Hi,
Not sure about the vertical centering. Maybe someone else has some better advice. What I do is setting a value for top and bottom margin that looks fine on my monitor' e.g. like this:
#cc_webcalendar { margin: 80px auto 80px; width: 500px;}
It will not exactly center it vertically, but it keeps at least the said margin above and below. You'll have to remember, though, that not all monitors have the same size, so the result might not always be the best.
Ha en riktig god dag!

Thanks! 
I knew it was something with 50%, but I was not able to remember the bit about the negative margin!

1. Hey Tom, could you put it in normal looking code? It is all spread out to the right instead on up and down.
2. How would this be inserted into the page to center the calendar?

Mark, to get this into your page, take this chunk:
...and insert it into your exported monthstyles.css. You can put it in right at the bottom. Then change the following:
'#center' to '.center'
the width from 400px to 700px
the height to something like 750px
the two margins have to be exactly half of the width and height as negative values.
Leave the blue background in for now, we'll use that in a bit.
In the exported calendar.html change this line:
You will see that I have added class="center" to the original div.
Now, since the height of the calendar is calculated by the programme, we don't know the exact height - yet. Therefore, when you look at the result, you will have some blue colour sticking out below the calendar. Then reduce the height in the css file, say to 748px - and the margin-top to -374px, and go on reducing until the blue colour is no more visible, then you have the height.
#center {
position:absolute;
width:400px;
height:300px;
left:50%;
top:50%;
margin-left:-200px;
margin-top:-150px;

I tried using the new web calender 5.0 in wordpress.
I wanted it in the sidebar, so I opened an html widget and posted both pieces of code inside.
It actually worked perfect on the home page but not on other pages. I know this happened because I should add the absolute paths to the code.
However, I couldn't get it to work on other pages even when I did this.
I didn't persevere because I also noticed that when I added the calender code, it messed up the text colours in my nav bar.
I gather thats because of placing the code that should be between the head tags in a sidebar widget.
Can anyone help?

I've since added the code in the <head> section of wordpress and although the calender shows up, the nav bar text has disapeared again.
Have something to add? We’d love to hear it!
