How do I center table text both horizontally and vertically?

Question

I've seen similar or maybe even same questions but I've tried the solutions and it didn't work for me.

I'm trying to create a table that would center the text vertically and horizontally idealy using flex which for me totally destroys the entire table structure when using "d-flex align-items-center justify-content-center. Also it's important that the first blocks from the left have the extended width!

I'm trying to achieve something similar or same as the table on this website " https://media.realestate.com.au/ad-specs/ad-unit/home-page-hero/ "

Here's my code

<div class="row my-4 bg-white">
    <div class="table-responsive">
        <table class="table table-bordered">
            <thead>
                <tr>
                    <th><h6 class="font-weight-light">Ad unit</h6></th>
                    <th><h6 class="font-weight-light text-capitalize">buy</h6></th>
                    <th><h6 class="font-weight-light text-capitalize">rent</h6></th>
                    <th><h6 class="font-weight-light text-capitalize">sold</h6></th>
                    <th><h6 class="font-weight-light text-capitalize">news</h6></th>
                    <th><h6 class="font-weight-light text-capitalize">guides</h6></th>
                    <th><h6 class="font-weight-light text-capitalize">lifestyle</h6></th>
                    <th><h6 class="font-weight-light text-capitalize">video hub</h6></th>
                    <th><h6 class="font-weight-light text-capitalize">find agents</h6></th>
                    <th><h6 class="font-weight-light text-capitalize">new homes</h6></th>
                </tr> justifa
            </thead>
            <tbody>
                <tr>
                    <td><h6 class="font-weight-light">Home Page Hero</h6></td>
                    <td class="bg-green"></td>
                    <td></td>
                    <td></td>
                    <td></td>
                    <td></td>
                    <td></td>
                    <td></td>
                </tr>
            </tbody>
        </table>
    </div>
</div>

ul a{
    color: #8ec302 !important;
    text-underline: none !important;
    text-decoration: none !important;
}
a{
    color: inherit !important;
    text-underline: none !important;
    text-decoration: none !important;
}
#navigation a:hover{
    color: #8ec302 !important;
    text-underline: none !important;
    text-decoration: none !important;
}
#navigation a{
     color: inherit !important;
     text-underline: none !important;
     text-decoration: none !important;
 }

.footer-hyperlink-hover  a:hover{
    color: #8ec302 !important;
    text-underline: none !important;
    text-decoration: none !important;
}
.image-no-resize {
    min-height: 200px;
    min-width: 350px;
}
.card-header {
    border: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,.125);
    border-radius: .25rem;
}

.card {
    border: none !important;
}
h6{
    padding-bottom: 2px !important;
    margin-bottom: 2px !important;
}
ul h6{
    padding-bottom: 2px !important;
    margin-bottom: 2px !important;
}
span{
    font-weight: bold;
}
/*End of styling*/

/*Pictures*/
.career-picture{
    background: linear-gradient(rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5),rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5)), url("../images/career.jpg") center/cover no-repeat;
}
/*End of pictures*/

/*Spacing*/
.container-fluid-short{
    max-width: 100rem;
    width: 100%;
}
.container-fluid-shorter{
    max-width: 65rem;
}
.container-fluid-shorter-inner{
    max-width: 76rem;
}

I've tried setting the custom width on the left myself which did work but stopped after my recent tweaks I've made to the code. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any suggestions!

You want to use text-center align-middle . Also, set the first column of each row to <th scope="row"></th>

 <link href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.4.1/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"/> <div class="row my-4 bg-white"> <div class="table-responsive"> <table class="table table-bordered"> <thead> <tr> <th scope="col"><h6 class="font-weight-light">Header</h6></th> <th scope="col"><h6 class="font-weight-light">Header</h6></th> <th scope="col"><h6 class="font-weight-light text-capitalize">Header</h6></th> <th scope="col"><h6 class="font-weight-light text-capitalize">Header</h6></th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <th scope="row"><h6 class="font-weight-light">Home Page Hero</h6></th> <td>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
