Out of the blue, the chat stopped working. Now, when I click on the icon, the colors changes, but it doesn’t open. I haven’t altered anything since 2 days before it stopped working. Any ideas why?
Did you try making a custom chat? If so you would have to make sure everything is correct.
Do you suspect anything that might have stopped it from working?
We need more information so we can spot out the problem and help you.

I have no idea why it stopped working, I changed nothing. Also, I am trying to use default chat, not custom.
Could you create a new baseplate world and test if the chat still won’t work for you?
I’m 100% certain that the issue is within your game and that you broke the chat somehow by maybe having a custom chat or something.
I tried it in a new place, and it works fine.
Seems like a script is making the chat not function properly, is there any script that you added that is modifying or altering the chat?

Did you happen to use any chat tags?

Yes, I do, but they worked fine until this happened.
May you show your script that is adding a chat tag? If this is not the only script that is altering your chat, can you provide the other script?

So, should I remove the bubblechat script and see if that helps? Or completely reset chat?
Try removing the bubble chat script.

I disabled all of the bubblechat and chat tags, still nothing.
It occurred to me that I have a script to hide the coregui when the menu is active, and vice versa. It uses StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.All, false)
I ended up restoring to a previous version and updating whatever differences there were.
