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:

Remove this line and you'll get this:

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:

1.png

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

      Find out how to obtain the new Spark of Awakening in Season 4.
      Spark of Awakening is used to set the item level of crafted gear to Item Level 502 in Season 4, but how can you obtain one on live servers?
      Abandon the "Aiding the Accord" quest if it's in your Quest Log.
      Pick up the weekly quest from Therazal in central Valdrakken. As you can see, there are now three possible quests for you to receive that will change every week.

      The weekly quest options (and objectives) will always be the following:
      Dragon Isles Quest
      Participate in a Community Feast Participate in a Hunt Lay siege to Dragonbane Keep Zaralek Cavern Quest
      Protect the Researchers Under Fire Loot a Secured Shipment (Suffusion Camp) Complete a Time Rift Amirdrassil Quest
      Earn 50 Bloom during the Superbloom Complete a Superbloom Plant 3 Dreamseeds Quest Rewards
      After completing the weekly quest you will receive 1 Splintered Spark of Awakening) via Weekly Awakened Activity and a Cache of Awakened Storms (containing gold or gear).
      You will need two Splintered Spark of Awakening and 250 Flightstones to create one Spark of Awakening.
      Awakened Raid Bosses
      Apparently, Splintered Spark of Awakening have a chance to drop from Awakened Raid bosses, as spotted by @azatoth668!

      We'd like to introduce you to a game-changing nameplate addon for Season 4 that's essential for excelling in Mythic+ dungeons.
      Tracking every mob and their abilities in Mythic+ can be overwhelming, but this addon excels by replacing standard mob nameplates and cast bars to enhance your gameplay.
      Once installed, mobs with critical interrupts will display a thick orange cast bar, while less crucial ones will show a thinner yellow bar.

      Mobs with less crucial interrupts will have a thinner yellow cast bar.

      Additionally, any mobs that inflict heavy frontal cone damage are marked with an arrow and feature orange cast bars. A voice alert will also prompt you to move by announcing "front."

      The addon further assists by indicating non-interruptible spells that require crowd control with a purple cast bar and a vocal "cc" alert.

      For tanks, if you're not holding aggro, the nameplates of the mobs will turn red, quickly showing you which ones to target.

      There's also a handy visual cue on the cast bar, surrounded by a green border, signaling when you can interrupt an ability and your interrupt skill is off cooldown.

      Ready to try it out?
      You can download Quazii Plater here.
      For setup assistance, watch Quazii's comprehensive video guide.
      Quazii has also created a Mythic+ cheatsheet that details all critical abilities for Season 4 dungeons, available in a text format.

      Players are currently unable to catalyze gear from the Black Temple Timewalking cache into class set piece.
      It's unclear whether this limitation is a bug or an intended feature, but the gear obtained from completing this week's Black Temple Timewalking quest cannot be converted into a set piece using the Revival Catalyst, as reported on Reddit.
      I personally checked this at Antuka and can confirm that gear from the weekly quest cache cannot be catalyzed. I received the Grips of Damnation from the Essence boss yesterday, and found that the item was ineligible for conversion at the Catalyst.

      Here's how you can upgrade your legendary weapons in Dragonflight Season 4 next week!
      This one is for Fyr'alath and Nasz'uro owners. You must first farm 2 Antique Bronze Bullions. However, you can only acquire 1 Antique Bronze Bullion per week from Awakened Raid bosses. The bullion will drop in Raid Finder difficulty too.
      Next week, the cap will be raised to 2 and a catch-up method will be implemented, so players who didn't have the chance to get their first bullion can get it from the weekly quest in Valdrakken.
      Anyway, the soonest you can upgrade your legendary to the base item level of 502 is during the week of April 30th (so next week).
      Once you have 2 Antique Bronze Bullions, head to the Parting Glass in Valdrakken.

      Evokers need to buy Scale of Awakening from Iszinormi for 2 Antique Bronze Bullions. Death Knights, Paladins, and Warriors need to buy Scale of Awakening from Iszinormi for  2 Antique Bronze Bullions. Once purchased, use the consumable to upgrade your legendary to item level 502, the base item level for Season 4.
      After that, you can further upgrade your legendary using Flightstones and crests. Check out our gear upgrading guide for more info!
