Can someone please refresh my memory on how to transfer my addon settings to another PC?
just copy the interface folder from one to the other.

Thanks!
I remember needing to copy a WTF folder or something last time I did it. But I wasn’t sure if file paths or something had changed. It’s been awhile for me!
It’s more the WTF folder. WTF contains the blizzard save files as well as the saved settings from addons. Interface contains the actual addons.
Whack the WTF folder (or copy it). Interfaces is a bonus if you are removing addons.

Interface has an Addon folder that will bring Addons.
WTF holds character information re: macros, keybinds, and all the settings per character. Bring that over as well.

Here’s blue confirm of what Pokedex said in case you want that: Transfer Addon Settings to New Computer - Blue Tracker
If you want a fresh install of the game and addons, the only folder you need for addon settings is the account folder inside the WTF folder.
The interface folder DOES NOT have your saved variables.
The blue post stays mum on what happens after you copy the settings over.
The big problem with taking your configs from another account is you aren’t actually copying them since profiles set the plugin to a character - server.
You can also look in the wtf\account\server\savedvariables folder where you might find Bartender or Plater or whatever. In most of those, it’s a pretty clear structure you can use to change the names of character - server in each profile. Find your old character from account A, change the name to character on account B.
Or just boot up, select the addon config page, and select a new profile for your character on the addon config menu.
A high percentage of the addons work this way, but a few will prove “special” and not so easily copied.
