Oh, awesome thank you. I wasn’t too sure whether to use custom.css or main.css - obviously I made the wrong choice haha. Thank you for the advice :)

RE: Certain Modules Making Screen Blank
@cowboysdude What’s annoying me the most is the fact that I haven’t altered anything major in the code - it’s pretty much all as downloaded. The only thing I’ve changed is main.css, when I changed the background from black to a picture.
Thank you for taking a look at it and giving me advice - I think I’m just going to start over and hope for the best. Thanks for your time!

RE: Certain Modules Making Screen Blank
This has been driving me crazy for a couple of days now - if we can’t find a solution, would it be worth me starting over? As in, completely re-formatting my SD card, reinstalling Magic Mirror and all? I may not have formatted my SD card correctly the first time, which is making me wonder if that’s the issue.
I’m only a few days into doing this, so it wouldn’t be that big a deal if it were likely to fix it.

RE: Certain Modules Making Screen Blank
@cowboysdude I’ve done that, but it’s still doing the same thing.

RE: Certain Modules Making Screen Blank
@cowboysdude Yeah, as far as I can tell everything went fine.

RE: Certain Modules Making Screen Blank
@cowboysdude I believe so? I downloaded Magic Mirror 3 days ago, so I’m assuming I’m running the latest version.

RE: Certain Modules Making Screen Blank
@cowboysdude That’s the way I originally did it - I added them one at a time. Even individually, they still made the same thing happen. Thanks for letting me know about the Todoist one, though - I’ll have to take a closer look at it, or more likely just take it out entirely.
I even went as far as to add the default calender code from the original config.js.sample file instead of my own - but that made the same thing happen too. Could it be something to do with the module coding? Or the way it’s trying to access the information from the internet?

Certain Modules Making Screen Blank
I’m really new to Raspberry Pi/Linux/90% of the code used here, so this is likely to be a dumb, easy fix (at least, I really hope so since it’s been driving me crazy!).
I’m able to get the clock, currentweather and weatherforecast modules working perfectly. However, when I attempt to add any other modules (calendar, newsfeed, even some additional downloaded ones such as MMM-Todoist and MMM-RottenTomatoes) the screen appears completely blank.
I’m planning on using this as an info screen type thing, rather than a mirror, so I have a background image which still appears like normal when this happens; all that happens is that no modules appear. Can anyone help with this? I’ll include my config.js code below; everything after weatherforecast is the stuff that doesn’t work - I’ve also removed all of my info.
