We investigate partial symmetry of solutions to semi-linear and quasi-linear elliptic problems with convex nonlinearities, in domains that are either axially symmetric or radially symmetric. The semi-linear problems are studied in a framework where the associated functional is of class $C^1$ but not of class $C^2$.
