">...</div>
<div class="col-xs-4 text-left">text</div>
</div>
try using a tradition row and take advantage of the Bootstrap Grid. Static widths are a bad idea but if you told me specifically what width you are looking to achieve we can better suit it with a column size.
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-4 text-left">text</div>
<div class="col-xs-4 text-center" style="background-color:#CCC;">...</div>
<div class="col-xs-4 text-right">text</div>
</div>
