    I followed the readme and inserted into the config as:

    /* Magic Mirror Config Sample

    var config = {
    	address: "localhost", 	// Address to listen on, can be:
    							// - "localhost", "127.0.0.1", "::1" to listen on loopback interface
    							// - another specific IPv4/6 to listen on a specific interface
    							// - "0.0.0.0", "::" to listen on any interface
    							// Default, when address config is left out or empty, is "localhost"
    	port: 8080,
    	basePath: "/", 	// The URL path where MagicMirror is hosted. If you are using a Reverse proxy
    					// you must set the sub path here. basePath must end with a /
    	ipWhitelist: ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1"], 	// Set [] to allow all IP addresses
    															// or add a specific IPv4 of 192.168.1.5 :

    	useHttps: false, 		// Support HTTPS or not, default "false" will use HTTP

    	language: "en",

    	timeFormat: 12,
    	units: "imperial",
    	// serverOnly:  true/false/"local" ,
    	// local for armv6l processors, default
    	//   starts serveronly and then starts chrome browser
    	// false, default for all NON-armv6l devices
    	// true, force serveronly mode, because you want to.. no UI on this device
    
    	modules: [
    		{
    			module: "alert",
    		},
    		{
    			module: "updatenotification",
    			position: "top_bar"
    		},
    		{
    			module: "clock",

    		{

    		},
    		{

    		{
    			module: 'MMM-JokeAPI',
    			position: 'top_bar',
    			config: {
    				category: 'Any'
    			}
    		},
    		{
    			module: "newsfeed",
    			position: "bottom_bar",
    			config: {
    				feeds: [
    					{
    						title: "Washington Post",
    						url: "http://feeds.washingtonpost.com/rss/national?itid=lk_inline_manual_38"
    					}
    				],
    				showSourceTitle: true,
    				showPublishDate: true,
    				broadcastNewsFeeds: true,
    				broadcastNewsUpdates: true
    			}
    		},
    	]
    };
    
    /*************** DO NOT EDIT THE LINE BELOW ***************/
    if (typeof module !== "undefined") {module.exports = config;}
    
    

    (less some api/location stuff for other modules)
    I placed the joke api master in the module folder, next to the default one. I honestly have no idea what I could have done wrong. I’ve restarted multiple times.

        @releasefootball said in Joke API doesn't show up at all? No errors:

        MMM-JokeAPI

        Not sure what’s going on there… I tried the url and it’s working… try using double quotes like this:

        category: "any"

            @sdetweil Still don’t think that’s his problem. I think he has a conflict OR he copied the config from the repository and his quotes are not right. You know how that works.
