Install addons
How to install, update and remove addons for World of Warcraft: Forever. Windows first.
Install on Windows
- Close the game.
- Download the addon's zip from its page in the library.
- Find your game folder: in the Battle.net app pick WoW: Forever, open the gear menu next to Play and choose Show in Explorer.
- Open
Interface\AddOnsinside the game folder. Create the Interface and AddOns folders if they do not exist. - Unpack the zip there. The addon's .toc file must end up one level down, for example
Interface\AddOns\Profup\Profup.toc, not in a nested folder of the same name. - Start the game. On the character screen click AddOns and check that the addon is enabled.
Install folder: [WoW folder]\Interface\AddOns
Update
Close the game, delete the addon's old folder and unpack the new zip in its place. Your settings are kept: they live in the WTF folder, not in the addon folder.
Remove
Delete the addon's folder from Interface\AddOns. To remove its saved settings too, delete its .lua files under WTF\Account\<account>\SavedVariables.
If the addon does not show up
- The folder is nested: the path must be AddOns\<Addon>\<Addon>.toc.
- The addon is marked out of date after a game patch: wait for an update, or enable Load out of date AddOns on the AddOns screen.
- The game was running while you copied the files: restart it.
