[SOLVED] Workspace module not showing, "warn: no monitor

when i run polybar i'm shown this error "warn: No monitor specified, using "LVDS1"" and showing other modules except the workspace module.
But i had this same config yesterday and it was running flawlessly.
my younger brother might have done something that i am not able to find out.
In my polybar openboc-bar config i have
"monitor= "
I have only the laptop monitor so i dont need to specify the monitor?

Re: [SOLVED] Workspace module not showing, "warn: no monitor

Set VDU specifically and fix those code tags plz
IE:

[bar/main]
      monitor = DVI-0

yours may differ from DVI-O

Thanks, i just assumed the formating to be markdown.
By the way, my problem is solved.
