          @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.
