There are instructions on how to remove auras for "ready for update" on wa-companion channel on weakauras discord

Could you not just add the instructions to your reply? Let me go join yet another discord channel.

Decided to copy over the instructions from the discord pins here because it's more searchable and all information regarding the app should be consolidated on the github page anyways

What to do if WeakAuras keep showing Ready for Update auras

  • Check which of WeakAuras Companion and Wago App Companion addons are loaded, do not run both at the same time. Note that in the case you have an old installation, uninstalling app does not remove addon in Interface/Addons and you may have to do it yourself.
  • In companion app, push the button to Refresh auras, then in game type /reload
  • Mouseover the yellow-ish Ready for Update buttons, tooltip show the list of auras it wants to update.
  • Find the aura using the Search field on top
  • If you want to keep your version but to not update, go to Information tab, and delete Url field
  • If you want to update and Companion is not helping, delete this aura and reinstall from wago (with Url field)

Once you removed url or aura completely
/reload to save your data
Refresh list of auras in companion app, this will write new data in companion addon
/reload in game once again

I have one also. https://i.imgur.com/3Le8Oun.png

Says its ready to update but it will not update. I deleted the WA several times and reinstalled the weak arua but I cannot get the READY to Update Arua to go away.

Restarted WoW and WA shows the Druid WA is ready to update again even though its not installed.

The WA Companion also shows the Weak arua is ready for an update at well even though I removed it. https://i.imgur.com/CgMHwZm.png

There are pinned explanations.

There is no dedicated documentation on the Discord channel about how to clear updates that were stuck.

You would have to read through all the chat history which controverted itself from time to time.

One way I found was to delete the Wago Addons (not weakaura itself). It worked for me.
