To do an automatic install of the plugin: * Log in to your WordPress dashboard * Navigate to the Plugins menu, and click “Add New” * In the search field type “wptelegram-widget” and hit Enter * Locate the plugin in the list of search results * Click on “Install Now” and wait for the installation to complete * Click on “Activate” #### Manual installation Manual installation method requires downloading the plugin and uploading it to your web server via your favorite FTP application. The official WordPress documentation contains [instructions on how to do this here](https://wordpress.org/support/article/managing-plugins/#manual-plugin-installation). #### Updating Automatic updates should work smoothly, but we still recommend you back up your site. ## FAQ ### How to create a Telegram Bot [How do I create a bot?](https://core.telegram.org/bots/faq#how-do-i-create-a-bot). ### Why Legacy Widget shows nothing? _Legacy Widget_ **does not show** the **old messages**. You need to post something new into the group/channel and wait for 5 minutes for the messages to appear. If you are too impatient to wait for the results, open the URL under **Tip!💡** ( below the instructions) in your browser. **Note:** Please ensure to follow the instructions given on the settings page correctly. ### Why do I see my own website in the widget? It means that there is something wrong with the permalinks on your website. Simply goto wp-admin > Settings > **Permalinks** and just _Save Changes._ That should fix it. If it doesn’t, please let us know at [@WPTelegramSupport](https://t.me/WPTelegramSupport). ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/c3cc9f91c05300bc0b81f11ba90d4c14924f603055011c32ea1e6a567f221bc0? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Awesome support](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/awesome-support-948/)󠁿 [Becki Beckmann](https://profiles.wordpress.org/becki/) September 4, 2025 Great plugin and awesome support finding a bug with lower case letters on the username.
