Automatic padding in Bootstrap5

August 18, 2022

I’m having trouble figuring out why am I getting a constant padding at the bottom of my container in Bootstrap5. I tried using align-items-center in the row to center the content, but that didn’t work.

>Solution :

Here you go…

It’s because there’s a margin-bottom set to the <p> tag.

Add the following to your CSS:

p {
  margin-bottom: 0 !important;
}

See the snippet below.

p {
  margin-bottom: 0 !important;
}
