- If you never launched WoW, double click WoW.exe or otherwise launch WoW.
- Log in with one of your characters.
- After login, exit the game completely. In future, to add new addons you will still need to exit the game to see them.
- Download the addon that you want.
- Extract it into the WoW
Interface\AddOns
folder, e.g. C:\GAMES\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns - Double click WoW.exe or otherwise launch WoW.
- At the Character Select screen, look in the lower left corner for the "AddOns" button.
- If button is there, click it and make sure all the addons you installed are listed and make sure "Load out of date AddOns" is checked.
- 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 and remove "-master" from it.
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
