CSS Bootstrap Basics Using Bootstrap Components Inline Navs and Dropdown Buttons

Bootstrap Split Toggle Dropdown showing, despite .visually-hidden

I'm trying to do a split toggle dropdown nav menu. The 'toggle dropdown' should be hidden, but is visible despite having a class="visually-hidden". How do I make it not visible?

Code was copied/pasted straight from the bootstrap website, only

Here's the code for the dropdown menu. (I'm actually doing a dropup, but same deal).

<div class="btn-group dropup">
  <button type="button" class="btn btn-danger">
    Other Confs
  </button>
  <button type="button" class="btn btn-danger dropdown-toggle dropdown-toggle-split" data-bs-toggle="dropdown" aria-expanded="false">
    <span class="visually-hidden">Toggle Dropdown</span>
  </button>
  <ul class="dropdown-menu">
    <a class="dropdown-item" href="">CSS Conf</a>
  </ul>
</div>```

Are you using Bootstrap 4 or Bootstrap 5? If you are using Bootstrap 4, you could try adding the class "sr-only".

jb30,

that worked actually. It needed sr-only. I'm surprised it didn't work since I updated the javascript file and copied this dropdown off the website. but idk.

Thanks for your help!
