Discord bot responds to DMs only, not to commands in guilds

Question

I'm programming my first bot for discord by javascript and with discord.js v14. My bot simply obeys the command in private chat, it doesn't send a message back if it's through a server. Can someone help me? My code:

//npm é um gerenciador de pacotes

const { Client, GatewayIntentBits, Partials } = require('discord.js');
const config = require('./config.json');
const { Guilds, GuildMembers, DirectMessages } = GatewayIntentBits;
const { Channel, GuildMember, Message, User, Reaction } = Partials;
const client = new Client({
  intents: [Guilds, GuildMembers, DirectMessages],
  partials: [Channel, GuildMember, Message, User, Reaction],
});

client.on('ready', () => {
  console.log(
    `Bot foi iniciado, com ${client.users.cache.size} usuários, em ${client.channels.cache.size} canais, em      ${client.guilds.cache.size} servidores.`,
  );
  client.user.setActivity(
    `Eu estou em ${client.guilds.cache.size} servidores.`,
  ); //atualiza status do bot
});

client.on('guildCreate', (guild) => {
  console.log(
    `O bot entrou nos servidores: ${guild.cache.name} (id: ${guild.cache.id}). População: ${guild.cache.memberCount} membros.`,
  );
  client.user.setActivity(`Estou em ${client.guilds.cache.size} servidores!`);
}); //toda vez q o bot entra num server, esse comando é executado e atualiza o status do bot

client.on('guildDelete', (guild) => {
  console.log(
    `O bot foi removido do servidor: ${guild.cache.name} (id: ${guild.cache.id}).); client.user.setActivity(Serving ${client.guilds.cache.size} servers!`,
  );
}); //avisa caso o bot seja excluido de um servidor

client.on('messageCreate', async (message) => {
  let prefix = config.prefix; //liga o prefixo do arquivo config para comando

  if (message.author.bot) return; //nao responda outros bots
  if (!message.content.startsWith(config.prefix)) return;
  //if(message.channel.type === "dm") return; //nao responda por DM

  const args = message.content.slice(config.prefix.length).trim().split(/ +/g); //liga o prefix do config para comando
  const comando = args.shift().toLowerCase(); //parametros do comando

  if (comando === 'ping') {
    //define o comando depois do prefixo digitado pelo usuario
    const m = await message.channel.send('Ping?'); //mensagem
    m.edit(
      `:ping_pong: Pong! A latencia é ${
        m.createdTimestamp - message.createdTimestamp
      } ms. A latencia da API é ${Math.round(client.ws.ping)} ms`,
    ); //edita a propria mensagem 'm'
  }
}); //evento de mensagem do bot

client.login(config.token); //liga o bot

I tried to reinstall discord.js, I also installed an older version, but apparently the problem is not in the library because it works, but only in private chat.

It's because without the MessageContent intent you only receive the message.content in DMs but not in guilds. It will be an empty string in guilds.

You will need to add MessageContent to your intent array:

const { Guilds, GuildMembers, DirectMessages, MessageContent } =
  GatewayIntentBits;
const { Channel, GuildMember, Message, User, Reaction } = Partials;
const client = new Client({
  intents: [Guilds, GuildMembers, DirectMessages, MessageContent],
  partials: [Channel, GuildMember, Message, User, Reaction],
});
