Troubleshooting & FAQ

Having trouble using Elysium Bot? Don’t worry — this page covers common issues, tips for fixing them, and how to report more serious bugs.

Common Fixes

The bot isn’t responding to commands

• Make sure Elysium has permission to read and send messages in the channel.
• Make sure you’re using slash commands (/), not typing like a text command.
• If the bot was recently added, it may take a moment to register commands — try reinviting it or waiting 1–2 minutes.

I got an error message

Elysium uses Discord’s embed system to let you know what went wrong — if you see an error, try reading the message closely.

If the error says something is “missing”:

• Double-check if you filled out all required fields (anything in < > is required).

If the error says the bot doesn’t have permission:

• An admin may need to adjust channel or role permissions.

When in Doubt, Try:

• Refreshing your Discord app
• Trying the same command in a different channel or server or even try it in DMs
• Using /help to verify the command name and structure
• Checking that any required channels or roles have been set up via /channel view
