Common Issues

Members can't open tickets

  • "You already have an active ticket" — each member can have one open ticket at a time. Close it, or point them to the channel the message names.
  • "Blacklisted" — check /blacklist list.
  • Ticket creation fails — the bot likely lacks Manage Channels on the category. See Discord Permissions.

/close says I lack permission

You need Administrator or an Elevated Role. Staff without one should use /closerequest.

/reopen ticket:<n> is refused

Message Fix
"Only admins can reopen a ticket by number" You need Administrator or an Elevated Role.
"not found" Check the number against the closure log — it's the part after the last dash.
"is not closed" The ticket is still open, claimed, or waiting on a scheduled close.
"already has an active ticket" The opener has another open ticket. Close it first.
"category … no longer exists" Re-create the category or set its Discord location, then retry.
"opener is no longer in this server" The member has to rejoin first.

Staff can't see a ticket

Check which of these applies:

  • The ticket is claimed. Claiming hides it from support roles. Roles that should always see it go in 👁️ See-All Roles.
  • The category has its own support roles. Those replace the global ones for that category. Add the role to the category, or to 👁️ See-All Roles.
  • The role only has Elevated. Elevated Roles can close instantly but can't see tickets. Also add a support or see-all role.
  • The ticket was open before you changed support roles. Support role changes only affect new tickets (See-All Roles update open tickets right away).

See Support Roles.

Transcript wasn't DMed

The opener has DMs closed, or DM Transcripts is disabled. The log channel copy is always available if a log channel is set.

Buttons are greyed out in the dashboard

A prerequisite is off — for example Edit Agreement needs Agreement enabled, and Set Plugin List needs Source Select.
