Our guild master Punkymonkey-Kromcrush can’t change the settings for guild permissions or promote a guild member without the permissions tab changing his rank and not saving the selected permissions. Please advise!
Hi Gleader,
This can be caused by certain addons, such as Questie. Try disabling your addons and attempting to change your guild settings and permissions again.
bagnon addon was the culprit for me. Disable it while working on the guild interface.
Hey, questie developer here we’ve had a few users report the “<addon> has performed an action only allowed by the Blizzard UI” in guild interface issue, I’m honestly at a total loss how it could happen. None of the questie code touches the guild interface. This can also happen with the group UI, someone had it pop up when trying to leave a party (Which questie also doesn’t touch)
It can happen with other addons too, seemingly at random. Like the above poster with Bagnon, which probably also doesn’t touch the guild interface.
There seems to be a bigger underlying bug at play here
There’s an issue on github about it for those who want to follow
https://github.com/AeroScripts/QuestieDev/issues/697For posterity, apparently this can happen when an addon does HookScript or SetScript on something like GameTooltip. When a blizzard UI starts using that object at a later time, the scripts aren’t cleared and can still be run. At that point addon code is not allowed to run so it triggers the error
The fix is to make sure the addon code checks IsForbidden() inside any script hooks for blizzard UIs like GameTooltip.
Can’t speak for bagnon, but the fix for Questie should be up by tonight, it’s on the git just needs more testing. Sorry to anyone who had this issue because of questie
