Test it out after getting in-game and just log out not exit the game to disable any that may not be working. Check out our other World of Warcraft Classic guides , such as our weapon master locations guide and our racial abilities guide. There's more to come, too, as long as I can pry myself out of Azeroth here and there. The road to 60 is long and paved in ganks.
Ashley Shankle Associate Editor. Published Aug. More World of Warcraft Content. If you have installed addons manually, you know that the Interface folder contains the actual code that runs your addons. The other folder, WTF, is where your addon settings are stored. When you make changes to an addon, the information required to keep those changes is stored here.
If you had no WTF folder, your addons would forget your settings every time you loaded the game. This is why it is so important to back this up. Otherwise, any work and time you put into refining your UI and addons will be lost. Finding the folders you need to back up is pretty straightforward. If you are like me, you may have installed your game into a different location completely.
If that is the case, or you are struggling to find the files in the default path, you can follow this process:. Now that you have located the necessary folders, you are ready to back them up. Most AddOns can be found at wow. Using their search bar, type in the desired function of the AddOn.
Read through the description and user reviews, to ensure that the AddOn meets your requirements. After locating the desired AddOn s click the appropriate download button to download the zip-file. Default settings will have all downloaded content stored in the Downloads File, easily accessible through file explorer and Quick Access. Opening the File Explorer in another window, locate where the World of Warcraft file has been installed.
For the purposes of this article we will be using the default location:. In other cases, if there are major changes to say like the API in the game it can take days, weeks if not months for AddOn authors to get broken AddOns fixed.
Just because it is out of date doesn't mean that you don't have the latest version of the AddOn. So it is best to check and see if you have the latest version of the AddOn. If you have the latest version you may want to load out of date AddOns. As mentioned prior sometimes there is nothing wrong with the AddOn except the TOC needs to be updated. So use with caution and make sure you disable AddOns that are broken and waiting an update. Clicking this pulls up all your AddOns installed.
At the top you will see a Load out of date AddOns. Checking this will tell the game to load those AddOns that are not currently updated.
So if you have issues after turning this on turn it back off, or use Option 1 in the Basic Troubleshooting to find the bad AddOn s and disable it. So now you have your AddOns installed, but like everything AddOns get updated: bugs fixed, new features added, etc. Maintaining one, two or even a handful isn't that bad. Usually AddOn aren't updated often. There are several ways to maintain your AddOns. One of the most easiest ways is to install an AddOn Client and let it do all the work for you.
However, this may not work depending on your OS. There have been cases where people have been infected with a malicious program virus, malware, PuP, etc.
Here's a few things you can do to make sure you are as safe as possible when using AddOns. Never click on anything in an AddOn. You do not need and should not have an exe to install or use an AddOn.
All AddOns can be installed manually. They spend a lot of time and money making sure the AddOns you get from them are safe. Type in popular AddOn domains into the Address Bar. Do not rely on Google results. There has been a few cases of bad adverts on Google leading players to fake AddOns sites, which resulted in their computer become compromised.
You should never have to pay for an AddOn. If you are being charged to have access to an AddOn you may want to question why. There are some common fixes to most of the simple issues that may happen when using addons. If you choose to do these you do so at your own risk, and I am not responsible for any lost data or damage. Option 1 If you are having UI issues, but don't know which addon may be causing the issue. Get an addon like Addon Control Panel and install it.
This will allow you to turn on and off AddOns without having to log in and out of the game. Turn each addon back on one by one. Check and make sure they are up-to-date and check any of the comments on the addon pages either on Curse or WowInterface. Report a bug to the author. Option 2 If you are having UI issues, but it's not an addon.
