Missing visible-** and hidden-** in Bootstrap

In Bootstrap v3 I often use the hidden-** classes combined with clearfix to control multi column layouts at different screen widths. For example,

I could combine multiple hidden-** in one DIV to make my multi columns appear correctly at different screen widths.

As an example if I wanted to display rows of product photos, 4 per row on larger screen sizes, 3 on smaller screens, then 2 on very small screens. The product photos might be different heights so I need the clearfix to ensure the row breaks properly.

Here's an example in v3...

Now that v4 has done away with these classes, and replaced them with the visible/hidden-**-up/down classes I seem to have to do the same thing with multiple DIVs instead.

Here's a similar example in v4...

http://jsbin.com/sagowihowa/edit?html,css,output

So I've gone from single DIVs to having to add multiple DIVs with lots of up/down classes to achieve the same thing.

From...

<div class="clearfix visible-xs-block visible-sm-block"></div>

to...

<div class="clearfix hidden-sm-up"></div>
<div class="clearfix hidden-md-up hidden-xs-down"></div>
<div class="clearfix hidden-md-down"></div>

Is there a better way of doing this in v4 that I have overlooked?

Using the Bootstrap 5.3 version (which is the same for versions 4 and up) I found there to be a lack of very clear demonstrations so I made the following.

Move the slider between the code and rendered site to see content show up:

  • at exactly one page size
  • when smaller than a certain page size
  • when larger than a certain page size

Here's the good bit of code:

<div>Show at exactly one size:</div>
<div class="d-xs-block d-sm-none">XS</div>
<div class="d-none d-sm-block d-md-none">SM</div>
<div class="d-none d-md-block d-lg-none">MD</div>
<div class="d-none d-lg-block d-xl-none">LG</div>
<div class="d-none d-xl-block">XL</div>
<hr>
<div>Hide when smaller than size or show when larger than size:</div>
<div class="d-none d-xs-block">XS or larger</div>
<div class="d-none d-sm-block">SM or larger</div>
<div class="d-none d-md-block">MD or larger</div>
<div class="d-none d-lg-block">LG or larger</div>
<div class="d-none d-xl-block">XL or larger</div>
<hr>
<div>Hide when larger than size or show when smaller than size:</div>
<div class="d-sm-none">XS or smaller</div>
<div class="d-md-none">SM or smaller</div>
<div class="d-lg-none">MD or smaller</div>
<div class="d-xl-none">LG or smaller</div>

I hope that helps others.

Update for Bootstrap 5 (2021)

Bootstrap 5 has a new xxl breakpoint. Therefore display classes have a new tier to support this:

Hidden only on xxl: d-xxl-none
Visible only on xxl: d-none d-xxl-block

Bootstrap 4 (2018)

The hidden-* and visible-* classes no longer exist in Bootstrap 4. If you want to hide an element on specific tiers or breakpoints in Bootstrap 4, use the d-* display classes accordingly.

Remember that extra-small/mobile (formerly xs) is the default (implied) breakpoint, unless overridden by a larger breakpoint. Therefore, the -xs infix no longer exists in Bootstrap 4.

Show/hide for breakpoint and down:

  • hidden-xs-down (hidden-xs) = d-none d-sm-block
  • hidden-sm-down (hidden-sm hidden-xs) = d-none d-md-block
  • hidden-md-down (hidden-md hidden-sm hidden-xs) = d-none d-lg-block
  • hidden-lg-down = d-none d-xl-block
  • hidden-xl-down (n/a 3.x) = d-none (same as hidden)

Show/hide for breakpoint and up:

  • hidden-xs-up = d-none (same as hidden)
  • hidden-sm-up = d-sm-none
  • hidden-md-up = d-md-none
  • hidden-lg-up = d-lg-none
  • hidden-xl-up (n/a 3.x) = d-xl-none

Show/hide only for a single breakpoint:

  • hidden-xs (only) = d-none d-sm-block (same as hidden-xs-down)
  • hidden-sm (only) = d-block d-sm-none d-md-block
  • hidden-md (only) = d-block d-md-none d-lg-block
  • hidden-lg (only) = d-block d-lg-none d-xl-block
  • hidden-xl (n/a 3.x) = d-block d-xl-none
  • visible-xs (only) = d-block d-sm-none
  • visible-sm (only) = d-none d-sm-block d-md-none
  • visible-md (only) = d-none d-md-block d-lg-none
  • visible-lg (only) = d-none d-lg-block d-xl-none
  • visible-xl (n/a 3.x) = d-none d-xl-block

Demo of the responsive display classes in Bootstrap 4

Also, note that d-*-block can be replaced with d-*-inline, d-*-flex, d-*-table-cell, d-*-table etc.. depending on the display type of the element. Read more on the display classes

The hidden-* and visible-* classes no longer exist in Bootstrap 4. The same function can be achieved in Bootstrap 4 by using the d-* for the specific tiers.

Hiding elements:

To hide elements simply use the .d-none class or one of the .d-{sm,md,lg,xl,xxl}-none classes for any responsive screen variation.

To show an element only on a given interval of screen sizes you can combine one .d-*-none class with a .d-*-* class, for example .d-none .d-md-block .d-xl-none .d-xxl-none will hide the element for all screen sizes except on medium and large devices.

Screen size Class
Hidden on all .d-none
Hidden only on xs .d-none .d-sm-block
Hidden only on sm .d-sm-none .d-md-block
Hidden only on md .d-md-none .d-lg-block
Hidden only on lg .d-lg-none .d-xl-block
Hidden only on xl .d-xl-none .d-xxl-block
Hidden only on xxl .d-xxl-none
Visible on all .d-block
Visible only on xs .d-block .d-sm-none
Visible only on sm .d-none .d-sm-block .d-md-none
Visible only on md .d-none .d-md-block .d-lg-none
Visible only on lg .d-none .d-lg-block .d-xl-none
Visible only on xl .d-none .d-xl-block .d-xxl-none
Visible only on xxl .d-none .d-xxl-block

Display in print:

Change the display value of elements when printing with our print display utility classes. Includes support for the same display values as our responsive .d-* utilities.

  • .d-print-none

  • .d-print-inline

  • .d-print-inline-block

  • .d-print-block

  • .d-print-grid

  • .d-print-table

  • .d-print-table-row

  • .d-print-table-cell

  • .d-print-flex

  • .d-print-inline-flex

Unfortunately all classes hidden-*-up and hidden-*-down were removed from Bootstrap (as of Bootstrap Version 4 Beta, in Version 4 Alpha and Version 3 these classes still existed).

Instead, new classes d-* should be used, as mentioned here: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/migration/#utilities

I found out that the new approach is less useful under some circumstances. The old approach was to HIDE elements while the new approach is to SHOW elements. Showing elements is not that easy with CSS since you need to know if the element is displayed as block, inline, inline-block, table etc.

You might want to restore the former "hidden-*" styles known from Bootstrap 3 with this CSS:

/*\
 * Restore Bootstrap 3 "hidden" utility classes.
\*/

/* Breakpoint XS */
@media (max-width: 575px)
{
    .hidden-xs-down, .hidden-sm-down, .hidden-md-down, .hidden-lg-down, .hidden-xl-down, 
    .hidden-xs-up, 
    .hidden-unless-sm, .hidden-unless-md, .hidden-unless-lg, .hidden-unless-xl
    {
        display: none !important;
    }

}

/* Breakpoint SM */
@media (min-width: 576px) and (max-width: 767px)
{
    .hidden-sm-down, .hidden-md-down, .hidden-lg-down, .hidden-xl-down, 
    .hidden-xs-up, .hidden-sm-up, 
    .hidden-unless-xs, .hidden-unless-md, .hidden-unless-lg, .hidden-unless-xl
    {
        display: none !important;
    } 
}

/* Breakpoint MD */
@media (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 991px)
{
    .hidden-md-down, .hidden-lg-down, .hidden-xl-down, 
    .hidden-xs-up, .hidden-sm-up, .hidden-md-up, 
    .hidden-unless-xs, .hidden-unless-sm, .hidden-unless-lg, .hidden-unless-xl
    {
        display: none !important;
    } 
}

/* Breakpoint LG */
@media (min-width: 992px) and (max-width: 1199px)
{
    .hidden-lg-down, .hidden-xl-down, 
    .hidden-xs-up, .hidden-sm-up, .hidden-md-up, .hidden-lg-up, 
    .hidden-unless-xs, .hidden-unless-sm, .hidden-unless-md, .hidden-unless-xl
    {
        display: none !important;
    } 
}

/* Breakpoint XL */
@media (min-width: 1200px)
{
    .hidden-xl-down, 
    .hidden-xs-up, .hidden-sm-up, .hidden-md-up, .hidden-lg-up, .hidden-xl-up, 
    .hidden-unless-xs, .hidden-unless-sm, .hidden-unless-md, .hidden-unless-lg
    {
        display: none !important;
    } 
}

The classes hidden-unless-* were not included in Bootstrap 3, but they are useful as well and should be self-explanatory.

Bootstrap v4.1 uses new classnames for hiding columns on their grid system.

For hiding columns depending on the screen width, use d-none class or any of the d-{sm,md,lg,xl}-none classes. To show columns on certain screen sizes, combine the above mentioned classes with d-block or d-{sm,md,lg,xl}-block classes.

Examples are:

<div class="d-lg-none">hide on screens wider than lg</div>
<div class="d-none d-lg-block">hide on screens smaller than lg</div>

More of these here.

Unfortunately these new bootstrap 4 classes do not work like the old ones on a div using collapse as they set the visible div to block which starts out visible rather than hidden and if you add an extra div around the collapse functionality no longer works.

The user Klaro suggested to restore the old visibility classes, which is a good idea. Unfortunately, their solution did not work in my project.

I think that it is a better idea to restore the old mixin of bootstrap, because it is covering all breakpoints which can be individually defined by the user.

Here is the code:

// Restore Bootstrap 3 "hidden" utility classes.
@each $bp in map-keys($grid-breakpoints) {
  .hidden-#{$bp}-up {
    @include media-breakpoint-up($bp) {
      display: none !important;
    }
  }
  .hidden-#{$bp}-down {
    @include media-breakpoint-down($bp) {
      display: none !important;
    }
  }
  .hidden-#{$bp}-only{
    @include media-breakpoint-only($bp){
      display:none !important;
    }
  }
}

In my case, I have inserted this part in a _custom.scss file which is included at this point in the bootstrap.scss:

/*!
 * Bootstrap v4.0.0-beta (https://getbootstrap.com)
 * Copyright 2011-2017 The Bootstrap Authors
 * Copyright 2011-2017 Twitter, Inc.
 * Licensed under MIT (https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/blob/master/LICENSE)
 */

@import "functions";
@import "variables";
@import "mixins";
@import "custom"; // <-- my custom file for overwriting default vars and adding the snippet from above
@import "print";
@import "reboot";

I do no expect that multiple div's is a good solution.

I also think you can replace .visible-sm-block with .hidden-xs-down and .hidden-md-up (or .hidden-sm-down and .hidden-lg-up to act on the same media queries).

hidden-sm-up compiles into:

.visible-sm-block {
  display: none !important;
}
@media (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 991px) {
  .visible-sm-block {
    display: block !important;
  }
}

.hidden-sm-down and .hidden-lg-up compiles into:

@media (max-width: 768px) {
  .hidden-xs-down {
    display: none !important;
  }
}
@media (min-width: 991px) {
  .hidden-lg-up {
    display: none !important;
  }
}

Both situation should act the same.

You situation become different when you try to replace .visible-sm-block and .visible-lg-block. Bootstrap v4 docs tell you:

These classes don’t attempt to accommodate less common cases where an element’s visibility can’t be expressed as a single contiguous range of viewport breakpoint sizes; you will instead need to use custom CSS in such cases.

.visible-sm-and-lg {
  display: none !important;
}
@media (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 991px) {
  .visible-sm-and-lg {
    display: block !important;
  }
}
@media (min-width: 1200px) {
  .visible-sm-and-lg {
    display: block !important;
  }
}

You now have to define the size of what is being hidden as so

.hidden-xs-down

Will hide anythinging from xs and smaller, only xs

.hidden-xs-up

Will hide everything
