Hi
I’m looking for an addon that would display players titles on nameplates, otherwise I can only see titles on tooltips or disable nameplates to display standard text.
Plater probably does this.
No I’ve got Plater already and it doesn’t. Unless I’m missing an option.
I have no idea if this works with Plater but …
/run hooksecurefunc("CompactUnitFrame_UpdateName", function(self) if not UnitIsPlayer(self.unit) then return end if self:IsShown() then local name = UnitPVPName(self.unit) if name then self.name:SetText(name) end end end)
It probably needs extra if you just want to effect nameplate names.

No shortcode for it in the name settings?
Sorry for my late reply, I just saw your post from my history.
Wow. It didn’t work with Plater, but after I disabled Plater and ran your macro indeed the nameplate are showing the titles!!! I’ve been playing wow since Vanilla ad it’s the first time I see the titles being displayed on nameplate! So great.
Now I don’t know why Plater does not support that. I was convinced the Blizzard UI just couldn’t handle it. I will see if I can modify Plater myself to patch it, you just gave me an AWESOME clue.
Thank you
necro’d this post. Was anyone successful with having plater show player titles?
Definitely there is actually a Plater Mod written by Continuity that added Player Title and their PvP Rank to their Name in the Nameplate which still works.
A Link to this Plater Mod is below

Have fun

As Elvenbane mentioned you’re likely not using the correct option for how you are adding the Plater Mod.
If you are using either the Weakaura Companion Application, then you use the Application Download Button Option and use the application to install it.
If you’re trying to do it while in game, then with your game open and your character logged in tab out and back to windows and your browser with it open on the page that I linked previously you’ll need to click the Import button at the top of the page that I linked in my last post.
Once it’s copied, tab back into World of Warcraft, open Plater Configuration again with /plater, select the Plater Mod Section and then click import, and press CTRL and V on your keyboard to paste the string into the plater. The plater mod should be installed and ready to go.
