I Can't Link Mounts on Chat

Hmm…I’m not sure then, that is realy strange.

Having the same issue but only on my druid. Tried disabling all addons and also a clean reinstall but the issue is still there

Does /reload work?

100% positive you have already tried this but worth a try asking it.

You need to do a proper reset UI.

Even reinstalling won’t necessarily do the same thing - depending on how it’s done.

With WoW totally shut down, rename, move or delete the WTF, Cache and Interface folders - then test before reenabling or reinstalling anything else.

Sadly, that didn’t solve it for me :frowning:

I’ve tried anything in this thread short of a full reinstall. Nothing has worked so far.

Same thing as Luxuria; problem persists after fully resetting my UI and it only happens in one character which is the weird part

One character is actually a common thing indicating it IS a UI issue.

If a proper reset UI doesn’t help, posting in bugs would be the next best step.

I did create a bug report on this issue back in December

Cannot Link mounts into chat

Seems to be a some what common problem, there are other posts in Bug Reports about it as well.

Well it isn’t because the same thing is happening to my Druid…even on an old laptop that I haven’t used for WoW in years. You’re telling me two different systems, years apart in settings and addons, are having the exact same UI issue?

This laptop, you did a fresh install or you updated an old install? I am not sure how much of the system involves server side vs client side data. If both UI’s have fresh reset interfaces, then the next step is the bug report forum.

Just updated but I’d bet my entire account a reset wouldn’t change a thing.

Just wanted to add… that if you view the wowhead link on a particular mount, you can click the “links” button above the mount’s image. This drop down will show three options to link a mount for web sites and in chat. The best I can tell you to do, is try each one of those links to see if any of them are displayed in chat. However this could be something Blizzard disabled due to bots flooding gold buying spam.

Item links aren’t the same as the links from the mount journal.

I found a solution to this issue after trying countless other methods and having no success, the following method worked finally. Type these 2 console commands 1 at a time in the following order:

/console synchronizeConfig 0
/console synchronizeSettings 0

My wonderful friend shared this with me the other day and finally solved this problem after 6+ months of not being able to link mounts.

As far as I can tell, it didn’t have any other side effects whatsoever. The only thing it appears to have done is fixed the mount linking issue, so don’t worry about this breaking anything.

I don’t think blizzard is aware that this is NOT a UI issue. It is associated with the individual character and will persist regardless of changes to UI.

One of the many things I tried while trying to fix this was to install Wow fresh on a different computer with no add-ons and the default interface and it still had the issue. Also it was only on certain characters at first and then it slowly spread across my account.

It’s possible that the issue might be initiated by a faulty add-on or interface bug, but the solution does not lie in resetting the UI. It seems as though something (perhaps a faulty add-on) can trigger something server-side, which then prevents the linking of mounts until these console commands are run to reset the values server-side back to their defaults.

Whether the issue will then recur in the future may depend on UI and add-ons, but critically the actual fix is not dependent on them.

I just tried this and it didn’t work for me :frowning:

Perhaps there’s more than one bug causing the same issue.

Thanks for sharing what worked for you though :smiley:

Having same issue here. Can’t link mounts. Any word or fixes?

Did you try any of the suggestions in the posts above?

Past those, the answer is that there have not been any fixes announced.

Also make sure your chat window isn’t set to non interactive

I’m having this same issue. I tried all the steps above and even deleted/reinstalled WoW along with wtf/interface/config folders without luck.

It seems to be an issue that only my main character (this one) is having. It’s been going on for a couple of months now and I’m at a loss on how to fix it :frowning:
