      @Mikgabo I unplugged the pi, removed the SD, and changed the rotate setting. Then, I put it back in and plugged the pi back in.

        @greenwaydev I’m thinking you aren’t making the adjustment in the right location (possibly).

        Try this from terminal:

        sudo nano /boot/config.txt
        

        and add the following to the file. Where you add it doesn’t really matter:

        # Rotate display virtically
        display_rotate=0

              @greenwaydev Here is a great tutorial that can help you learn your way around MM.
              https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/236/complete-setup-tutorial/6

              I would recommend, once you get your MM configured the way you like to make a back up of it using win32 disk imager (make sure .img is on the end of the file or it won’t save as a disc image). That way if you mess up your SD card somehow you have a back up to use.

                I used the image that was posted a few comments back. I can NOT for the life of me get the wireless to connect. I have followed every guide I can find and it will not connect. I have tried DHCP and static. I’m out of ideas.

                    @justindp2006 so you followed the guide and entered you ssid and password?
                    You could try the terminal command

                    sudo raspi-config
                    

                    And set up wifi via the on screen menu.

                    Failing that u could set up a wpa supplicant file and insert it in your sd card

                    Hope this helps
