      I even tried installing a stocks module by following a video of someone making their module and followed it to a tee but still didn’t get the module to work. It’s so frustrating!

          As I know, all the STOCK modules don’t work, because vendor API is blocked…

            @Sean What about the first problem I had with the Google Maps Traffic Module not loading while the rest of the mirror started up? Is it because of where I placed it in the config file?

              I’m not familiar with that module. So I don’t know exactly.
              As I see, there are some syntax errors in your module config.

                              {
                          		module: 'MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic',
                          		config: {
                              	   key: 'AIzaSyBYRxkk4P4qB5ob506t1b5UHOBYVYntnfs',
                              	   lat: 37.8262306,
                              	   lng: -122.2920096,
                              	   height: '300px',
                              	   width: '300px',
                                      } // I think this bracket missed.
                               },
                    ] // And this also.
              

              But I’m not sure this is the main reason of your problem.

                @Sean I made those changes, but my magic mirror is working but not displaying that module.

                  Ok. There is no error but MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic is not shown, right?
                  You can try this

                  cd ~/MagicMirror
                  npm start dev
                  

                  It will open your mirror with developer console something similar with this.
                  img
                  Then you can check there would be some errors(See the red circled X on the image) or warnings. You can find details in console tab.
                  And you can check your terminal log also.

                  If there is no suspicious point at all, but except that module everything is fine, Just that module has trouble you can not fix easily. Ask the developer directly on Github issue board.

                    I’ve found what is wrong.
                    you should set position of this module.

                    module: 'MMM-GoogleMapsTraffic',
                    position: 'top_left', //this is missed.
                    config: {
                    

                    manual of @vicmora has missed this.
