Problems with /setup
What the /setup error messages mean and how to fix them.
Messages and fixes
| You see | What to do |
|---|---|
| Missing Permissions: the bot needs Manage Channels | Give the Logs Bot role Manage Channels in Server Settings → Roles, then run /setup again. |
| Channel Limit Warning | Your server would go over Discord’s channel limit. Pick fewer categories, or delete channels you don’t use. |
| Setup Timeout | More than 10 minutes passed. Run /setup again. |
| This is not your setup! | Only the person who ran /setup can click its buttons. Run your own. |
| Manage Server permission required. | You need the Manage Server permission to run /setup. |
| Setup Complete! with errors | Some channels couldn’t be created. The message lists up to five reasons. Fix the cause and set the missing ones with /set-logs. |
Too many channels?
You don’t need one channel per log type. Instead of /setup, use /set-logs with All to send whole categories to a few channels you already have.
