Flexbox margin-top: auto not pushing item to bottom

Question

I have want the UL to push to the bottom of the container for each item. I have margin-top:auto set for the item but it is not working. I have another demo that works but this is the one that I need to use. Any help?

Answer 1

The parent element isn't display: flex; even though you've specified that because there is another rule overwriting it with display: block!important;.

• display: block!important is coming from bootstrap.css on line 6636 and another on line 6554.

.featured-products-carousel {
  display: flex;
  flex-wrap: nowrap;
  justify-content: space-between;
  margin: 0 auto;
  max-width: 1150px;
  width: 80%;
}
.featured-products-carousel .item {
  background-color: white;
  padding: 20px;
  align-items: stretch;
  display: flex!important;
  flex-direction: column;
  margin: 10px;
  padding: 0;
  flex: 1 1 auto;
  flex-wrap: wrap;
}
.featured-products-carousel .item h2 {
  text-align: center;
  padding: 8px 5px;
}
.featured-products-carousel .item .featured-product-description {
  margin-bottom: auto;
}
.featured-products-carousel .item .featured-products-links {
  margin-top: auto;
}
.featured-products-carousel .item ul {
  margin-top: auto;
}
