Frequently asked questions
How to create a Telegram Bot
How do I create a bot?.
Can I display button more than once on a page
Sorry, that’s not possible because Telegram allows only a single button per page.
I see “Bot domain invalid” message
Please follow the instructions given on the WP Telegram Login settings page. It looks like you missed one that says to send the /setdomain command to @BotFather.
