Wrathbringer OK, since you use Winrar the process is a little different. After having saved the downloaded addon folder to your desktop, you should now have an icon of stacked books labeled with the addons name. Double click on that icon the Winrar window will open up highlight every folder related to the addon click on the 'Extract to' button located at the top of the Winrar window locate the directory where the addon will be installed, which should be inside of the World of WarcraftInterfaceAddOns folder.

EDIT: I installed them in 3.3.5 and earlier builds but the AddOns button in the character selection screen isn't showing up. I'm relatively new to private servers, as this is my first one. In particular, I'd like to know how to install addons on this server. Get an addon like Addon Control Panel and install it. This will allow you to turn on and off AddOns without having to log in and out of the game. Turn off all your addons through the panel and /reload (make sure you set ACP to protective mode and not turn it off). Turn each addon back on one by one. That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your mods. Move to the Addon folder Open your World of Warcraft folder. (default is /Applications/World of Warcraft/) Go into the 'Interface' folder. Go into the 'AddOns' folder. In a new window, open the 'My Mods' folder.

I'm available Monday through Friday from 11AM to 8PM Pacific Time. When you say they're not showing up in the game, do you mean that they're not on the Addons button in the character select screen, or that they aren't there when you try to log in? If they're not updated to the latest patch, you'll need to open up the Addons menu from character selection and check 'Load out of date addons'.

If they aren't on that list, or the Addons button doesn't show up, I would check your install path. Each addon should be in a separate folder, with the exact name of the addon itself, with a path like this: World of WarcraftInterfaceAddonsAddonNameHere If there's an extra folder in the file path, or a missing one, the addon won't load properly.

. Exit World of Warcraft completely. Download the addon you want to install.

Make a folder on your desktop called “My Addons”. Save the.zip/.rar files to this folder. If, when you try to download the file, it automatically “opens”, you need to RIGHT click on the link and “save as” or “Save Target As”. Extract the file – commonly known as ‘unzipping’ – Do this ONE FILE AT A TIME!. Windows. Windows XP has a built in ZIP extractor. Double click on the file to open it, inside should be the file or folders needed.

Copy these outside to the “My Addons” folder. WinRAR: Right click the file, select “Extract Here”.

WinZip: You MUST make sure the option to “Use Folder Names” is CHECKED or it will just extract the files and not make the proper folders how the Authors designed. Mac Users. StuffitExpander: Double click the archive to extract it to a folder in the current directory. Verify your WoW Installation Path. That is where you are running WoW from and THAT is where you need to install your addons.

Move to the Addon folder. Open your World of Warcraft folder.
