for some reason im facing issues with having my bot read the messages in my server and replying to them , i even gave it the admin role, still it doesn't reply to me , yet when i run the same command in a DM it works , please let me know if theres a work around
It sounds like your bot might be encountering issues specific to server text channels. Here are a few things to check: 1. Intents: Make sure you've enabled the necessary gateway intents in both your Discord developer portal and your bot's code. For reading messages, you'll need the 'Message Content Intent' and 'Guild Messages Intent'. 2. Permissions: Even with the admin role, double-check the channel-specific permissions to ensure the bot has access to read messages and send messages in the particular channel you're testing. 3. Code Logic: Verify that your code doesn't have any conditions that prevent it from responding in server channels (like checks for DMs). 4. Event Handling: Ensure you're using the right event listener for messages (`on_message` or a command decorator like `@bot.command()`). 5. Error Logging: Implement error logging to catch and understand any issues that occur when the bot fails to respond in the server. Remember to restart your bot after making changes to its code or permissions. Hope this helps you troubleshoot the issue!
This was really helpful, you're amazing ♡ I was trying the old method to add commands but iirc discord removed prefix commands for python. I would like to do this method in cogs. I'm not sure how to do that yet.
