Common issues with EssentialsX

Signs don't work

In your plugins/Essentials/config.yml file, you need to uncomment the lines under enabledSigns for each type of sign by removing the # before it:

enabledSigns:
  #- color
  - balance
  #- buy

In this example, the [balance] sign is enabled but the [buy] sign is not.
Note that enabling color means that players will be allowed to use color codes in the sign text.

EssentialsX overrides a command from Spigot or another plugin

Related issues: #1458
You can create an alias for commands using Bukkit's commands.yml file, which should be in your server root. For example:

aliases:
    ban:
    - "<plugin>:ban $1-"
    tell:
    - "minecraft:tell $1-"

where <plugin> is a placeholder for a plugin name.

See the Bukkit wiki page for more information.

Tab completion doesn't work for commands that override an EssentialsX command

Related issues: #1384
You can alias the command to the version from the other plugin, which should fix tab complete behaviour - see above.

I need help with GroupManager! / Where's the updated GroupManager?

EssentialsX does not support GroupManager as it is an outdated and broken plugin. We recommend you switch to LuckPerms as it is still an actively maintained and regularly updated plugin.
