Okay, I checked and it turns out that the forum editor corrupts the code :(

I fixed it but you still have to remove the last space that editor adds after the string (it should finish with ==)

This is what you get after the Import:

Hi Pandacho! Thank you for this guide, btw!
So I tried following it step by step but... yeah- there are a WHOLE lot more changes with a ton of options! For example, in the NamePlates that are specific boxes now. There arent any targetplayer nameplates?
I really like where you got to at the end with the boxes with life bars and the minimalist sort but I cant figure out how to get it to that?

Also, the Toggleanchors are way more involved with a lot more boxes. I know there is a lot to customize but I really want to figure out how to simplify it like yours for just healing? They all show or need to be there somehow, but your unitframes are a quarter of what mine are.

Hello!

1. Regarding targetplayer nameplates: you are mixing 2 different things. There is a NamePlates function that shows you some info near a name of a player/NPC (you can enable/disable it with Ctrl+V) and there are UnitFrames - Player Frame, Target Frame, Target of Target Frame are the parts of it.

To make it easier to understand, check the screenshot:

2. In Toggle Anchors you don't have to customize anything - it's just a field where you drag different parts of your ElvUI frames if you want them in some other places than the default. The Anchors only show your all the possible frames but it doesn't mean that you use all of them. 

What frames to use you choose with Enable/Disable button in the main Config window left menu.

This may sound weird, but I use 2 different profiles for when I play pve and pvp. I'm having a problem keeping my spells in the same spots after switching profiles. I will set up one profile, then switch to the other and the abilities have shifted and are not like I left them before switching. Is there anyway to fix this?

Hey Pandacho.

First of all i really appreciate your guide - amazing how easy i got to navigate though ElvUI after reading your guide, thanks alot.

Now, to my question - Well, i've been using the addon VuhDo alot (even before ElvUI) and i've grown quite attached to it. So i've been wondering about if the setup you use (the healer one you've exported) is compatible with this VuhDo (mostly about having the groups inbetween  the actionbars)?

And btw, is there a setup you can recommend while using ElvUI and VuhDo, or a fellew WoW profesional that is using those combined you can redirect me to? (because right now, my groups is just floating around the screen - haven't find the perfect spot yet, while using ElvUI).

Thanks alot ^^

It is VuhDo - the frames you see between the Action Bars :)

You can check my VuhDo setups in this guide and there's a video in the end how it looks in raid.

That sounds very odd, I've never had this happen to me.  You might try re-installing ElvUI.  Is it only in combat that your UI disappears?  Only against bosses or in raids?

Did you download the latest version yet (10.28)?

Anyways, I will look into this in the evening because after the latest Blizz changes in 7.1 it may be necessary to upload new profiles.

I recently switched to Elvui and cannot for the life of me figure out how to disable the Elvui range check so I can use the DBM range check that has the nice visual of where people are in range of me. This is extra annoying for the Il'gynoth fight. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Not sure what you are talking about, may you share a screenshot please?

All the addons visuals for the range check were disabled in 7.1.

How do you mean 'ingame'? You can't see ElvUI on the loading screen/addons list (before you choose a toon and enter the game)

or you can't see ElvUI line here:

1. You can't see it in the list and it doesn't work in game or you didn't check after loading?

2. Did you scrolled to the end - it's not after 'D' but after 'W'?

3. Did you download the last version (10.29)?

I'm having an issue with the raid debuff tooltips on the raid frames. It's a huge pain as you can't clique/mouseover heal over them. Is there any way to turn off these tooltips? Or do I have to go back to Grid? (I hate vuhdo sorry).

I have only 1 addon in my addon list. Its Bagnon and only Bagnon is in the list. Also I did download the latest version 10.29

Can you please post a screen of your Addon folder in the File Explorer because I can't imagine why wouldn't you see the addon if you unpacked it there?

UnitFrames->Raid Frames->untick 'Enable' in Debuffs in the dropdown menu on the right side.

Or, if you do want to see them, check 'Click Through' option (near 'Count Font Size').

Well, looks like a bug.

The only thing I can suggest here is to delete or move away WTF and Cache folders and ElvUI from the Addons folder, then download and reinstall it.

If it wouldn't help too, open a ticket at the project page

      Tama's Dragonflight Helper is a Weakaura that displays a weekly to-do list in the game and it's been updated for Dragonflight Season 4!
      The WeakAura is very useful for keeping track of everything in the game at max level. It shows you a to-do list with the weekly tasks, provides you with the locations of rares, super rares, information about your current Renown standing, and more.



      You will find Tama's Dragonflight Helper at wago.io. Please note that you must first download and install WeakAuras 2 to import the string.

      Cataclysm's Grim Batol has been added to the Mythic+ Dungeon rotation in The War Within Season 1, and one boss received a brand new model recently on the Alpha.
      General Umbriss, the first boss of the dungeon, got a shiny new model, which is quite different from his previous one. Below is a screenshot of the old a new model.

      Blizzard have announced that the item level issues with Timewalking Caches have been fixed and that affected players have received main with the replacement Cache.
      Timewalking (Source)
      Hello!
      Earlier this evening, we rolled out a fix-up for players who opened their Timewalking dungeon / Raid cache before 2:30 p.m. PDT today. Affected players have received an in-game mail with the cache replacement.
      Players who opened their cache after 2:30 p.m. PDT today should find that they received the intended reward(s).
      Thank you!

      Blizzard have clarified why players are able to get a full Spark of Awakening through the two available Splinters in the first week of Dragonflight Season 4, and it seems it's only for this week and only due to catch-up rules being enabled! 
      Splintered Spark (Source)
      Just want to confirm this with some details.
      Everyone essentially started Season 4 in catch-up mode. Players were able to get 1 Splintered Spark of Awakening from the weekly quest, whether that’s the weekly “Last Hurrah” quest or the PvP weeklies offered by Malicia.
      And then you’re able to get another splinter / half-spark from any valid catch-up sources, such as Mythic+, Awakened Raids, and PvP wins.
      Next week and thereafter, only one Splintered Spark is obtainable every week. And like Seasons 2 and 3, with the increasing cap on Splintered Sparks per week, and if you ever fall behind you will be able to get Splintered Sparks from any catch-up source.

      It seems there may be an easier way to obtain the Tusks of Mannoroth appearance during the Mists of Pandaria Remix event! 
      The tusks are one of the rarest transmogs in the game currently, even with the recently added Siege of Orgrimmar skip, as their drop rates are VERY low (0.1-0.3%, reportedly). As spotted by MrGM, the new Tusks of Mannoroth are a cosmetic appearance item added in the new limited time event. Now, some have suggested they may just be purchasable from the Bronze vendor (the currency that will drop off of pretty much anything in the event), making them pretty easy to get, but it seems there might be a different way to get them. 
      It's unclear whether the cosmetic will actually be purchasable or if it will drop somewhere else, but another interesting Mannoroth-related item was added as well, the Bones of Mannoroth, which may be related to the cosmetic.

      As you can see the bones are a stackable resource you gain from killing Garrosh, and it's looking like they're a way to guarantee the Tusk appearance with enough kills! Just how many drop is unclear, but assuming you need all 20 for the appearance and that Normal drops 1, Heroic 2 and Mythic 3 bones, it may take at least 7 weeks to get them. Now the number required might be/is likely to be lower than the 20  stack maximum, and we may get more bones per kill.
      But even at 7 weeks it's much, much easier to get than the current "hope for 0.3%" in retail, so it's still a pretty good deal! This may or may not upset players that farmed for the tusks for a long time the regular way, but there's a whole lot players that will be thrilled!
      The Remix: Mists of Pandaria event starts on May 16th and should last until August 19th.
