Colored names in chat (PEX/ChatManager)

I tried to make the names of the players colored depending of their ranks, but it didn't work.
I have essentials (and I disabled its custom chat colors), PEX and ChatManager. I tried jChat but it seems the server i'm on doesn't let me uninstall ChatManager.

permissions.yml :

Code:

users:
  keywc:
    group:
    - admin
  Soda67:
    group:
    - admin
  ceandros:
    group:
    - op

    - op
  CaptainCallypso:

      suffix: '&f'
      rank: '400'

    - admin
    permissions:

  gm:
    inheritance:

    permissions:
    - essentials.gamemode
    - essentials.fly.others
    options:
      prefix: '&a'
      suffix: '&f'
      rank: '200'
  default:
    default: true
    permissions:
    - essentials.spawn
    - chatmanager.chat.*
    - essentials.afk
    - essentials.back
    - essentials.back.ondeath
    - essentials.chat.color
    - essentials.home
    - essentials.kit
    - essentials.kit.tools
    - essentials.me
    - essentials.msg
    - essentials.ping
    - essentials.sethome
    - essentials.signs.use.*
    - essentials.time
    - essentials.tpa
    - essentials.tpaccept
    - essentials.tpahere
    - essentials.tpdeny
    - essentials.warp
    options:
      prefix: '&f'
      suffix: '&f'
      rank: '100'

I did enable ChatManager in its config.yml.
If possible, I also want to NOT silently join vanished.

Thanks

 

Maybe you need to use not &, but §.
& inspired by plugins makers as fast to type, but MC uses §

 

Thank you, but it still doesn't work. All names are still white.

 

Can you see any colours at all in chat? (e.g. is /say <message> pink or purple?)

If all your text is white, it could indicate that your version of OpenGL is very old.

 

Yes, I can see other colors in the chat. Plugins like Vanish or Essentials are colored.

EDIT : I also tried to uninstall and use EssentialsChat. It only makes the op's names colored.

 

Up. I can use any plugin to make the colors. And still no solution for the vanish permissions ?

 

Use "ColorMe" plugin. I had same problem but now... not any more. I have: PEX, ChatManager, ColorMe

 

With colorme, you must use a command in-game for each user. It isn't automatic.

Thanks for answering. The "prefix" and "suffix" nodes weren't supposed to be in the options node.
