Answer : With Bootstrap 4 .hidden-* classes were completely removed (yes, they were replaced by hidden-*-* but those classes are also gone from v4 alphas). Starting with v4-beta, you can combine .d-*-none and .d-*-block classes to achieve the same result. visible-* was removed as well; instead of using explicit .visible-* classes, make the element visible by not hiding it (again, use combinations of .d-none .d-md-block). Here is the working example: <div class="col d-none d-sm-block"> <span class="vcard"> … </span> </div> <div class="col d-none d-xl-block"> <div class="d-none d-md-block"> … </div> <div class="d-none d-sm-block"> … </div> </div> class="hidden-xs" becomes class="d-none d-sm-block" (or d-none d-sm-inline-block ) ... <span class="d-none d-sm-inline...
