Hello.

I like this addon, but i really want to hide the system dashboard and the proffession dashboard - how do i do that? I've looked at Reddit, and people suggest it's /elvui > BenikUI > Dashboards, but this option i do not have... Any suggestions?

Thanks!

It's been reported before and the culprit is that you might have installed an outdated ElvUI addon. So, disable all the addons with ElvUI in their name, except ElvUI, ElvUI_Config (these two are the main ElvUI ones) and ElvUI_BenikUI and the option you need will be there. After that, you can re enable your other ElvUI addons one by one, to grab the one that is causing the issue.

Also, for faster support, you can join BenikUI Discord here: https://discord.gg/8ZDDUem

Cheers :)

That's an ElvUI related question but anyway, if you want your Target (or Player) debuffs to show in a separate position, you must goto ElvUI -> Unitframes -> Target (or Player) -> General and disable "Smart Aura Position", then in ElvUI -> Unitframes -> Target (or Player) -> Debuffs -> set "Attach to" -> "Frame" and "Anchor Point -> "Left". You also might need to play with x and y Offset.

Having "Smart Aura Position" enabled, one of the things it does is that the debuffs will always be placed above Buffs and when there is no Buff present, the Debuffs will show where the Buffs are set to.

I don't have this error but I added a safety check for it. It's available at the dev version

See if this fixes it. Thank you

Hello.

I have one problem on npc name.

That problem comes up at 2/9 installation process. (classic v.s. v3)

If I choose v3 on progress, npc name is changed like blizzard style.

After that change, I can't change it again like elv style.

I want to choose v3 with elv style npc name.

If it is possible, please let me know about it.

Or if it is real bug, please announce it and fix it.

Thank you.

(p.s.)

I'm Korean, and I'm not good at English.

If and when I use rude or strange expression, I'm really sorry about that.

I do my best to write this respectfully, and correctly.

Your English are perfect no worries :)

"npc name is changed like blizzard style", you mean the name text or the nameplate? (the one with the healthbar). If it's the nameplate, the default keybinds to show them are:
V - Show enemy name plates
Shift+V - Show friendly name plates
Ctrl+V - Show all name plates

Also, in instances, friendly nameplates for any addon, are disabled due to Blizzard limitations after patch 7. Only the default Blizzard friendly nameplates can be shown.

Keep me posted and include a screenshot in your next reply, in case I missunderstood your issue.

Thank you
