      I can’t seem to figure out the code for remoteFile.

      In config.js
      {
      module: “compliments”,
      position: “lower_third”,

         config: {
                       updateInterval: 1500,
                       remoteFile: "compliments.json"
         }
      

      The path for compliments.json is:
      ~/MagicMirror/modules/default/compliments

        Your entry looks ok, aside from the missing closed curly bracket and comma }, that should appear at the end, after the last curly close bracket in your post above.

        One question, are you sure about that updateInterval: 1500,? That’s only 1.5 seconds before a new compliment will appear. The default fade speed for the module is 4 seconds, so your compliments are fading well before they even appear.

        Try updateInterval: 30000, - That’s 30 seconds
