    When I went to the config folder none of the previous edits were there.

    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.

      Is it an app or an online thing, or something integrated into this forum?

          @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.

            @broberg I don’t get it. I have not copied any file into another one (does it automatically happen?) Should I copy this file? How? I have tried editing the regular config, and haven’t touched the sample one. Should I?

              @ghaal you copy the sample file ONCE after you have installed the mirror software.

              But it looked like you where repeating the copy command ( cp = copy ) before you started the mirror (npm start ) and IF you do this each time, it doesn’t matter what you have saved in the config.js file since it will be overwritten each time you type in : cp config.js.sample config.js

                    @ghaal {

                    		module: "currentweather",
                    
                    		position: "top_right",
                    
                    		config: {
                    
                    			location: "Irvine",
                    
                    			locationID: "5359777",
                    
                    			appid: "ee6dbcc4823bb3f9a7f26c49fa64729c"
                    
                    		}
                    
                    	},
                    
                    	{
                    
                    		module: "weatherforecast",
                    
                    		position: "top_right",
                    
                    		header: "Weather Forecast",
                    
                    		config: {
                    
                    			location: "BlahBlah",
                    
                    			locationID: "####",
                    
                    			appid: "blahblahblah"
                    
                    		}
                    

                    that’s a more accurate of focast and current, both don’t show on the magicmirror page. I made sure not to add extra spaces when removing my appid and location.

                      Here it is! You can copy and paste right from here into your config

                                    {
                      		module: "currentweather",

                      			location: "Irvine",
                      			locationID: "5359777",
                      			appid: "YOUR API KEY"
                      		}
                      		},
                      		{
                      		module: "weatherforecast",
                      		position: "top_right",
                      		header: "Weather Forecast",
                      		config: {
                      			location: "Irvine",
                      			locationID: "5359777",
                      			appid: "YOUR API KEY"
                      		}
                      		}, // end of weatherforecast entry needs a comma
                      

                      Create a working config
