`col-xs-*` not working in Bootstrap 4
HtmlCssTwitter BootstrapTwitter Bootstrap-4Text AlignmentHtml Problem Overview
I have not encountered this before, and I am having a very hard time trying to find the solution. When having a column equal to medium in bootstrap like so:
<h1 class="text-center">Hello, world!</h1>
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12 text-center">
<h1>vicki williams</h1>
</div>
</div>
</div>
The text-align works fine:
But when making the column equal to extra small like so:
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-xs-12 text-center">
<h1>vicki williams</h1>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Then the text-align no longer works:
Is there some bootstrap concept that I am not understanding or is this in fact a error like I think it is. I have never had this issue, as my text always has aligned in the past with xs. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is my complete code:

Solution 1 - Html
col-xs-* have been dropped in Bootstrap 4 in favor of col-*.
Replace col-xs-12 with col-12 and it will work as expected.
Also note col-xs-offset-{n} were replaced by offset-{n} in v4.
Solution 2 - Html
I just wondered, why col-xs-6 did not work for me but then I found the answer in the Bootstrap 4 documentation. The class prefix for extra small devices is now col- while in the previous versions it was col-xs.
https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.1/layout/grid/#grid-options
Bootstrap 4 dropped all col-xs-* classes, so use col-* instead. For example col-xs-6 replaced by col-6.
Solution 3 - Html
They dropped XS because Bootstrap is considered a mobile-first development tool. It's default is considered xs and so doesn't need to be defined.
Solution 4 - Html
In Bootstrap 4.3, col-xs-{value} is replaced by col-{value}
There is no change in sm, md, lg, xl remains the same.
.col-{value}
.col-sm-{value}
.col-md-{value}
.col-lg-{value}
.col-xl-{value}
Solution 5 - Html
you could do this, if you want to use the old syntax (or don't want to rewrite every template)
@for $i from 1 through $grid-columns {
@include media-breakpoint-up(xs) {
.col-xs-#{$i} {
@include make-col-ready();
@include make-col($i);
}
}
}
Solution 6 - Html
If you want to apply an extra small class in Bootstrap 4,you need to use col-. important thing to know is that col-xs- is dropped in Bootstrap4
