Hi Guys,
Yesterday all my weak auras on all my chars in Wotlk Classic server disapeared ..
The only changement i made that i can remember is that a button on my mini map with the addon appeared and i removed it from mini map cuz i never had it on minimap.
I was using version just before the new one that pop 3 days ago (so was using version 4.1.4).
I have tried downloading the new one (4.1.5) but still no weak auras (screen shot here).
Have you an idea of whats going on and how to have it back ?

If you login and your WeakAura's are missing, go to the World of Warcraft\_retail_\WTF\Account\<ACCOUNTNAME>\SavedVariables folder and check the WeakAuras.lua file. If it is empty, check the WeakAuras.lua.bak file. If that one has content, delete WeakAuras.lua and rename WeakAuras.lua.bak to WeakAuras.lua. If WeakAuras.lua.bak was also empty, you will need to to rely on backups or remake your Auras.

*Window's hides file extensions by default so you will need to turn these on which you can do by going to Control Panel > Appearance and Personalistion > File Explorer Options > View tab in the new window and untick Hide extensions for known file types

If you have not made backups or don't use the WA Companion (it makes backups for you) then as a last resort you can try putting the following in to chat in game:

/run local L=WeakAuras.LoadFromArchive local h,m=L("Repository","history"),L("Repository","migration")for _,r in ipairs{h,m}do for _,s in pairs(r.stores)do local d=s:Load()WeakAurasSaved.displays[d.id]=d end end C_UI.Reload()

Thanks for your answer. I have nothing in both lua and lua.bak. I tried your /run ingame. Had a few weak auras backup even if completely reset too.

#

I guess it's all i will get ? Would like to know how this kind of reset happen.

WeakAuras.lua is the primary one to backup. And backing up both won't hurt. It contains all your auras as they are loaded and saved normally. Don't save/write to it while logged in.

The WA companion app also handles backups.
