>> FAQ / TROUBLESHOOTING
❓ Will I get banned for using Vencord?
Vencord is technically against Discord's ToS, but in practice Discord has never banned anyone solely for using it. The bigger risk is using abuse plugins (auto-message-spam, raid tools, selfbot). Stick to quality-of-life and customization plugins and you're safe.
❓ Vencord vs BetterDiscord vs ReVanced — what's the difference?
Vencord: actively maintained, open source, supports desktop + web. Best choice in 2025+. BetterDiscord: legacy, Windows-only, less maintained. ReVanced: forks for YouTube/Music, different ecosystem. For Discord specifically, Vencord is the clear winner.
❓ Discord updates broke Vencord, what now?
Run the Vencord installer again — it patches the new Discord installation. Usually a fix is pushed within hours of a Discord update. Check the Vencord Discord for live status.
❓ Can I use Vencord on the Discord web version?
Yes! Vencord comes with the Vencord Web extension for Chrome/Firefox/Edge. Install it and it patches the web Discord. Same plugins work. Functionality is slightly more limited than desktop (no native window tricks) but ~95% of plugins are compatible.
❓ My theme doesn't apply / looks broken
Most likely the theme is outdated. Re-download from the source. If it still fails, the theme may use CSS variables that Vencord no longer exposes. Check the theme's GitHub/Discord for an updated version or open an issue.
❓ Is Vencord safe? Could it be a virus?
Vencord itself is open source (GPL-3) on GitHub and audited by thousands of contributors. Never install pre-built Vencord binaries from random sites — always use the official installer which builds from source. Some third-party "Vencord forks" with extra plugins bundle malware.
