I’m trying to have a center text over image. I’ve used mx-auto to Horizontal centering my overlay text and use align-middle for a Vertical alignment. But the vertical alignment didn’t work. Does somebody know why ?

      <div class="card ">
<img class="img-fluid card-img" src="https://snap-photos.s3.amazonaws.com/img-thumbs/960w/1U2EGZ07GU.jpg" alt="Deer in nature">
<div class="card-img-overlay d-flex">
  <div class="mx-auto">
<h4 class="card-title align-middle">Animal Farm</h4>
<h6 class="text align-middle">George Orwell</h6>
<p class="card-text align-middle">Tired of their servitude to man, a group of farm animals revolt and establish their own society...</p>

  1. You don’t need .mx-auto. You can just use .justify-content-center, .align-items-center and .flex-column on the parent. https://v4-alpha.getbootstrap.com/utilities/flexbox/

    <link href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/twitter-bootstrap/4.0.0-alpha.6/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
    
    <div class="card ">
      <img class="img-fluid card-img" src="https://snap-photos.s3.amazonaws.com/img-thumbs/960w/1U2EGZ07GU.jpg" alt="Deer in nature">
      <div class="card-img-overlay d-flex justify-content-center align-items-center flex-column">
          <h4 class="card-title align-middle">Animal Farm</h4>
          <h6 class="text align-middle">George Orwell</h6>
          <p class="card-text align-middle">Tired of their servitude to man, a group of farm animals revolt and establish their own society...</p>
      </div>
    </div>

  2. Try it with this code, here:

    <div class="card ">
    <img class="img-fluid card-img" src="https://snap-photos.s3.amazonaws.com/img-thumbs/960w/1U2EGZ07GU.jpg" alt="Deer in nature">
    <div class="card-img-overlay d-flex">
    
    <div class="mx-auto" style="margin-top: auto;margin-bottom: auto;">
    <h4 class="card-title">Animal Farm</h4>
    <h6 class="text">George Orwell</h6>
    <p class="card-text">Tired of their servitude to man, a group of farm animals revolt and establish their own society...</p>
    </div>
    
    </div>
    </div>
    

    Basically just added style="margin-top: auto;margin-bottom: auto;" to the div with mx-auto class.

  3. Just use my-auto for vertical center

      <div class="card">
            <img class="img-fluid card-img" src="https://snap-photos.s3.amazonaws.com/img-thumbs/960w/1U2EGZ07GU.jpg" alt="Deer in nature">
            <div class="card-img-overlay d-flex">
                <div class="my-auto mx-auto text-center">
                    <h4 class="card-title">Animal Farm</h4>
                    <h6 class="text">George Orwell</h6>
                    <p class="card-text">Tired of their servitude to man, a group of farm animals revolt and establish their own society...</p>
                </div>
            </div>
      </div>

    align-middle will work on display: table or display: inline elements.
