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.
