Frequently asked questions:
Question 1: Why does the bot not change the server owner's nickname?
Answer 1: Discord does not allow any server member or bot to change the nickname of a server's owner, the server owner's nickname can only be changed by the owner itself.
Question 2: Why does AdvancedBot not change everyone's nickname correctly?
Answer 2: Discord has a 32 letter limit for server nicknames, if you are using a nickname variable, AdvancedBot tries to change the nickname for them but fails, the most common reason being their username's letters + your input are more than 32 characters.
Question 3: What do the variables do?
Answer 3: There are two variables supported, {username} and {userid}, for example: If you do "?nick all {username} ✨", AdvancedBot will replace {username} with the member's discord username and add the sparkles emoji after their username as the input was given in the example.
If you have any question/concern or face any difficulties with using the nick command, you can feel free to ask in AdvancedBot's support server.
