Does this help?????

Yes, I've read that before, but I'm not sure if I can get my webpage to display the correct barometer. Awekas has blocked my barometer since it is too high. I wasn't sure if there was something I could change in the config file to make it work.
You should be able to make it work. The reading on they display should be ignored as that is not the actual data that is being sent over the USB port connection. The data moving over the USB port should be "pressure" (aka "absolute or station"), and you to configure weewx to convert that to "altimeter" or "barometer" as your service wants.
So would I say pressure = barometer under [StdCalibrate] [[Corrections]]?
You can’t put pressure = barometer under [StdCalibrate] [[Corrections]] (well you can but you will likely have no pressures at all or it will stay as is - not sure which). The reason is the Acurite driver emits pressure (or station pressure) only, no barometer, no altimeter. Provided outside temperature and station altitude are present WeeWX will calculate barometer and altimeter. The problem is these obs are calculated after StdCalibrate is applied, so there will be no barometer to assign to pressure in StdCalibrate.
Don’t own an Acurite but my understanding is the displayed pressure is a proprietary calculation and is neither station pressure nor barometer.
If station altitude is correctly set in WeeWX then there should be no need to change any settings; WeeWX will see pressure from the Acurite driver and then calculate barometer and altimeter.
