Restricting CurseForge's API won't stop your already installed addons from working, they simply won't be updated by WowUp anymore - while that will certainly be a problem at some point, you shouldn't have to worry about logging in one day in the near future and your addons suddenly not working. It's still not quite clear exactly when this changeover will happen, though keep in mind that this is about addon updating and management. Lobby CurseForge to either give you a key for their new API or allow WowUp to host a solution that they agree to.Īlong with the fourth option of manually update the remaining addons, although that runs somewhat contrary to the point of using an addon manager in the first place.
Politely lobby the author of your missing addons to host them somewhere else, such as Wago or GitHub.
You have several options none of them ideal. While many addons are also available for download on various other websites such as Github or WowInterface, others are only found on CurseForge. If you already use CurseForge/Overwolf, or another way of installing your addons, this doesn't apply, but WowUp users will need to find new sources for some popular addons.įollowing these steps as laid out by WowUp doesn't mean all addons will be found though. Although this change is taking some time to finalize, WowUp has released a short guide to help its users prepare for the turnover - attempting to find new hosts for addons that WowUp previously downloaded from CurseForge. Last February, we highlighted Overwolf's decision to deny WowUp API access to CurseForge, citing their exclusivity clause and WowUp's decision to partner with addon hosting competitor Wago.io.
