    @CyanKali I live in french so it should be pretty much the same date. Try debugging.
    add the following line just before the if
    console.log('The date is : "' + moment().format('MMM D , h:mm a')+'"')
    Then run the mirror in dev mode . (go into the MagicMirror folder and run DISPLAY=:0 npm start dev) choose the tab “console”. And wait to see the message “the date is blablabla” apear and copy past the message here so we know what your magic mirror think the date is. Maybe it think your on the united state or something
    If that the case I don’t know how to tell moments to check the date from another country. you might want to change the function then.

    Search “how to get the date from a specific country in jacascript” on google and you might find the right function to do it.
    The only thing you have to know is that the " == " mean “equal”. The if mean that if the left part of the operation is equal to the right part, then you do the line bellow.
    So you need to replace the moment thing by another function.

    Maybe someone in this forum now how to tell moment the timezone it have to use

      @romain I figured it out! The console showed me it was April 29 today (which is the right date), but it was written as “Apr. 29”, so with a dot behind the month. I tried writing it like this in the code and now it works!
      So it has to be:

      if (moment().format('MMM D') == 'Apr. 29')
      

      and then it works :)
      And now I know how to run my mirror in dev mode, which will be useful in the future ;) Thank you!

        @CyanKali Great =D . I guess that for some reason your moment.js doesn’t print the same thing as mine x) (which is kinda weird but fine)

          @romain moment uses different locales for dates and so on based on the language set

          Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

            In case someone is still wondering how to simply display set compliments on set days: ```

            complimentArray: function() {
            		var hour = moment().hour();
            		var date = moment().format('DDMM');  \\add this into compliments.js
            		var compliments;
            
            		if (hour >= this.config.morningStartTime && hour < this.config.morningEndTime && this.config.compliments.hasOwnProperty("morning")) {
            			compliments = this.config.compliments.morning.slice(0);
            		} else if (hour >= this.config.afternoonStartTime && hour < this.config.afternoonEndTime && this.config.compliments.hasOwnProperty("afternoon")) {
            			compliments = this.config.compliments.afternoon.slice(0);
            		} else if(this.config.compliments.hasOwnProperty("evening")) {
            			compliments = this.config.compliments.evening.slice(0);
            		}
            
            		if (typeof compliments === "undefined") {
            			compliments = new Array();
            		}
            		
            
            		if (this.currentWeatherType in this.config.compliments) {
            			compliments.push.apply(compliments, this.config.compliments[this.currentWeatherType]);
            		}
            
              	    if (date in this.config.compliments) {
            			compliments.push.apply(compliments, this.config.compliments[date]);
            		} \\add these 3 lines into compliments.js
            
            		compliments.push.apply(compliments, this.config.compliments.anytime);
            
            		return compliments;
            	}, 
            

            Example:

            anytime: [
            				"Hey there sexy!"
            			],
            			morning: [
            				"Good morning, handsome!",
            				"Enjoy your day!",
            				"How was your sleep?"
            			],
            			afternoon: [
            				"Hello, beauty!",
            				"You look sexy!",
            				"Looking good today!"
            			],
            			"1005": [
            				"Today is May 10th",
            				"You look nice!",
            				"Hi, sexy!"
            			] 
            		},
            

            EDIT:
            Anyone know how to show compliments on days without a set date each year, like Christmas, but something like the second Sunday of May, like Mother’s day?

              @itsmecobra2006
              Hi this is my config

              {
              			module: "compliments",
              			position: "lower_third",
              			config: {	
              			        "1401": [
              				"Auguri!!"			
              			] 
              			}
              			},
              

              But today 14/01/2019 the “Auguri!!” doesn’t show.
              Any Idea?
              Thanks
