How can I center button text both horizontally and vertically in Webflow without using flexbox?

To center button text both horizontally and vertically without using flexbox in Webflow, you can use a combination of text alignment, line-height, and padding.

1. Set Text Alignment to Center

• Select your button in Webflow Designer.
• In the Style panel, set Text Align to center under the Typography section.
• This ensures horizontal centering of the text inside the button.

2. Match Line Height to Button Height

• Set the Line Height of the text to be equal to the height of the button.
• For example, if your button height is 40px, set the line height to 40px as well.
• This vertically centers the text by using the height of the line box.

3. Remove Vertical Padding (Optional)

• If you're using line-height for vertical centering, then:
• Remove or reduce vertical padding (top and bottom) to 0 or small values.
• Keep in mind that extra padding will shift the perceived center.

4. Horizontal Padding for Width

• Add left and right padding to control the button’s width and spacing around the text.
• For example, use 20px left and right padding to create space on both sides.

5. Set Display to Inline-Block or Block

• Ensure the button is set to Display: inline-block or block (not inline).
• This allows you to control width, height, line-height, and padding accurately.

Summary

To center button text without flexbox in Webflow, use centered text alignment and match line-height to button height while removing vertical padding. This method reliably centers the text both horizontally and vertically.
