Please make sure to choose the game's directory (C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft\_retail_\, for example, or /Applications/World of Warcraft/_retail_/ in macOS systems) and not the game file itself.

If you have more than one World of Warcraft flavor installed, you will notice a dropdown menu next to the 'Run Game' button:

Let's say you want to install a certain addon for WoW Classic - 

First, select 'Classic' from the dropdown menu, then click 'Featured' or 'Browse':

You can also type in the name of an addon in the search bar and press 'Enter' to initiate the search:

Click the 'Install' button next to your preferred addon and that's it! 

Once the installation is finished you can click the WoW icon in the sidebar and view your installed addon:

There are two ways to save your addons in order to restore them after reinstalling the game:

1. Creating a Sync Profile - A Sync Profile will allow you to sync your addon between different computers in case you are reinstalling the game on a different device. 
2. Creating a backup of the game's 'Addons' folder/s.

If you're unable to find an addon in the CurseForge website or app, it can mean:

1. That the mod is pending review by CurseForge's moderators, and should be available once it's approved (check out the working hours of the moderation team here).
   Or
2. The addon had not been uploaded to the CurseForge repository
   Mods and addons in the CurseForge repository are submitted and managed directly by their creators.
   Some authors prefer to host their addons and mods in other sources, in which case their projects will not be available in CurseForge.
   
   If you would like to see an addons or mods you enjoy in CurseForge, contact the authors and submit a request to them.

You may notice this warning message for certain addons that you currently have installed. This warning indicates that the installed addon does not match the game's current instance, or that there may be something wrong with the addon's files.

To resolve this issue, simply right click the addon and choose 'Reinstall' (or 'Update'):

If reinstalling the mod didn't help, please delete it, make sure you are currently set on the right instance (if you have more than one installed), search for the mod and install it again. If you are unable to find the mod when searching for it, it means that it's not available for your currently set instance, and is meant to be installed for a different one.

*You may notice the 'corrupt' warning being displayed despite the addon(s) working properly in-game. We are currently investigating this.

**Please note that mods in 'Modified' or 'Working Copy' states will not get automatically updated. This is not an issue, but rather made intentionally in order to protect these mods' files from getting overwritten or deleted by updates.

***As of May 19th, 2021 a new instance of the game named 'Burning Crusade Classic' - These instructions are relevant for this new instance as well. Follow the Tooltip box instructions and click 'Update All'.

The Sync feature allows you to sync your addon installations between 2 (or more) devices.
