    I keep seeing topics about people having issues with PermissionsEX and I think there needs to be a topic that actually has a small FAQ, that will most likely fix the problem.

    When you still have a problem (Maybe because you did it wrong?) please DO NOT create a new topic with a simple post in it with 'It doesn't work'. Show us your permissions.yml file. DO NOT just copy/paste this on this forum!! Please go to http://pastebin.com and give us the link of your pasted content!

    My permissions do not work at all
    This is probably because you did understand the 'YAML' format correctly. When editing your permissions, you are not allowed to use 'TAB'. Instead, you need to use spaces. An example:


    Code:
    groups:
      Member:
        prefix: '[&4Member]'
        permissions:
        - essentials.tpa
        - essentials.home
        - essentials.sethome
        - essentials.sethome.10

    Not sure if you used TAB's or not? Copy and paste your permissions.yml file at this link: http://yaml-online-parser.appspot.com/ and look where it gives an error.

    How do I set a prefix/suffix?
    Prefixes are fairly easy to setup. Go to your permissions.yml file and add the text that is in Bold:


    Code:
    groups:
      Member
        prefix: '[YOURPREFIX]'
        suffix: '[YOURSUFFIX]'
        permissions:
        - essentials.tpa
        - essentials.home
        - essentials.sethome
        - essentlas.sethome.10

    You don't need to have both, for example, you can just have a prefix only. You can also use color codes. You can find a list of color codes here: http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Formatting_codes

    I setup my prefix/suffix correctly, but it doesn't show.
    This is because you don't have a chat plugin/or have not set it up correctly. There are plenty of tutorials and plugins for that. Below I'll list a couple of plugins that you can use:

    Herochat: http://forums.spout.org/threads/chat-herochat-5-61-cb1-3-1-r1-0.4600/
    EssentialsChat (Comes with essentials package): http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/essentials/
    Chatmanager (Not PermissionsEX chatmanager): http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/chadmin/

    A certain permission is not working!

    Please check out the plugin's permissions and copy/paste them correctly. Make sure you don't use tabs. check out 'My permissions do not work at all'

    Please give me FAQ questions that you would like to see below! These page should be growing over time!
