  SOLUTIONS....

  SHORT VERSION: Uninstall, and then Re-install Tidy Plates

  LONG VERSION: Tidy Plates 6.3.2 improved the handling of combat log data through the debuff widget, but also became more sensitive to malformed data packets, which have increased since WoW 4.2. The malformed data caused problems when calling the GetSpellInfo() function. This causes a break in the nameplate refresh cycle, which interrupts the update process. Since nameplates are recycled, the user would see the last good name that was associated with that frame. Users with "Show LUA Errors" turned-off don't see the error report, only the name problem.

  After the bug became known, TP 6.3.2 was removed from circulation.

  Version 6.3.3 fixed the bug, but for some folks, the Curse client is not updating important files. I don't know if this is due to the removal of TP 6.3.2 (which might have confused the client), but the remedy is to remove the addon, and then reinstall. Only the core addon needs to be refreshed; You don't need to reinstall 3rd-party themes (like Threat Plates).

  @Twinsen01: Go

  You may have to force the Curse Client to re-install, or uninstall and then re-install.

  Whole blocks of code were removed and replaced in 6.3.4. Line 550 no longer has anything to do with the GetSpellInfo() function. If you open up TidyPlates\widgets\DebuffWidget.lua, and look at line 550, this is what you should see:

  raidicon = unit.raidIcon

  if you see...

  CurrentDebuff.name = GetSpellInfo(tonumber(spellid) or 0)

  ...your copy has not been properly updated. I don't know why this is happening, but it is certainly out of my control.

  Worked perfectly after updating to the latest version 6.3.4.

  Make sure you've got "Display LUA Errors" turned on; I suspect that this issue is related to either...

  1. The GetSpellInfo, Invalid Spell Slot error that started popping up, OR 2. Curse updater issues.

  The GetSpellInfo error was fixed in 6.3.3, but the updater is still having trouble with it.

  Also, you could try disabling the debuff widget to see if there's some effect.

  I have had this problem both before and after reinstalling 6.3.4 (it originally said "Modified" and now says "Recently Updated"). It happens in both PvE and PvP. If I toggle Enemy Nameplates off and back on with my WoW hotkey, it will sometimes restore some of the missing nameplates and sometimes remove nameplates that were there to begin with. If I keep repeatedly toggling it off and back on enough times (upwards of a dozen), it eventually displays all of the missing plates (after doing an odd blinking-Christmas-tree-lights sort of thing for a bit). The cycle then repeats sometime later, when I notice that a new group of enemies' plates aren't all displaying and mash the toggle key until either I get them all back up or my friends have killed them all.

  Mine says Modified on the Curse Client too (having the same issue). Going to update it to see if that fixes it.

  for anyone having this issue try re-downloading 6.3.3 with the curse client. I too had this issue and when looking at Tidy Plates in curse client it was showing i had the latest version but that it was "modified". I'm assuming this means there was some issue with the original 6.3.3 version that was uploaded to curse, but then the author re-uploaded the addon with the same version number.

  TLDR: Force curse to re-install 6.3.3 and it will probably fix the issue.
