Wody Help

Help, guides and FAQ

Everything you need to get Wody running, configure your server and find answers when something does not work as expected.

Getting started

How do I add Wody?+
Use the Invite Wody button or open wody.online/invite. Discord will open directly so you can choose your server and authorize Wody.
Do I need to host Wody?+
No. Wody runs on its own infrastructure. Invite the bot, open the dashboard and configure your server.
Where do I configure Wody?+
Open the Dashboard, choose your server and select the module you want to configure.
Do dashboard changes need a restart?+
No. Changes are saved to the server configuration and are picked up by Wody without requiring a manual restart.

Dashboard and access

Who can manage a server?+
Dashboard access is checked on the server. The server owner, or a member with Manage Server or Administrator permission, can manage that server configuration.
Why can I see a server but not manage it?+
Seeing a Discord server in your account does not automatically grant management access. Wody checks your Discord permissions before allowing configuration changes.
Can server settings mix between servers?+
No. Configuration is stored against the Discord server it belongs to. Settings from one server are not applied to another server.

Tickets

How do ticket panels work?+

How many ticket panels can I create?+
A server can have up to 1 active ticket panels. The dashboard shows the current limit and cooldown status.
Who can see a private ticket?+
The ticket creator, the configured support role and Wody receive the required access. Discord users with Administrator permission can still bypass channel permission overwrites.
What happens to older ticket panels?+
Existing panels continue using their saved configuration until they are deleted or replaced.

Reaction Roles

Where are Reaction Roles configured?+
Reaction Roles are configured from the Wody Dashboard. The configuration is kept separately for each Discord server.
Can I use buttons instead of emoji reactions?+
Yes. Wody supports emoji based reactions and button based role selection.
Can buttons have roles and custom text?+
Yes. Each button can have optional role assignment plus its own emoji and text.

Premium

What does Premium unlock?+
Premium unlocks Backups and Temporary Voice, and it triples the creation limit on seven systems: Ticket panels go from 1 to 3, Reaction Role panels go from 1 to 3, Auto Responses go from 5 to 15, Custom Commands go from 5 to 15, Scheduled Messages go from 1 to 3, Giveaways go from 1 to 3, Forum automations go from 1 to 3.
How do I get Premium?+
Premium is free but invitation-only, granted through the community server. There are two ways to unlock it. Option A (Promote Wody): Post about Wody on your Discord server or content. Join our community server (link below). DM the developer with proof of the promotion. If approved, you receive a key you can activate on any server you own. Option B (Vote 100 times): Use the /vote command on your Discord account, in any server where Wody is present or in DM with the bot. Click the links Wody sends to cast your vote on the listed bot directories. Every vote counts toward your personal total, tracked automatically per Discord account. Once you reach 100 total votes, open a ticket in our community server to claim your key. It can then be activated on any server you own.
How do I activate a Premium key once I have one?+
Open the Dashboard, select the server you want to upgrade, open its Premium tab, paste the key you received and confirm. It applies to that server only.
Is Premium available on every server?+
Premium status is checked per server. The dashboard shows whether Premium is active for the server you are currently managing, and the boosted limits on Tickets, Reaction Roles, Auto Responses, Custom Commands, Scheduled Messages, Giveaways and Forum automations only apply on servers where it is active.
Where can I read the full Premium explanation?+
See the Premium section on the homepage for the complete breakdown of what is unlocked and both ways to qualify.

Voting and support

Where can I vote for Wody?+
Use the voting links provided by Wody in Discord or from the official Wody community. Voting helps support the project and its visibility.
How can I report a bug?+
Join the official Wody community and include the server, module, what you were doing, the exact error message and any relevant Discord error details.
How can I request a feature?+
Send a clear feature request through the Wody community. Explain what you want, where it should appear and how it should work.
Where can I get updates?+
Follow the official Wody channels and check the website for new releases, dashboard changes and feature updates.

Security and permissions

Does Wody share settings between servers?+
No. Server configuration is associated with its own Discord server. A setting saved for one server does not become a setting for another server.
Can another server owner access my dashboard settings?+
No. Dashboard requests are checked against the Discord account and server being managed. Server configuration is isolated by Discord server.
Why does Wody need Discord permissions?+
Permissions are required so Wody can perform the actions you enable, such as managing tickets, roles, messages or moderation features.
What should I do if a module says Wody lacks permissions?+
Check the bot role position and the permissions for the affected server, category, channel or role. The dashboard error information can help identify the missing configuration.

Commands and dashboard

Where should I configure modules?+
Use the dashboard whenever a module is managed there. This keeps server configuration organized and avoids conflicting settings.
Are all features controlled from Discord commands?+
No. Some systems have been moved to the dashboard so server owners can configure them in one place. The Help page explains where each system is managed.
Where can I find the current command list?+
Use Wody's Help information and the bot's current command help in Discord. Command availability can depend on the module and server configuration.
Can I manage more than one server?+
Yes. The dashboard lets you choose a manageable Discord server and keeps each server's configuration separate.
