how to centre bootsrap bottom navbar

Question

i have two navbars and i been trying to center the second navbars icons but its not working .When i aligned it left and right it works but once i do centre it doesnt work at all. Have i missed some part of code or made a mistake, therefore its not working. If anyone could help i would appreciate it.

thats the CSS code for my 2nd navbar:

.navbartwo {
overflow: hidden;

bottom: 0;
width: 100%;
}

.navbartwo {
background-image: url(nav.png)
}


.navbartwo a {
float: centre;
display: inline-grid;
color: #f2f2f2;
text-align: center;
padding: 14px 13px;
text-decoration: none;
font-size: 15px;
display: flex;
align-items: center;
}



/* links on hover */
 .navbartwo a:hover {
 background-color: #ddd;
 color: black;
 }

 /*colour to the active/current link */
  .navbartwo a.active {
   color: #ebeef7;
    }


  .navbartwo.navbar-nav {
   display: inline-block;
   float: none;
    vertical-align: top;
    }

   .navbartwo .navbar-collapse {
   text-align: center;
   }

This is the HTML:

<div class="navbartwo">

Answer 1

I have proceeded to put together this code snippet for you to review and use if this solves your issue. I would highly recommend to avoid using repetitive class rules in separate blocks, for example .navbartwo class being repeated several times, I joined all of the rules and added some new in order to make this works.

NOTE: You can remove the background color rule for the .navbartwo class. I placed it to visualize the icons since I don't have the current navbar background image at hand.

I certainly hope this helps you with your request. Happy coding and keep up the good work, you are doing great so far!

body {
    padding: 0;
    margin: 0;
}

.navbartwo {
    overflow: hidden;
    width: 100%;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    display: flex;
    align-items: between;
    background-color: #333;
    background-image: url("nav.png")
}

.navbartwo a {
    color: #f2f2f2;
    text-align: center;
    padding: 12px;
    text-decoration: none;
    font-size: 15px;
    width: 200px;
    height: auto;
}


/* links on hover */

.navbartwo a:hover {
    background-color: #ddd;
    color: black;
}


/*colour to the active/current link */

.navbartwo a.active {
    color: #ebeef7;
}

.navbartwo.navbar-nav {
    display: inline-block;
    float: none;
    vertical-align: top;
}

.navbartwo .navbar-collapse {
    text-align: center;
}

Answer 2

Float: center doesn't exist, only float right or left.

If you want to center the 'a' tags on the center of the navbar, you can add to your navbartwo class this:

.navbartwo {
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
}

Else if you want to just center the text of each 'a' tag add the same to the a tags like this:

.navbartwo a{
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
}
