Cannot modify saved UI layout

Support Bug Report
1

Discovered issue last night in which I cannot modify a saved UI layout. I have to save an entirely new layout to keep changes and am unable to delete previously saved iterations. For example: I created a UI and saved is as “MOSS.” Yesterday, I discovered that the position where I had saved my raid frames was terrible and so I went into edit mode to move it. The UI would not let me save this. I had to create an entirely new layout, saved as “MOSS2.” Now, this wouldn’t be too big a deal, but the system also will not allow me to delete previously saved UIs. When one tries to save, nothing happens at all.

Let me also say that I did attempt deleting my cache, interface and WTF files, but this had no effect. The issue continues.

Having the same problem. I went to move the encounter bar and when I went to save it does nothing. Reverses back to the way it was previously.

Same problem here. There have been a few posts on here in regards to this. So I’m reposting this to help get visibility on the issue.

All of the below attempts didn’t work for me:

  • Disabled addons
  • Deleted WTF and Cache
  • Reinstalled Addons
  • Deleted edit mode lua
  • Used Blizzard’s repair tool
  • Tried this on multiple characters and servers

It seems to be something on Blizzard’s side. Any other suggestions to try?

Also having this issue. Can not even load other versions of the UI - even the default 2 - Can not delete any premade ones either. Every time i hit save i get a bunch of errors or nothing happens except my party frames jump downward for w.e reason -.- This was not an issue til today and ive did all the things as everyone else above to no avail.

Also experiencing the same. At some point it just stopped working. Can’t edit any existing saved UIs and can’t even create more. When I click save nothing happens. I can only exit edit mode.

Forced to use the default UIs or unfinished ones.

Tried all the same as above, on two different devices. Nothing is working.

Only work around I have found is an annoying time consuming one - I redid all my UI’s / Imported similar ones / alts of same class then messed around a bit with that, then hit save as a new ui and character specific… I copied and pasted all my load outs into note pad in case they got wonky again and i end up with party frames in my chat, my bars all out of wack, missing bars, or all my bars overlapping everywhere. Sometimes even the making new loadout w character specific selected gets wonky and either doesnt wanna save or reverts to w/e placement with w/e number of icons and messes up my bars completely even abilities wise -.-’’…
I cant even delete, edit, or change up any pre-existing ui and if i try to select even the 2 preset by the game itself also nothing. So for now I have like 4-5 diff character specific saves just because i realized i forgot to move something before making the new loadout since editing and deleting the other one isnt an option at all.

That’s a huge pain, they need to get the UI issues fixed.

I’m also having the same issue. Very frustrating. But the raid frames/boss frames workaround worked. Thank you! I wish I had seen that before deleting the cache and wtf folders haha
