Questions

How to create a Telegram Bot

How do I create a bot?.

Why Legacy Widget shows nothing?

Legacy Widget does not show the old messages.

You need to post something new into the group/channel and wait for 5 minutes for the messages to appear.

If you are too impatient to wait for the results, open the URL under Tip!💡 (below the instructions) in your browser.

Note: Please ensure to follow the instructions given on the settings page correctly.

Why do I see my own website in the widget?

It means that there is something wrong with the permalinks on your website.

Simply goto wp-admin > Settings > Permalinks and just Save Changes.

That should fix it. If it doesn’t, please let us know at @WPTelegramSupport.
