World of Warcraft Vanilla 1.12.1 Addons ⇧

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How to install a WoW addon

  1. If you never launched WoW, double click WoW.exe or otherwise launch WoW.
  2. Log in with one of your characters.
  3. After login, exit the game completely. In future, to add new addons you will still need to exit the game to see them.
  4. Download the addon that you want.
  5. Extract it into the WoW Interface\AddOns folder, e.g. C:\GAMES\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns
  6. Double click WoW.exe or otherwise launch WoW.
  7. At the Character Select screen, look in the lower left corner for the "AddOns" button.
  8. If button is there, click it and make sure all the addons you installed are listed and make sure "Load out of date AddOns" is checked.
  9. If the button is NOT there, this means you did not install any addons properly.

Common issue: if you downloaded your addon from a Github site, then you may need to rename the extracted folder to remove the ending "-main" or "-master" from it.

Have you installed an addon and it is not showing up in WoW?

Rule 1: Make sure that in each folder immediately below Interface\AddOns, there is a .toc file in it. This is the addon folder.
Rule 2: Make sure that this addon folder matches the name of the .toc file.

Example

  • GOOD ✅ : Interface\AddOns\LunaUnitFrames\LunaUnitFrames.toc
  • BAD ❌ : Interface\AddOns\LunaUnitFrames-master\LunaUnitFrames\LunaUnitFrames.toc
