      @Mykle1 If it gets too complex, I will work my way over there, but I have a feeling this should be fairly simple as pointing in the right direction ;)

          Sorry, I haven’t replied in like two weeks, but I ran into some major problems. My brother broke my HDMI cable while it was plugged into my monitor and I take to take off half the plastic to take the head out of the monitor. Then I had to put the plastic back on so it would fit in my frame again. I also had to order a new cable. But I’m here and ready to work on it thank you.

              @hartattack Okay, I got to the config folder. I saw all my modules there and I edited the weather modules so they have the location ID an appid and clock module so it has the 12 hour format, saved, and restarted my Pi. I turned on the Pi using:

              pi@magicpi:~ $ cd MagicMirror/config
              pi@magicpi:~/MagicMirror/config $ cp config.js.sample config.js
              You can now try to start MagicMirror².

              pi@magicpi:~/MagicMirror/config $ cd $HOME/MagicMirror
              pi@magicpi:~/MagicMirror $ npm start

              I got that code from: https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/236/complete-setup-tutorial/6

              When I turned it on though, none of the edits I made were showing. The weather wasn’t showing and the clock was still in 24 hour format. When I went to the config folder none of the previous edits were there.

                @Mykle1 I don’t have it and I don’t know what it is TBH. Is it an app or an online thing, or something integrated into this forum?

                  It sounds like you didn’t save the config.js after you edited it. Copy and paste your config.js here so we can take a look at it.

                        @ghaal this line cp config.js.sample config.js
                        Copys the sample config to the config.js file and should only be done once. If you do this everytime you start your mirror you will keep replacing your config.j s file with the sample config.
