Is there a way to have friendly NPC nameplates on all the time? I thought that’s how it used to work… Trying to do the quest for benediction and no friendly nameplates are showing up. But friendly player nameplates do show.
Thank You

not working, and not bound there anymore. have always show nameplates clicked on. not the bars. can only see names. tried deleting wtf and addons folder also
ouchies, you got problems. Maybe you gotta clean install
V and Shift V and some variations of it should work. Could just try to go to character specific bindings, reset all to default and it should auto start working with either V or Shift V.
Reset everything on that toon only. Then Shift V should work. Bug that sometimes happens that wont let you bind it to Shift V. So a hard reset may be needed.
just reinstalled windows 
still a no go
brother
Did you try searching ‘name’ in the menu?
Also [shift + v] as well as [ctr + v] can both impact nameplates I believe. Check your keybinds as well, maybe you change the bounds.
ty for your help lol, its just NPC bars for some reason… player bars work, just not npc… i think its in the game, i dont remember it being like that tho.
the NPC floating health bar only shows when i have that specific NPC targeted
search ‘name’ in menu there is like a select with arrows: < options >
click the arrows to change the setting
And it changes how which NPC nameplates are shown.
that’s irrc - I am not logged in at the moment.
Why windows, only we were talking about world of Warcraft install.
double check your nameplate options, then hit cntrl+v twice, if that doesnt work, turn off addons to see if they are breaking it
rebind it.
bound to shift f11, tried them all
Make sure it’s the right key that’s bound. There’s like 4 keybindings that sound the same and do something like this.
Without putting too much effort into helping you, screenshots or a video would help you the most I think. Or sharing your screen with a friend in discord.
I can help ya out with that after dinner tonight if you’re desperate.
same thing is happening on my laptop, i think it’s just in game now

Hey so this happened a while back with a guildie and it turned out to be an addon configuration. I skimmed through this thread and I didn’t see any mention of it, so maybe try disabling all your addons and seeing if they come back.
I can’t remember what the particular fix for them was, it was ages ago and I’m not sure they play anymore. All I remember is that it was the same issue you were having and it was an addon problem.
I found a solution that worked for me. These two text inputs:
I selected “do not make these changes” or the equivalent of that when prompted in game and still worked.
/console cvar_default
/run C_CVar.SetCVar("nameplateShowAll)
Found in this thread:
Healthbars not showing - Guides / UI and Macro - World of Warcraft Forums (blizzard.com)
Thank you all for the help!
Sounds like you found a new “feature.”
Grats.
