I have a default bootstrap 5 navbar, but when I try to put a dropdown on the right, the list of dropdown items goes out of the screen on the right. This https://ibb.co/jf3GHfK.
I have tried the solution given to other people, for example here: Bootstrap 4: Dropdown menu is going off to the right of the screen
And here: Bootstrap: Position of dropdown menu relative to navbar item
(I have tried dropdown-menu-right or pull-right, but nothing has worked for me ....)
This is what is not working well:
<ul class="navbar-nav ml-auto">
<li class="nav-item dropdown">
<a
class="nav-link dropdown-toggle"
href="#"
id="navbarDropdown"
role="button"
data-bs-toggle="dropdown"
aria-expanded="false"
>
Username
</a>
<div
class="dropdown-menu dropdown-menu-right"
aria-labelledby="navbarDropdown"
>
<a class="dropdown-item dropdown" href="#"> Edit settings </a>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#"> Edit profile page </a>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#"> Show profile page </a>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#"> Create profile page </a>
</div>
</li>
</ul>
And this is my navbar code:
<nav class="navbar navbar-expand-lg navbar-dark bg-dark">
<div class="container-fluid">
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Blog</a>
<button
class="navbar-toggler"
type="button"
data-bs-toggle="collapse"
data-bs-target="#navbarSupportedContent"
aria-controls="navbarSupportedContent"
aria-expanded="false"
aria-label="Toggle navigation"
>
<span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
</button>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarSupportedContent">
<ul class="navbar-nav me-auto mb-2 mb-lg-0">
<li class="nav-item dropdown">
<a
class="nav-link dropdown-toggle"
href="#"
id="navbarDropdown"
role="button"
data-bs-toggle="dropdown"
aria-expanded="false"
>
Categories
</a>
<ul class="dropdown-menu" aria-labelledby="navbarDropdown">
<li>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Cat1</a>
</li>
<li>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Cat2</a>
</li>
<li>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#">Cat3</a>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Add post</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Add category</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Logout</a>
</li>
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="#">Sign in</a>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
<!-- This is what is not working well -->
<ul class="navbar-nav ml-auto">
<li class="nav-item dropdown">
<a
class="nav-link dropdown-toggle"
href="#"
id="navbarDropdown"
role="button"
data-bs-toggle="dropdown"
aria-expanded="false"
>
{{ user.first_name }} {{ user.last_name }}
</a>
<div
class="dropdown-menu dropdown-menu-right"
aria-labelledby="navbarDropdown"
>
<a class="dropdown-item dropdown" href="#"> Edit settings </a>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#"> Edit profile page </a>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#"> Show profile page </a>
<a class="dropdown-item" href="#"> Create profile page </a>
</div>
</li>
</ul>

Make sure you are reading the correct documentation for the version you are using:
https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.0/components/dropdowns/#menu-alignment
You will see that v5 uses .dropdown-menu-end for a right-aligned menu.
