changing the embed’s footer

i have this code that would change an embed’s footer and resend it to the log channel, but now it doesn’t work anymore for somereason

this is the code:

if message.channel == bot_commands_channel:
    for em in message.embeds:
      em.set_footer('''new footer''')
      await log_channel.send(embed=em)
      return

and this is the error i get:

File "main.py", line 297, in on_message
    em.set_footer('''new footer''')
TypeError: set_footer() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given

Answer

The argument for set_footer is keyword-only:

embed.set_footer(text='''new footer''')  # note the `text=...`
