I know this can be off topic but i can't align test in center (vertical align). This is my menu code:
<nav class="menu">
<ul class="active">
<li class="current-item"><a href="#">
<i class="fa fa-home fa-3x" aria-hidden="true"></i><strong class="fa-home-1x home-text">Home</strong></a></li>
<li><a href="#"><i class="fa fa-sign-out fa-3x" aria-hidden="true"></i><strong class="fa-home-1x sign-out-text">Sign Out</strong></a></li>
</ul>
<a class="toggle-nav" href="#"><i class="fa fa-bars"></i></a>
</nav>
and i tried different ways to center Home and Sign Out vertically (should be in a midle of icon) but unsuccessfully.
.home-text{
// wont't work padding-top: 30px;
// wont't work padding-bottom: 30px;
// also i tried with top:10px etc.
}

Just add vertical-align: middle to the li's, like this, and it will work fine
.menu li * {
vertical-align: middle;
}
Sample snippet
.menu li {
list-style-type: none;
}
.menu li * {
vertical-align: middle;
}<link rel="stylesheet" href="">
<nav class="menu">
<ul class="active">
<li class="current-item"><a href="#">
<i class="fa fa-home fa-3x" aria-hidden="true"></i><strong class="fa-home-1x home-text">Home</strong></a></li>
<li><a href="#"><i class="fa fa-sign-out fa-3x" aria-hidden="true"></i><strong class="fa-home-1x sign-out-text">Sign Out</strong></a></li>
</ul>
<a class="toggle-nav" href="#"><i class="fa fa-bars"></i></a>
</nav> .home-text, .sign-out-text{
display: inline-block;
padding-bottom: 25px;
vertical-align: middle;
padding-left: 10px;
}<link rel="stylesheet" href="">
<nav class="menu">
<ul class="active">
<li class="current-item"><a href="#">
<i class="fa fa-home fa-3x" aria-hidden="true"></i><strong class="fa-home-1x home-text">Home</strong></a></li>
<li><a href="#"><i class="fa fa-sign-out fa-3x" aria-hidden="true"></i><strong class="fa-home-1x sign-out-text">Sign Out</strong></a></li>
</ul>
<a class="toggle-nav" href="#"><i class="fa fa-bars"></i></a>
</nav>Try this, set inline-block and vertical-align: middle; to .fa
.menu li .fa{
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
}<link rel=stylesheet href=
<nav class="menu">
<ul class="active">
<li class="current-item"><a href="#">
<i class="fa fa-home fa-3x" aria-hidden="true"></i><strong class="fa-home-1x home-text">Home</strong></a></li>
<li><a href="#"><i class="fa fa-sign-out fa-3x" aria-hidden="true"></i><strong class="fa-home-1x sign-out-text">Sign Out</strong></a></li>
</ul>
<a class="toggle-nav" href="#"><i class="fa fa-bars"></i></a>
</nav>Try this.
Use display: table for parent class and display: table-cell and vertical-align: middle for child class. I have set the height for displaying the content
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Demo Project</title>
<style>
ul li {
height: 100px;
background: grey;
display: table;
border: 1px solid white;
width: 200px;
}
ul li a {
display: table-cell;
vertical-align: middle;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<nav class="menu">
<ul class="active">
<li class="current-item">
<a href="#">
<i class="fa fa-home fa-3x" aria-hidden="true"></i><strong class="fa-home-1x home-text">Home</strong></a>
</li>
<li><a href="#"><i class="fa fa-sign-out fa-3x" aria-hidden="true"></i><strong class="fa-home-1x sign-out-text">Sign Out</strong></a></li>
</ul>
<a class="toggle-nav" href="#"><i class="fa fa-bars"></i></a>
</nav>
</body>
</html>Parent element should have position property set as relative, and then inner element positio n set to absolute, and properties top, bottom, left, right set to 0
So in your case:
.current-item {
position: relative
}
.home-text{
position: absolute;
top: 0;
bottom: 0;
right: 0;
left: 0;
}
