I once updated my profile with the string of a streamer and ever since, the addon doesn´t work AT ALL. i cant even open the settings.

tried reinstalling it severall times, delete all settings thru curseforge, deleted the folders manually and nothing helps.

thats the error that´s showing up in WoW.

Using it on Retail.

Same issue for me after installing today. Appeared to work initially, but it bricked after I tried to import a profile from a text string. Deleting saved variables and reinstalling addon still gives me the error.

I just think it´s weird, that even reinstalling it, deleteing the settings via curseforge, deleting everything manually its not changing anything lol

Yeah, made me think it might be a conflict with another addon, but I disabled everything except for KNP and it's still borked.

Which string did you import?

I also imported Jak's KNP string. Seems that's the common thread.

Not quite sure how that bricked the addon though. Maybe there's some persistent saved variable that I'm missing to delete for a fresh install?

Ok I was able to get back to a fresh install by fully closing game, deleting the config files in the following two places:

\World of Warcraft_retail_\WTF\Account[Account Name][Realm][Character Name]\SavedVariables\Kui_Nameplates_Core.lua (+ .bak)
\World of Warcraft_retail_\WTF\Account[Account Name]\SavedVariables\Kui_Nameplates_Core.lua (+ .bak)

and then starting back up. When I tried before, looks like they were being rewritten before I could reload.

Still not quite sure what about the string caused the issue, I suspect it was just from an out of date addon version.

Haha funny, so its the string, tho i had it before, just re copy-pasted it cause i thought it might got updated

funny, that helped me to

it still says tho, that the jak profile is loaded so idk :D but seems to work!
