Bootstrap navbar breaking in two rows issue

Question

1st problem :

I'm trying to make a navbar in one row, however, it breaks in two rows even if there is enough space. I don't want to include the Sign in button in the collapse navbar-collapse div.

Here's what i got :

2nd problem :

I want my navbar to stay visible even if the user scrolls down, i added the navbar-static-top class like this :

<nav class="navbar navbar-default navbar-static-top">

but it doesn't seem to be working.

any help would be appreciated. Thank's in advance.

Answer 1

You have place your last button in the wrong div (see ****move here****)

  <nav class="navbar navbar-default navbar-static-top">
    <div class="container">
    <!-- Brand and toggle get grouped for better mobile display -->
    <div class="navbar-header">
      <button type="button" class="navbar-toggle collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#bs-example-navbar-collapse-1" aria-expanded="false">
      <span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>
      <span class="icon-bar"></span>
      <span class="icon-bar"></span>
      <span class="icon-bar"></span>
      </button>
      <a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Brand</a>
    </div>

    <!-- Collect the nav links, forms, and other content for toggling -->
    <div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="bs-example-navbar-collapse-1">
      <ul class="nav navbar-nav">
      <li class="active"><a href="#">Homepage <span class="sr-only">(current)</span></a></li>
      <li class="dropdown">
        <a href="#" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" role="button" aria-haspopup="true" aria-expanded="false">Forum <span class="caret"></span></a>
        <ul class="dropdown-menu">
        <li><a href="#">Action</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Another action</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Something else here</a></li>
        <li role="separator" class="divider"></li>
        <li><a href="#">Separated link</a></li>
        <li role="separator" class="divider"></li>
        <li><a href="#">One more separated link</a></li>
        </ul>
      </li>
        <li><a href="#">Become a Moderator</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">Donate</a></li>
      </ul>
      <ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right"><!-- *****move here *****-->
      <li><button type="button" class="btn btn-info navbar-btn">Sign in</button></li>
      </ul>      
    </div><!-- /.navbar-collapse -->

    </div><!-- /.container-fluid -->
  </nav>

ANd for Second question

and for fixed use navbar-fixed-top

 <nav class="navbar navbar-default navbar-fixed-top">

Answer 2

1. Sign in button should be neasted with some element in your nav, like the navbar-header or the container. Like this for example:

2. Change navbar-static-top by navbar-fixed-top :

Here is your JSFiddle i've updated: https://jsfiddle.net/Pontual/fsjowxqn/3/

<div class="navbar-header">
          <button type="button" class="navbar-toggle collapsed" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#bs-example-navbar-collapse-1" aria-expanded="false">
            <span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>
            <span class="icon-bar"></span>
            <span class="icon-bar"></span>
            <span class="icon-bar"></span>
          </button>
          <a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Brand</a>
      <ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
            <li><button type="button" class="btn btn-info navbar-btn">Sign in</button></li>
          </ul>
        </div>

Answer 3

Add navbar-left to the collapse nav div

 <div class="collapse navbar-collapse navbar-left" id="bs-example-navbar-collapse-1"> 

Add sign_in class to your sign in button parent

 <ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right sign_in"> 

and then add the following css

 @media (max-width: 767px) { .sign_in { position: absolute; right: 100px; top: -7px; } } 

hope it works for your scenario
