💬 FAQs
Q. Why isn’t anyone joining from my invite link?
A. Double-check that your invite link hasn’t expired or been set to limited uses. You can edit the link settings to make it permanent and unlimited.
Q. Can I track how many people have used my invite link?
A. Yes! Guilded tracks invite stats so you can see who’s joining and which links are working best.
Q. Why is my widget not showing full server info?
A. If your server is set to private, the widget will hide your server’s details by default. You can update this in Settings > Server privacy.
Q. Can I see where my new members are coming from?
A. Not directly, but using different invite links for different platforms (like one for Twitter, one for Discord, one for your site) can help you track where growth is coming from.
