FAQ
Common questions about installing and using OneWoW. More entries will land here as they come up in community support.
Install and folders
Do I need every OneWoW_* folder?
OneWoW_* folder?No. Install OneWoW (required) plus the optional features you want. See Install.
Catalog or AltTracker looks empty
Those features need their companion data folders (OneWoW_CatDB_* / OneWoW_AltTracker_*) present and enabled. Catalog data is one addon per expansion, plus Other and Tradeskills. Enable the parent feature in Manage Features; companions load with it. Turning Catalog off also turns the encyclopedia off (ESC zone cards, item sources, profession extras). After an update, delete a leftover OneWoW_CatDB folder in AddOns if Curse left one; keep the expansion folders. See Catalog and AltTracker.
Where do I get the package?
CurseForge or the Discord community bot zip — same layout either way. Site: https://onewow.net/.
Manage Features
I disabled a module but it still feels “there”
Disabling in Manage Features unloads the addon — it is not just hidden. If something still appears, confirm the folder is not force-enabled only in the character-select AddOns list, then /reload.
Can I use Shopping List without AltTracker?
Yes. Enable Shopping List in Manage Features; Storage can load for alt/bank scanning even when the AltTracker hub is off. See Shopping List.
Search and keywords
Why don’t localized # keywords from another addon work?
# keywords from another addon work?OneWoW keywords are English-only (#epic, #armor, …). Import foreign category dialects through Bags Import from… so they convert. See Search syntax.
Slash commands do nothing
The feature must be installed and enabled. Open Slash commands for the list, then check Manage Features.
Companion site
How do I send missing Catalog facts?
Play with OneWoW. Talk to NPCs, open quests, and open professions. Log out of WoW. In CompSync, paste your app.onewow.net upload token on Cloud, then upload from Contribute or leave Also upload Contribute data checked when you Cloud sync. Only flagged Catalog facts go. Bags and gold stay on your PC. Those facts do not show on the website; they wait for a later OneWoW release. See About.
Why don’t my Contribute facts show on app.onewow.net?
That upload is not a site Catalog. It only stores the facts for a future addon release. Your roster, bags, and lockouts still come from the normal Cloud snapshot.
The project
Is the source public?
Yes. The suite lives at https://github.com/kellewic/OneWoW_Suite. Anyone can read it, open an issue, or send a pull request (including original QoL modules). That is not permission to republish OneWoW as your own addon. See About and LICENSE.md.
Who wrote a QoL module?
Open the module in QoL and use Details. That name is the credit line. The OneWoW team may edit shipped modules; credit stays with the original author until a complete rewrite, then they keep concept credit. Community list: MODULE_CREDITS.md. Empty credit means the OneWoW Development Team.
Is OneWoW written by AI?
The suite is AI-assisted and shipped by two full-time developers. Humans set the architecture, review what ships, and stand behind it. If you want to judge the code, read the repo. See About.
Does it pass Wow API and LuaLS checks?
Yes. OneWoW targets Retail 12.1+ Wow API and uses LuaLS / Ketho-style API definitions plus the same class of checks people talk about when they review addons. See Developers.
I found another OneWoW Alt Tracker on CurseForge
The official site is https://onewow.net/. Download and CurseForge links on that site are the ones we ship. Older or similarly named CurseForge projects are not this suite.
Conflicts and help
Bags vs default bags / other bag addons
Enable only one primary bag UI you intend to use, or expect overlapping keybinds and frames. OneWoW Bags opens with /1wbags (see Bags).
Where do I get help?
