      I have MMM-eswordoftheday installed but have a problem in that it doesn’t automatically update.

      It updates if I restart the MM but not automatically once a day or more frequently.

      What drives the automated updates?

      The pertinent part of config.js is:

          {
            module: 'MMM-eswordoftheday',
            position: 'top_left',
            header: '',
            config: {
              updateInterval: 21600000
            }
      

      I have reduced the update frequency down from 86400000 to 21600000 (what I think is 6 hours) in an effort to sort this, but to no avail!

      Any tips to debug this would be very welcome.

      Thanks.

      Richard

        @rgn01 it only updates once after startup… then never again

        edit the .js file and change line 17 from

            setTimeout(function() {
        

        to

            setInterval(function() {
        

        for grins, and easy testing,
        change updateInterval to 60000 (60 seconds)

          Thanks @sdetweil - I missed your reply until this morning so apologies for not reporting back earlier.

          I have now made the change, to 3 hours, and will watch it. As the source only changes once a day that felt like a sensible compromise to ensure it updates but not too often!

          I’ll confirm in the next few days whether this has worked!

          Thanks again!
