[EN] Fixing BlizzardUI Errors

[dittopinguin3]

I am writing this short guide on how to fix the errors that don't allow you to view your talents/glyphs, and similar stuff, that are a result of disabled Blizzard addons, because I see many people complaining about them recently (I have experienced something similar, as well).

First of all, if you encounter any BlizzardUI errors in game, you are usually asked to either "Disable" the respective addon, or to "Ignore" the issue. While disabling the addon might make the error box disappear, it will also make some content of the game unavailable until it's enabled again. For example, disabling Blizzard_GlyphUI this way will make it impossible to view and/or change your glyphs (entering the glyphs tab will just pop up an error that this addon is disabled).

Now, most people will ask on global how to fix this issue, and 9 out of 10 times someone will say: "Go to the wow-freakz website, connection guide, and download new Blizzard addons to replace those in your addons folder". This will fix the corrupted files issue, but won't enable the addons that you have disabled, so you will still have an issue of not being able to see the glyphs tab (an example from earlier). This is how you can easily fix such issues:

1. Go to your WoW folder;
2. Once there, open the "WTF" folder;
3. In the WTF folder, open the "Account" folder;
4. Now you will have a list of all the accounts you ever used since you installed this WoW, and just choose the one which you're using right now on freakz (the one with the character which is having the errors);
5. Now choose the "Genesis" folder, because that's where your characters folder is located;
6. Choose the folder of the character which is having the errors;
7. Now open the text document "AddOns" with a text editor;
8. In this folder, you have a list of all your custom addons, and the default Blizzard addons which are DISABLED. Just replace "disabled" with "enabled" next to those addons, and they should be working in game again with no problems (don't use "" here, just write enabled, like it's written next to other addons ).

I hope those in need of this "fix" will find this helpful, and be able to once more enjoy playing WoW normally :D

P.S. - I suggest doing this "fix" together with downloading the new BlizzardUI addons from the freakz website

I recommend this! I also posted this about an year ago but it got lost in time.
Great job for bringing it back!
