In Bootstrap v3 I often use the hidden-** classes combined with clearfix to control multi column layouts at different screen widths. For example,

Update for Bootstrap 5 (2020)
Bootstrap 5 (currently alpha) has a new xxl breakpoint. Therefore display classes have a new tier to support this:
Hidden only on xxl: d-xxl-none
Visible only on xxl: d-none d-xxl-block
Bootstrap 4 (2018)
The hidden-*
and visible-*
classes no longer exist in Bootstrap 4. If you want to hide an element on specific tiers or breakpoints in Bootstrap 4, use the d-*
display classes accordingly.
Remember that extra-small/mobile (formerly xs
) is the default (implied) breakpoint, unless overridden by a larger breakpoint. Therefore, the -xs
infix no longer exists in Bootstrap 4.
Show/hide for breakpoint and down:
hidden-xs-down (hidden-xs)
= d-none d-sm-block
hidden-sm-down (hidden-sm hidden-xs)
= d-none d-md-block
hidden-md-down (hidden-md hidden-sm hidden-xs)
= d-none d-lg-block
hidden-lg-down
= d-none d-xl-block
hidden-xl-down
(n/a 3.x) = d-none
(same as hidden
)Show/hide for breakpoint and up:
hidden-xs-up
= d-none
(same as hidden
)hidden-sm-up
= d-sm-none
hidden-md-up
= d-md-none
hidden-lg-up
= d-lg-none
hidden-xl-up
(n/a 3.x) = d-xl-none
Show/hide only for a single breakpoint:
hidden-xs
(only) = d-none d-sm-block
(same as hidden-xs-down
)hidden-sm
(only) = d-block d-sm-none d-md-block
hidden-md
(only) = d-block d-md-none d-lg-block
hidden-lg
(only) = d-block d-lg-none d-xl-block
hidden-xl
(n/a 3.x) = d-block d-xl-none
visible-xs
(only) = d-block d-sm-none
visible-sm
(only) = d-none d-sm-block d-md-none
visible-md
(only) = d-none d-md-block d-lg-none
visible-lg
(only) = d-none d-lg-block d-xl-none
visible-xl
(n/a 3.x) = d-none d-xl-block

can be replaced with d-*-inline
, d-*-flex
, d-*-table-cell
, d-*-table
etc.. depending on the display type of the element. Read more on the display classes
