Hey why don't you try this instead the same thing but i removed the on message import discord from discord.ext.commands import Bot bot = Bot(".") @bot.event async def on_ready(): print("kram is now online") await bot.change_presence(activity=discord.Game(name="This bot is a WIP")) @bot.command(aliases=["gp"]) async def ghostping(ctx, amount=2): await ctx.send("@everyone") await ctx.channel.purge(limit = amount) @bot.command() async def help(ctx): await ctx.send("As of right now, .gp is the only working command.") bot.run("I'm hiding my token") This should work as when using cogs and when you have a command there is no need to put it in the on_message event. i suggest you watch this series(Re
