@sebo0019 You need to associate the protocol with a program in your system, most probably Whatsapp.

@leocg said in Error whatsapp protocol:

ith a program in your system, most probably Whatsapp.

And how do I do that? I've already tried creating a registry script. But it didn't work.

@sebo0019 Usually you do it in settings or control panel, in default apps/programs section.

I can't find any settings that refer to the whatsapp protocol

@sebo0019 In the section to associate a protocol with a program, the whatsapp protocol isn't listed?

Do you have the program installed? Did you try associating from inside the program?

@leocg Should I download whatsapp? In other browsers this error does not happen to me..
The script I tested is this:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\whatsapp]
"URL Protocol"=""
@="URL:whatsapp"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\whatsapp\shell]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\whatsapp\shell\open]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\whatsapp\shell\open\command]
@="\"C:\\Users\\wigny\\AppData\\Local\\WhatsApp\\WhatsApp.exe\" \"%1\""

But it didn't work

@sebo0019 Yes, as said before. Opera can't handle such protocol, so another program has to do it.

@leocg Okay! And the links would be launched in the whatsapp app or in the opera browser?
I'm sorry if I take a while to understand.. But English is not my language.

@sebo0019 In the app. For them to be opened in Opera, WhatsApp web would need to handle the protocol.
