Using the bootstrap flex box helps  us to control the placement and alignment of your navigation element  for the problem above adding mr-auto is a better solution to it     lt div id  app  class  container  gt     lt nav class  navbar navbar-toggleable-md navbar-light bg-faded  gt       lt button class  navbar-toggler navbar-toggler-right  type  button  data-toggle  collapse  data-target   navbarNavDropdown  aria-controls  navbarNavDropdown  aria-expanded  false  aria-label  Toggle navigation  gt         lt span class  navbar-toggler-icon  gt  lt  span gt       lt  button gt       lt a class  navbar-brand  href     gt Navbar lt  a gt       lt ul class  navbar-nav mr-auto  gt         lt li class  nav-item active  gt           lt a class  nav-link  href     gt Home  lt span class  sr-only  gt  current  lt  span gt  lt  a gt         lt  li gt         lt li class  nav-item  gt           lt a class  nav-link  href     gt Features lt  a gt         lt  li gt         lt li class  nav-item  gt           lt a class  nav-link  href     gt Pricingg lt  a gt         lt  li gt       lt  ul gt       lt ul class  navbar-nav     gt         lt li  class  nav-item  gt           lt a class  nav-link  href     url   login       gt Login lt  a gt         lt  li gt         lt li  class  nav-item  gt           lt a class  nav-link  href     url   register       gt Register lt  a gt         lt  li gt       lt  ul gt     lt  nav gt     yield  content    lt  div gt    other placement may include   fixed- top     fixed bottom     sticky-top

Just copied this from one of the getbootstrap pages for the released version 4 which worked much better than the above   lt div class  d-none d-xl-block col-xl-2 bd-toc float-md-right  gt       lt ul class  section-nav  gt            lt li class  toc-entry toc-h2  gt  lt a href   overview  gt Overview lt  a gt  lt  li gt            lt li class  toc-entry toc-h2  gt  lt a href   classes  gt Classes lt  a gt  lt  li gt            lt li class  toc-entry toc-h2  gt  lt a href   mixins  gt Mixins lt  a gt  lt  li gt            lt li class  toc-entry toc-h2  gt  lt a href   responsive  gt Responsive lt  a gt  lt  li gt       lt  ul gt   lt  div gt

If you want Home  Features and Pricing on left immediately after your nav-brand  and then login and register on right then wrap the two lists in  lt div gt  and use  justify-content-between    lt div class  collapse navbar-collapse justify-content-between  gt   lt ul gt      lt  ul gt   lt ul gt     lt  ul gt   lt  div gt

Just add mr-auto class at ul    lt ul class  nav navbar-nav mr-auto  gt    If you have menu list in both side you can do something like this    lt ul class  navbar-nav mr-auto  gt     lt li class  nav-item active  gt       lt a class  nav-link  href     gt Home  lt span class  sr-only  gt  current  lt  span gt  lt  a gt     lt  li gt     lt li class  nav-item  gt       lt a class  nav-link  href     gt Link lt  a gt     lt  li gt     lt li class  nav-item  gt       lt a class  nav-link disabled  href     gt Disabled lt  a gt     lt  li gt   lt  ul gt   lt ul class  navbar-nav ml-auto  gt     lt li class  nav-item active  gt       lt a class  nav-link  href     gt left 1 lt  a gt     lt  li gt     lt li class  nav-item  gt       lt a class  nav-link  href     gt left 2 lt  a gt     lt  li gt     lt li class  nav-item  gt       lt a class  nav-link disabled  href     gt left disable lt  a gt     lt  li gt   lt  ul gt

In my case  I wanted just one set of navigation buttons   options and found that this will work    lt div class  collapse navbar-collapse justify-content-end  id  navbarCollapse  gt     lt ul class  navbar-nav  gt       lt li class  nav-item  gt         lt a class  nav-link  href     gt Sign Out lt  a gt       lt  li gt     lt  ul gt   lt  div gt    So  you will add justify-content-end to the div and omit mr-auto on the list   Here is a working example

Bootstrap 4 has many different ways to align navbar items  float-right won t work because the navbar is now flexbox  You can use mr-auto for auto right margin on the 1st  left  navbar-nav  Alternatively  ml-auto could be used on the 2nd  right  navbar-nav   or if you just have a single navbar-nav   lt nav class  quot navbar navbar-expand-md navbar-light bg-light quot  gt       lt a class  quot navbar-brand quot  href  quot   quot  gt Navbar lt  a gt       lt button class  quot navbar-toggler quot  type  quot button quot  data-toggle  quot collapse quot  data-target  quot  navbarNav quot  gt           lt span class  quot navbar-toggler-icon quot  gt  lt  span gt       lt  button gt       lt div class  quot collapse navbar-collapse quot  id  quot navbarNav quot  gt           lt ul class  quot navbar-nav mr-auto quot  gt               lt li class  quot nav-item active quot  gt                   lt a class  quot nav-link quot  href  quot   quot  gt Home  lt span class  quot sr-only quot  gt  current  lt  span gt  lt  a gt               lt  li gt               lt li class  quot nav-item quot  gt                   lt a class  quot nav-link quot  href  quot   quot  gt Features lt  a gt               lt  li gt               lt li class  quot nav-item quot  gt                   lt a class  quot nav-link quot  href  quot   quot  gt Pricing lt  a gt               lt  li gt           lt  ul gt           lt ul class  quot navbar-nav quot  gt               lt li class  quot nav-item quot  gt                   lt a class  quot nav-link quot  href  quot   quot  gt Login lt  a gt               lt  li gt               lt li class  quot nav-item quot  gt                   lt a class  quot nav-link quot  href  quot   quot  gt Register lt  a gt               lt  li gt           lt  ul gt       lt  div gt   lt  nav gt   https   codeply com go P0G393rzfm There are also flexbox utils  For example use justify-content-end on the collapse menu   lt nav class  quot navbar navbar-expand-lg navbar-dark bg-dark quot  gt     lt div class  quot container-fluid quot  gt       lt a class  quot navbar-brand quot  href  quot   quot  gt Brand lt  a gt       lt button class  quot navbar-toggler quot  type  quot button quot  data-bs-toggle  quot collapse quot  data-bs-target  quot  navbarNav quot  gt         lt span class  quot navbar-toggler-icon quot  gt  lt  span gt       lt  button gt       lt div class  quot collapse navbar-collapse justify-content-end quot  id  quot navbarNav quot  gt         lt ul class  quot navbar-nav quot  gt           lt li class  quot nav-item quot  gt             lt a class  quot nav-link active quot  aria-current  quot page quot  href  quot   quot  gt Contact lt  a gt           lt  li gt           lt li class  quot nav-item quot  gt             lt a class  quot nav-link quot  href  quot   quot  gt Pricing lt  a gt           lt  li gt           lt li class  quot nav-item quot  gt             lt a class  quot nav-link quot  href  quot   quot  gt Download lt  a gt           lt  li gt         lt  ul gt       lt  div gt     lt  div gt   lt  nav gt   Or when you have 2 navbar-navs  use justify-content-between in navbar-collapse would work to even the space between the navbar-navs    lt div class  quot navbar-collapse collapse justify-content-between quot  gt        lt ul class  quot navbar-nav mr-auto quot  gt                          lt  ul gt        lt ul class  quot navbar-nav quot  gt                      lt  ul gt    lt  div gt    Update for Bootstrap 4 0 and newer As of Bootstrap 4 beta  ml-auto will still work to push items to the right  Just be aware the the navbar-toggleable- classes have changed to navbar-expand-  Updated navbar right for Bootstrap 4  Another frequent Bootstrap 4 Navbar right alignment scenario includes a button on the right that remains outside the mobile collapse nav so that it is always shown at all widths  Right align button that is always visible   Related  Bootstrap NavBar with left  center or right aligned items  Update for Bootstrap 5  see this question   ml-auto has been replaced with ms-auto to represent start instead of left
