When I use the NametagEdit plugin on Spigot 1.8, I can't see my prefix in chat and I seem to lose it every so often. I've tried logging in with another account (brother's) to see if it was just me, using chat plugins, etc. to see if it would help, but there seemed to be no effect other than I broke the server. Is there a simple way to add my prefix?
NOTE: I don't know much about editing the configuration files so please don't call me a noob >.<
NOTE 2: I only have room for 10 plugins and I have 5 that I am not removing unless I absolutely have to.
CURRENT PLUGINS:
NametagEdit
WorldEdit
Fly
Adminfun
Multiworld
Colorchat (I would be okay with removing this one as I know how to get colored names in vanilla)

I figured out what it is. derp.
Essentials for 1.8 didn't do it, but editing the config file of NametagEdit did. xD I'm such a noob sometimes. I'm keeping Essentials though (I no longer need five different plugins that do the same thing Essentials does!) Thank you all so much for your help!
For anyone who is wondering what I did, I edited the part of the config that says Chat -- Enabled=true. By default it was false.

You need a chat plugin. HeroChat seems popular (never used it though). I personally use Essentials along with EssentialsChat.
Download essentials for chat and essentials groupmanager, groupmanager is for rank setup and you can give yourself a prefix.

If you need any help you can always ask me
Essentials is not for 1.8 unfortunately (I tried it and it kind of spammed the server with error messages). I'll try Herochat.
EDIT: Herochat didn't work
I also tried Chatcontrol and it did nothing. Are there any other decent ones? Or a link to a 1.8 build?
EDIT2: I found a link to a 1.8 build of Essentials (It was packaged with Factions, but it's working) and it seems to be working... Thank you both!

You should use essentials, essentials chat, and essentials group manager. The 1.8 download is here: https://hub.spigotmc.org/jenkins/job/Spigot-Essentials/
Edit: You download group manager here: https://www.spigotmc.org/resources/groupmanager.23/
