Nameplates Turn Off When Combat Starts

What version of the game you are experiencing the issue with:
TBC Classic

Describe the bug
So when I press "Ctrl + V" to show all nameplates it turns on, but when I engage into combat (as soon as I cast Smite and Shadow Word: Pain right after) the nameplate turns off... Even Friendly nameplates turn off... I don't understand why either. I have tried disabling all addons and it still glitches.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Activate Friendly + Enemy nameplates
Enter combat state and use a few spells
Nameplates turn off on their own

In the main settings, there's a section called automation. This will show/hide the nameplates depending on what you've selected. If you don't want any automation just make sure they're all set to nothing/white.

If the issue still isn't fixed I'd suggest taking a look if you have any other addons that might have similar features. A common one is Leatrix.

Perfect I think I did that last night and it’s resolved. Thanks again!

I'm getting this similar issue with all my automation turned off. Including this error for more information:
9x ...eBlizzard_NamePlates\Blizzard_NamePlates.lua:247: Usage: GetRaidTargetIndex(unit)
[string "=[C]"]: in function GetRaidTargetIndex' [string "@Blizzard_NamePlates\Blizzard_NamePlates.lua"]:247: in function OnRaidTargetUpdate'
[string "@Blizzard_NamePlates\Blizzard_NamePlates.lua"]:122: in function `OnNamePlateAdded'
[string "@Blizzard_NamePlates\Blizzard_NamePlates.lua"]:56: in function <...eBlizzard_NamePlates\Blizzard_NamePlates.lua:47>

Locals:
(*temporary) = nil

EDIT: Redisabling all of the automation seemed to fix the problem? Unsure how to parse these errors as I dont know LUA :(

This error is in regards to an action in the default blizzard nameplates. You usually don't see these errors unless you are in a beta test, or if an addon has tainted the base nameplates.

So if you are on a live version of the game, an addon has most likely tainted the base nameplates. Figuring out which addon did so can be a bit tricky, but if you can re-produce the issue the best method is to simply disable addons in an attempt to figure out which one is causing it.
