Topic: Navbar increase padding left/right

Florian Preuss free asked 4 years ago


Actually I have a mdb navbar. But now I want to increase the padding of it, I already tried it via css, but it don't worked.

@media (min-width: 992px)
.navbar-expand-lg .navbar-nav .nav-link {
    padding-right: 0.5rem;
    padding-left: 0.5rem;
}

What options are there to do that?

Well, tanks for your answer. For me, by adding this to the css file of my navbar, it don't affect anything. My Navbar html code:

  <li class="nav-item" routerLinkActive="active">
    <a class="nav-link waves-light" routerLink="leistungen" mdbWavesEffect>Leistungen</a>
  </li>

  <li class="nav-item" routerLinkActive="active">
    <a class="nav-link waves-light" routerLink="wohngemeinschaften" mdbWavesEffect>Wohngemeinschaften für Senioren</a>
  </li>

  <li class="nav-item" routerLinkActive="active">
    <a class="nav-link waves-light" routerLink="about" mdbWavesEffect>Über uns</a>
  </li>

  <li class="nav-item" routerLinkActive="active">
    <a class="nav-link waves-light" routerLink="aktuelles" mdbWavesEffect>Aktuelles</a>
  </li>
</ul>
<ul class="navbar-nav ml-auto nav-flex-icons">
  <li class="nav-item" (click)="openContact()">
    <a class="nav-link">
      <mdb-icon fas icon="envelope"></mdb-icon>Kontakt</a>
  </li>
  <li class="nav-item" (click)="openContact()">
    <a class="nav-link">
      <mdb-icon fas icon="align-justify"></mdb-icon>Impressum</a>
  </li>
</ul>

An earlier version of my code can also be found on Github, https://github.com/ProxieTV/dreitoechter-web What could be the problem?

Where did you add the styles I provided in the previous post? It should work correctly when the styles are in global styles.scss file.

You should use only .navbar-expand-lg selector in this case and set higher padding (because 0.5rem is already used and you won't see a difference). There are also some problems with the syntax of your code, here is a working example:

@media (min-width: 992px) {
  .navbar-expand-lg {
    padding-right: 5rem;
    padding-left: 5rem;
  }
}
