MMM-NewsAPI

@ufransa You will need to advise which other module you are using. I am assuming that the config you passing in may not be correct. When I run domains: "bbc.co.uk" it worked fine for me without that extra config. Can you confirm which other module you are using so I can check if you have specified that config setting correct.

[ufransa]

@mumblebaj Of course ! This is all my config file:

/* Config Sample
 *
 * For more information on how you can configure this file
 * see https://docs.magicmirror.builders/configuration/introduction.html
 * and https://docs.magicmirror.builders/modules/configuration.html
 *
 * You can use environment variables using a `config.js.template` file instead of `config.js`
 * which will be converted to `config.js` while starting. For more information
 * see https://docs.magicmirror.builders/configuration/introduction.html#enviromnent-variables

let config = {

	// - 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 MagicMirror² is hosted. If you are using a Reverse proxy

@ufransa Ok, I don’t see anything in your config that would cause a problem. However, you do have both MMM-NewsAPI and MMM-calendarExt3 in the exact same position. I am thinking that MMM-CalendarExt3 may be pushing the module off the screen, they both cannot occupy the same space. Try using it in a different position and use the vertical option.

@ufransa pages = MMM-pages

my fork which changes the readme for config

@mumblebaj It could be but after I change the position the result is the same, I can see the header tho but not the news and the API and everything works.

@ufransa Can you check if there are any errors? Check the Console Tab in the Developers Window and check in the pm2 logs if you using pm2 or the terminal if you starting MM with npm start
