Addons folder moved?

After logging in following 8.1 my addons are now in C:\PFX86\Wow\Interface\Addons. I installed the game on D:… and addons folder used to be under that drive. Is there a reason why my addons were moved outside of the installed location for the game?

The addons folder isn’t missing, they just changed it. This should be the new and correct path:

C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft_retail_\Interface\AddOns

This threw me off, too. They changed the file organization. You should see a _retail_ folder where you used to see cache/interface/wtf. Everything will be in there.

Found the retail folder, thanks.

Wow… this forum is trippy… Also, can we star this somehow?? I was totally wondering what happened to the folders too. but this totally answered it! Thanks!

my addons wont even update now, nor twitch app too

my addons aren’t working. are they working for anyone else? I put them in the new folder but they won’t show up in game.

You have to move them to the new interface/addon folder inside retail now.

Yeah, this was a bit of a rabbit hole to dive down, before finding out that things had moved to the new _retail_ directory:
