Greetings, adventurers!
You may have recently encountered a perplexing error: the ‘ADDON_ACTION_FORBIDDEN’ error. This issue has raised concerns among many players, including those who use our Zygor Guides addon. In this blog post, we’ll dive into what this error is, why it’s happening (even when addons aren’t at fault), and what you should do if you encounter it.
What Is the ‘ADDON_ACTION_FORBIDDEN’ Error?
The ‘ADDON_ACTION_FORBIDDEN’ error is a message that appears in your WoW chat or error log when an addon attempts to perform an action that is not allowed by the Blizzard game client. While it often occurs after game updates or patches and can affect a wide range of addons, including Zygor Guides, there’s something crucial to understand – sometimes it’s a false positive.
Why Is This Occurring?
Typically, this error occurs when Blizzard modifies the game’s code or security policies. This is how they prevent add-ons from interfering with the game in unintended or potentially harmful ways. However, there are instances where the error appears due to changes on Blizzard’s end, even when addons aren’t at fault.
Can You Ignore It?
Absolutely! You can confidently ignore the ‘ADDON_ACTION_FORBIDDEN’ error, even when it pops up unexpectedly. Contrary to its alarming name, this error is a false positive and doesn’t signify any wrongdoing on Zygor Guides’ part. It doesn’t pose any risk of getting your account banned or sanctioned.

been using this program for a while now, its awesome man. i recommend it to anyone and i know for sure when you buy it your going to see that its so much more than you ever thought you would get. 10 bucks a month is worth the work they put into this for sure. this isnt just a little addon its a whole program that installs to the desktop with easy updates
Love this addon but this post is literally not informative. “It’s not us” is not an explanation.
I was using zygor without buying it, no way I will pay for an addon after I bought the game and sub lol.
I can tell that addon is useful sometimes, it was good in all retail addons where you need to complete tons of campaigns like BFA and SL. But for older continents there are still no speedrun routes to fast lvl with quests.
For classic it’s worst addon, it has slowest route, I started using rxp, cuz it’s just faster. Rxp’s interface is garbage comparing to zygor’s, but rxp size is 3 MB and zygor’s is 100 MB and it’s very laggy when constructing closest route to target.
For retail it’s best addon atm, but for classic it’s 50/50, it’s more comfortable to use, cool interface and you can find closest NPCs with repair or class trainers, but leveling is too slow, you gonna grind mobs for eternity.
Forgot to add that LUA errors that were appearing whole DF xpac was not cuz Blizzard broke everything, it was 1st month, then they fixed it, but Zygor kept giving errors nonstop 🙂 Now situation ofc better, but back then they made a post with “it’s all Blizzard, not us”, liars…
Thank you for keeping your Zygor customers up to speed on what’s happening. Very professional. I got the bug, wondered what it was all about, ignored it and carried on playing. I’ve used your guides for years, there’s none better.
I am forced to admit, as inappropriate as it may be and as angry as it may make some people, for many, many years I have found Zygor AND THEIR CUSTOMER SUPPORT STAFF, to be consistently helpful and a valuable add on for WoW. I consistently recommend the program to any WoW player.
BEst addon ever people like MIke above are just bad at the game in general it so muc better then the other payed guide
I never see the error. There is an addon called ‘Swatter’ that catches these kinds of messages and kills them.
Worse addon, I can’t believe anyone pays.money for this buggy leveling guide. Steps are so screwed up, if you were not experienced and catch somofnthe bugs people would be lost or going in circles.
Jog on Mike. That’s absolute BS, if you was so bothered you would of unsubscribed from the email updates…
