Cannot save any elements using Edit Mode

Traevyn-obsidian-edge · November 30, 2022, 9:41am

When I go to edit any element of my UI in edit mode, the Save button does nothing when pressed. For instance, I have a bar I usually keep hidden until combat. I want to swap abilities on it, so I went to edit mode, selected this bar, changed the toggle dropdown to “Always visible” and clicked save.

When trying to close the Edit Mode ui, a popup appears showing “If you exit now you will lose any unsaved changes. How would you like to proceed” with buttons for Save and Exit, Exit, or Canel; saying that changes are unsaved. The “Save and Exit” button likewise does not save any changes made. Trying to edit any other element of the ui through here does not save either currently.

The issue persists through restart.

same thing is happening to me and its a big bummer

Capital-garona · November 30, 2022, 10:22am

Same thing is happening to me. It feels like the whole UI is in Read-Only mode. Anyone find a fix?

Nyonil-moon-guard · November 30, 2022, 12:30pm

This is also happening to me. It will not let me even create new layouts (either overall or character specific) and it’s happening on multiple toons. Was working fine yesterday.

I’ve cleaned out my WTF and addons folder just in case anything was causing it, but was still happening

Harlome-runetotem · November 30, 2022, 1:02pm

Same issue here , Tried to move my Talking Head Frame and it wont let me save anything.

Albeon-draka · November 30, 2022, 1:03pm

I’ve been having this issue all morning. It’s definitely on Blizzard’s side. Over an hour of troubleshooting netted me nothing. Hopefully it gets fixed in the maintenance tomorrow morning.

Dabooly-stormrage · November 30, 2022, 8:10pm

Ad me to this list!

Gwendarose-argent-dawn · November 30, 2022, 8:22pm

Same here. I tried multiple characters in multiple locations with the same result.

Cyphyr-undermine · November 30, 2022, 8:48pm

Same… with all add ons disabled.

Capital-garona · November 30, 2022, 9:07pm

WOW this is so annoying. My chat frame is messed up from a previous edit and I cannot save my changes to get it back how it was before. WTH??

Duckie-illidan · November 30, 2022, 9:33pm

still not working

Sehne-stormrage · November 30, 2022, 9:46pm

What’s neat is the server troubles last night wiped out all of the edit mode settings and templates for some players.

Now they are unable to save changes to their UI. Meaning Blizzard’s bad code deleted their UI and now also prevents them from fixing it.

Burcardo-malganis · November 30, 2022, 9:49pm

Same here. Was working fine yesterday.

Bigfriend-wyrmrest-accord · November 30, 2022, 9:52pm

Same issue. All of the below attempts didn’t work:

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?

(Sorry for the repost. Thought I could fix the weird box it gave my post, but I couldn’t.)

Ashaeri-moon-guard · November 30, 2022, 10:02pm

Same issue - repeatedly unable to save my UI changes. (All add-ons disabled.)
Including Lua Error information in case it is helpful.

This me. My UI was completely reset/erased on Monday, so I redid (most of) it and then it was wiped again. Now I can’t make a new one.

Thegrìmace-tichondrius · November 30, 2022, 10:50pm

Same can’t move or resize anything in my UI.
