Bootstrap - "component is not fully compatible with current bootstrap"

Everything was working great using Bootstrap 4. I had left my project for one week and when I returned, the navigation bar had reverted back to a simple text format. I tried to troubleshoot what happened and decided to delete the entire 'Navbar' (fixed to top) and start over. When I added the new 'Navbar' the following error came up:

"The component is not fully compatible with the current Bootstrap CSS/JS file (lower than v3.0). A new Bootstrap CSS/JS file will be created and linked from the document."

I was still unable to add a 'Navbar' with the styling it is supposed to have. I moved on to add a 'Grid Row With Column' and again the same error came up. I was also unable to see the Div unless I added text within it. Before I was at least able to see a blue border around the div with the ability to scale the columns in or out. After the error began this was also affected.

I have screenshots, if needed.

Please help!

Bootstrap version 3 is not compatible with version 4. 

You should  have only one reference to Bootstrap, Popper and jQuery. 

Also check your code for validation errors.

Hi,

Thanks for reporting. Could you please check that if you have used bootstrap.css in your file which is of version lower than 3.0.

Thanks

Make sure that you are in Live view and try again.

Yes, I have tried this with no success. I have tried a few things from forum posts with the same situation.

I thought that I would try it myself and, as I thought, no problems.

If my Dreamweaver came with the problems that you are describing, then I would go through a list, namely

  • site setup
  • preferences
  • cache file
  • configuration folder
  • Adobe cleaner tool
