Center Text in Div
Posted on 2015-01-21
I am sure there is a simple solution that I am missing, but I've stared at this too long and I can get it to work. You can view the active page at http://starofthesouth.org/. I am just trying to center the three links (redeem CE, attendee and exhibitor) on the page.
Code follows. Thanks in advance.

Remove the break tags <br/> from the HTML file:
<div class="home-links">
<?php
$SQL = mysql_query("Select * from wp_posts where post_type = 'page' and post_parent = 0 and post_status = 'publish' order by menu_order ") or die(mysql_error());
for ($i = 0; $i < mysql_num_rows($SQL); $i++){
?>
<a href="<?php echo get_permalink( mysql_result($SQL,$i,'ID')
<?php echo mysql_result($SQL,$i,'post
</a>
<br/> ***remove this line***
<?php } ?>
</div>
</div>
Then in your CSS file, remove the "float: left" tag:
.home-center-body a{
font-size:40px;
color:#FFF;
padding: 10px;
border:1px solid #fff;
border-radius: 10px;
-moz-border-radius: 10px;
-webkit-border-radius: 10px;
text-transform:uppercase;
letter-spacing:4px;
float: left; ***remove this line***
margin: 0 0 0 15px;
}
<div class="home-links">
<?php
$SQL = mysql_query("Select * from wp_posts where post_type = 'page' and post_parent = 0 and post_status = 'publish' order by menu_order ") or die(mysql_error());
for ($i = 0; $i < mysql_num_rows($SQL); $i++){
?>
<a href="<?php echo get_permalink( mysql_result($SQL,$i,'ID')
<?php echo mysql_result($SQL,$i,'post
</a>
<br/> ***remove this line***
<?php } ?>
</div>
</div>
