Essentials Chat not working properly?

When I type in chat it just shows up as


This is my essentials chat

Code:

############################################################
# +------------------------------------------------------+ #
# |                   EssentialsChat                     | #
# +------------------------------------------------------+ #
############################################################
 
chat:
 
  # If EssentialsChat is installed, this will define how far a player's voice travels, in blocks.  Set to 0 to make all chat global.
  # Note that users with the "essentials.chat.spy" permission will hear everything, regardless of this setting.
  # Users with essentials.chat.shout can override this by prefixing text with an exclamation mark (!)
  # Users with essentials.chat.question can override this by prefixing text with a question mark (?)
  # You can add command costs for shout/question by adding chat-shout and chat-question to the command costs section."
  radius: 0
 
  # Chat formatting can be done in two ways, you can either define a standard format for all chat.
  # Or you can give a group specific chat format, to give some extra variation.
  # If set to the default chat format which "should" be compatible with ichat.
  # For more information of chat formatting, check out the wiki: http://wiki.ess3.net/wiki/Chat_Formatting  
 
  #format: '{DISPLAYNAME}: {MESSAGE}'
  #format: '&9&l[&f{GROUP}&9&l]&r {DISPLAYNAME}&7:&r {MESSAGE}'
 
  group-formats:
  Regular: '&f[User&f] {DISPLAYNAME}&7:&f {MESSAGE}'
  Legend: '&l&f[Mod]&r {DISPLAYNAME}&7:&r {MESSAGE}'
  Owner: '&f[&4Owner&f] {DISPLAYNAME}&7:&f {MESSAGE}'

 

Try setting the prefix in permissions.yml

 

Also maybe try installing groupmanager that works for me
