Trying to center naviation bar - html

Question

I am having problems trying to center the navigation bar on my web page. I tried creating a wrapper div to center it, but it doesn't seem to work. The only thing that works in that div are changing the left margin. Here is the HTML:
body {
background: #bf5c71 url('body-bg.jpg');
}
.clearfix:after {
display: inline-block;
clear: both;
align-content: center;
}
/*----- Menu Outline -----*/
.menu-wrap {
box-shadow: inset 0px 0 0 rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.00);
-webkit-box-shadow: inset 0px 0 0 rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.00);
display: inline-block;
margin: 0px auto;
}
.menu {
display: inline-block;
margin: auto;
}
.menu li {
margin-top: 0px;
margin-right: 0px;
margin-left: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
list-style: none;
font-family: 'Century Gothic';
}
.menu a {
transition: all linear 0.15s;
color: #FF283B;
}
.menu li:hover > a,
.menu .current-item > a {
color: #F5F5F5;
}
.menu .arrow {
font-size: 11px;
line-height: 0%;
}
/*----- Top Level -----*/
.menu > ul > li {
float: left;
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
font-size: 18px;
}
.menu > ul > li > a {
padding-top: 2px;
padding-right: 2px;
padding-left: 2px;
padding-bottom: 2px;
display: inline-block;
text-shadow: 0px 0px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.00);
}
.menu > ul > li:hover > a,
.menu > ul > .current-item > a {
background: F5F5F5;
}
/*----- Bottom Level -----*/
.menu li:hover .sub-menu {
z-index: 1;
opacity: 1;
}
.sub-menu {
width: 100%;
padding: 3px 0px;
position: absolute;
top: 100%;
left: 0px;
z-index: -1;
opacity: 0;
transition: opacity linear 0.15s;
box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0);
background: 0;
}
.sub-menu li {
display: inline-block;
font-size: 16px;
}
.sub-menu li a {
padding-top: 10px;
padding-right: 20px;
padding-left: 20px;
padding-bottom: 5px;
display: inline-block;
}
.sub-menu li a:hover,
.sub-menu .current-item a {
background: #FF283B;
}
img {
border: thin solid #FF283B;
margin-left: 5%;
}
h3 {
margin-top: 3%;
font-size: 24px;
}
.wrapper {
display: inline-block;
margin: 0px auto;
}
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="menu-wrap">
<nav class="menu">
<ul class="clearfix">
<li>
<div align="center">Home</a>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<div align="center">Projects <span class="arrow">▼</span>
<ul class="sub-menu">
<li>Image Adaptation
</li>
<li>Sonic Memory
</li>
<li>Documentary Video
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</li>
<li>
<div align="center">Resume
</div>
</li>
<li>
<div align="center">About
</div>
</li>
<li>
<div align="center">Contact
</div>
</li>
</ul>
</nav>
</div>
</div>
The only thing I can seem to do is just shift the bar left using margin-left.

Answer 1

This is enough:
.content {
text-align: center;
}

Answer 2

You need to give your menu a width and change the display to "block"
Here is the style you need to change
.menu-wrap {
box-shadow: 0 0 0 rgba(255, 255, 255, 0) inset;
display: block;
margin: auto;
width: 880px;
}

Answer 3

Its a good idea to give a 100% width to the navbar. And the text-align center on the menu should do the trick.
.menu-wrap {
box-shadow: inset 0px 0 0 rgba(255,255,255,0.00);
-webkit-box-shadow: inset 0px 0 0 rgba(255,255,255,0.00);
display: inline-block;
margin: 0px auto;
width: 100%;
}
.menu {
width: 100%;
display: inline-block;
text-align: center;
}

What you are looking for is they style margin: 0 auto; take a look at this sample code and you will get it.
<style>
.wrapper{
width:100%;
height: 30px;
background: black;
}
.centered_div{
width: 200px;
background: red;
margin:0 auto;
}
</style>
<div class="wrapper">
<div class="centered_div">
test
</div>
</div>
