I can't seem to get DBM to work
If anyone can give me any pro advice, I would greatly appreciate it. I can not get DBM to load as addons. I prefer DBM, but I can't get even Deus Vox or Bigwigs to work either. Wow won't even look at them for some reason. I am on a Mac. I have deleted and restored my wtf folder. I am totally lost. All other addons work fine thankfully. Just the ones that blow a horn in my ear when I stand in fire don't work. Thanks in advance with any info.
PS, I opened a ticket to Blizz and they said they can't help with addons at all. Not sure where to go to fix this.
Re: I can't seem to get DBM to work
i'm wiling to bet you're unzipping the folder, then droping the 1 folder into addons, instead of all the sub folders. that's not how addons work. modulized addons need to have all their modules installed into addons, not a root directory.
Re: I can't seem to get DBM to work
I guess, all I did was drop the folder directly into my addons folder like I did my other addons and what I have done for years. What did I skip that might have changed?
Re: I can't seem to get DBM to work
nothing has changd with dbm, it always required installing all the sub folders from the archive into addons folder.

UPDATE-RESOLVED...
Deleted WTF folder completely and everything now works.
=======================================
I have pretty much the same problem though it WAS working and stopped after i got an error message about another addon. I deleted all addons, added DBM back (tried using both Curse client and manually) and it still won't come up once i've logged in. all the subfolders are present in \interface\addons but there is no .lua for any of the dbm modules in C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\WTF\Account\{accountname}\SavedVariables. Shouldn't there be a file there? Wondering if that's why no options button on the minimap and no response ingame to /dbm. Help!
