Troubleshooting
Most Avid Angler problems can be resolved by checking the active input mode, visible control state, module settings, or whether World of Warcraft is currently blocking protected actions.
The setup wizard opens automatically only when setup has not already been completed or skipped.
To run it again, open Avid Angler and select Settings → Setup Wizard.
Check these first:
- Make sure Avid Angler is enabled on the character selection AddOns screen.
- Make sure the addon folder is named
AvidAngler. - Restart World of Warcraft after a manual installation or update.
- Try
/reloadif the addon was enabled during the current session.
The visible control can pause during combat lockdown or other protected game states. Leave combat or the protected state and try again.
The control can be unavailable if the character is dead or a required spell or action is still loading. Resurrect or give the client a moment to finish loading the required data.
Use Show control in Settings, or right-click the minimap button or Addon Compartment entry to show the visible fishing control again.
Right-click the visible control to wake it. You can also open Avid Angler with /aa and use Settings to show or adjust the visible control.
Check that:
- one-key fishing is enabled.
- The key field contains a valid WoW key binding string, such as
CTRL-F,ALT-F,SHIFT-F,F,BUTTON4, orCTRL-BUTTON5. - You are not in combat.
- The visible fishing control is not sleeping or hidden.
- The Casting module is enabled.
If you changed the key, save the new binding before testing it.
Check that:
- double right-click is enabled.
- You are double right-clicking empty 3D world space, not a UI element.
- You are not holding right-click for camera movement.
- You are not in combat or another protected state.
If Auto Loot is already enabled in WoW settings, Avid Angler does not need to change it. When Avid Angler manages Auto Loot, it restores your previous WoW setting afterward.
Check that:
- The
AvidAnglerequipment set exists. - Equip Gear is enabled.
- You have a previous named equipment set to restore to if you expect a return swap.
- You are not in combat or dead.
Use View Gear in Settings to confirm that the saved fishing set exists and contains the equipment you expect.
Use Scan in Settings to refresh the available fishing actions. Avid Angler scans bags, toys, and usable fishing items. Some toy choices may be unavailable because of water-only, cooldown, or character-use restrictions.
Catch history fills from fishing loot recorded by Avid Angler. If you have not caught anything since installing the addon, or the SavedVariables were cleared, the history will be empty until new catches are recorded.
Midnight scoring depends on Blizzard fishing journal data together with Avid Angler's recorded catches. If game data is still loading or currently unavailable, some score information may be omitted until it becomes available.
Try /reload and reproduce the problem once more. If it continues, report it through the Earthenmist - Addon Hub Discord or the addon project's issue tracker and include what you were doing, what you expected to happen, and any error message shown by the game.
