I put in a bug report about the POI dots and area indications outlines not showing on map/mini map - I have solved the issue by uninstalling the FarmHud addon then reinstalling it and changing in the addon the options for both “Points of Interest” and “Track Quest POIs” from “like mini map” to “show”
As far as the logic for this problem goes, the farmhud addon must have access to a tracking option on mini map that does not exist in the game anymore. So when “like mini map” is selected in the farmhud addon options it disables POI and there is no ingame option to enable that function again.
A solution for this issue is to either include POI tracking as an option in the game, or addons ability to make this selection so that other users do not accidentally do that same thing I did.
Look at the wiki or just use advanced interface options to browse all cvars.
These 3 are probably relevant

Worldmap filter setting for showing any WQs on the map, this is in conjunction with the questPOI cvar. |
typing this in chat would toggle this specific cvar on
/console QuestPOI 1
or off
/console QuestPOI 0

Oh i did not know about this thanks
I have the same issue with blue quest areas not showing up on the minimap. I also run FarmHud. I tried OP’s solutions and they didn’t work. The console commands Battle posted didn’t work either.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled, deleted WTFs and interface folders, still no solution to this weird bug.
FIXED!
Solution:
Had a friend of mine look at the settings between two characters, one that didn’t have quest blobs on the minimap and one that did.
In WoW > retail > WTF > Account > Account Name > Server Name > Character Name > config-cache.wtf
The broken character had – SET minimapTrackedInfov3 “0”
The unbroken character had – SET minimapTrackedInfov3 “1003245”
We copied those config settings to the broken character and it’s fixed! The minimap now displays quest area outlines again!
Odd bug, not sure why it happened but I’m sure FarmHud probably kicked the bee’s nest and got it started somewhere along the line.
