To import a Plater profile in WoW Forever, type /plater, open the Profiles tab, click Import Profile, paste the string, give it a name and /reload. Plater's own Profiles tab points to wago.io/plater for shared profiles. We don't host strings ourselves.

Plater Nameplates has a Forever version: release 663 from 4 November lists the Forever interface line. Update it before you import anything. The button names below come from Plater's own English text.

Step by step

  1. Update Plater from Wago or GitHub.
  2. Type /plater and open the Profiles tab.
  3. Click Share Profile and paste your current profile somewhere safe. That's your backup.
  4. Click Import Profile and paste the string you copied.
  5. Give it a name. If that name is taken, Plater asks before it overwrites the old one.
  6. /reload, then stand near some enemies and check your nameplates.

Where to find profiles

Start with wago.io/plater, which is the link Plater puts in its own Profiles tab. Creators also share strings in their video descriptions.

We can't tell you which shared profiles were made for Forever, so check each one:

  • Look for a recent date and a description that names Forever.
  • Import it under a new name, so your current profile stays untouched.
  • Prefer a profile from someone who plays your role, as a tank's layout and a healer's are built differently.

Only import from people you trust

Plater profiles can carry scripts and mods, and that code runs in your game. For what's inside a string, see profile strings explained.

Do retail profiles work

They can load, but expect to tidy them. A retail profile may reference spells Forever doesn't have, and any scripts inside it were written for retail. Expect to rebuild your debuff list afterwards.

If the import fails

  • "Invalid profile file." The string is usually incomplete. Copy the whole string again and paste it in one go.
  • "Invalid profile data." Plater shows this when the string isn't a profile. Mods and scripts go in their own tabs, not the Profiles tab.
  • It imports but looks wrong. Check the profile isn't made for a different screen size or UI scale, then adjust the nameplate size first.

For a first setup without any string, see Plater in WoW Forever. If you'd rather keep nameplates simple, Threat Plates is the lighter option and BetterBlizzPlates keeps the default look. Whole-UI layouts work differently: see UI import codes.
