    Whilst the config.js now loads, it’s not showing the new, replacement compliments.

    I’ve restarted NPM, no change.

    I’ve powered Pi off & on, no change.

       {
      	module: 'compliments',
      	position: 'lower_third',
                  config: {
                      anytime: [
                          "Compliment 1",
                          "Compliment 2",
                          "Compliment 3"
                      ],
      		morning: [
                          "morning Compliment 1",
                          "morning Compliment 2",
                          "morning Compliment 3"
      		],
      		afternoon: [
                          "afternoon Compliment 1",
                          "afternoon Compliment 2",
                          "afternoon Compliment 3"
      		],
      		evening: [
                          "evening Compliment 1",
                          "evening Compliment 2",
                          "evening Compliment 3"
      		]
                      }
      		}, 
      

      try this please. I do remember there was something like “all 3 cases need to exist, otherwise it takes default values for this”

          No difference, still uses default compliments:

                      config: {
                          anytime: [
                              "Compliment 1",
                              "Compliment 2",
                              "Compliment 3"
                          ],
                          morning: [
                              "morning Compliment 1",
                              "morning Compliment 2",
                              "morning Compliment 3"
                          ],
                          afternoon: [
                              "afternoon Compliment 1",
                              "afternoon Compliment 2",
                              "afternoon Compliment 3"
                          ],
                          evening: [
                              "evening Compliment 1",
                              "evening Compliment 2",
                              "evening Compliment 3"
                          ]
                      }
          		},

            Changing it to remoteFile, as described here, it works.

            Well, only after it’s still displayed all the default messages.

              Still not picking up different compliments:

              		{
              			module: 'compliments',
              			position: 'lower_third',
                          config: {
              			anytime: [
              				"Hey!"
              			],
              			morning: [
              				"Good morning, handsome!",
              				"Enjoy your day!",
              				"How was your sleep?"
              			],
              			afternoon: [
              				"Hello, beauty!",
              				"You look sexy!",
              				"Looking good today!"
              			],
              			evening: [
              				"Wow!",
              				"You!",
              				"Hi!"
              			]
              		},
              		updateInterval: 30000,
              		remoteFile: null,
              		fadeSpeed: 4000
              			/*config: {
              				remoteFile: 'compliments.json'
              			}*/
              		},

                Another day, still no change, compliments ignoring whatever is in config.js.

                Thank you.

                  Do you edit the config.js?
                  Well… you could be a outlaw and edit the “~/MagicMirror/modules/default/compliments/compliments.js”.
                  I’ve done that before and it works. But beware of typos. Make a backup! :)

                    That’s what I have done now, but it is only a fudge, a workaround.

                    What’s the problem with using config.js to make changes to the compliments module, why doesn’t it work?

                      @Richard238 I live with the idea that “if it work, dont ask why”.
                      So I can’t explain why config.js dont work.
