CSS Bootstrap Basics Using Bootstrap Components Building a Navbar

Margin right class is not applying

<nav class="navbar navbar-expand-lg navbar-dark bg-primary">
    <div class="container container-fluid">
      <a class="navbar-brand order-1 mr-0" href="https://www.teamtreehouse.com" target='_blank'>Presented by Treehouse</a>

mr-0 should get rid of the margin but the class is not applying to the webpage, why? Going into the developer tools and taking off margins manually changes the margin value but the class is not being read.

Hi Kirt,

Any chance you could provide a link to your workspace so that we can see what you're seeing?

Thanks Kirt,

I think I've found what the issue is. The course is going over Bootstrap 4 (which was the latest version at the time of filming), but you're linking Boostrap 5 to your code. In Bootstrap 5 the mr has been changed to me. So if you change your class for the anchor element to me-0 instead of mr-0 you should end up with the results you're looking for.

I've included a link below to the Documentation that goes over the change.

Appreciate the fast response! This makes total sense. So basically left and right is replaced with start and end with Bootstrap 5. Thanks.

The "Presented by Treehouse" text has a margin right to it that isn't being overwritten with the instructions from the video for me.
