It's been a long time since I have had to manually install addons. I don't remember how to do it. I sort of made it work with this attempt. Downloaded recount. Dragged the addon into the addons folder. Only thing is the recount addon is there, but it has no text, and i can't move it around or anything.

In the WoW folder, create a new folder called Interface (if it doesn’t already exist) 5. Open that folder, create another one inside it, called AddOns (again, if it doesn’t already exist) 6. Open the AddOns folder 7. Copy the files from the folder on your desktop into the AddOns folder 8. Log into game. Use WowMatrix to Download, Install and Update Your Favorite World of Warcraft AddOns! Before starting your game, just fire up WowMatrix and let it update. A large collection of WoW WoTLK Addons (2.4.3).

Go to curse.com and get the client makes it 100% easier and will alert when you need to update your add-on
I don't understand the extract the zipped addon part. I have winrar for that. But I don't get what I need to do.
EDIT: not using curse client. pretty sure it did harm to my old pc. even after I would uninstall it, it would keep popping up a window asking me to redownload it even though i didn't want it.
EDIT AGAIN: To Dankorii. As for my question. Which buttons do I need to click in order to extract the files?

OK, since you use Winrar the process is a little different.
After having saved the downloaded addon folder to your desktop, you should now have an icon of stacked books labeled with the addons name.
Double click on that icon > the Winrar window will open up > highlight every folder related to the addon > click on the 'Extract to' button located at the top of the Winrar window > locate the directory where the addon will be installed, which should be inside of the World of WarcraftInterfaceAddOns folder.

yer i did all that and i also got the acp but they are not showing up in the game
When you say they're not showing up in the game, do you mean that they're not on the Addons button in the character select screen, or that they aren't there when you try to log in?
If they're not updated to the latest patch, you'll need to open up the Addons menu from character selection and check 'Load out of date addons'.
If they aren't on that list, or the Addons button doesn't show up, I would check your install path. Each addon should be in a separate folder, with the exact name of the addon itself, with a path like this:
World of WarcraftInterfaceAddonsAddon_Name_Here
If there's an extra folder in the file path, or a missing one, the addon won't load properly.

i am trying to add an addon. Ive never done it before. I dragged the zipped folder into the addon folder. what do I do after that?
Crisaa,
You'll need to extract the addon from the zip archive and then place that extracted folder in your InterfaceAddons directory located in the game directory.
You can get to the game directory by clicking on the options menu on the launcher (located under the game title) and selecting Show in Explorer.

I have played this game since burning crusades and I have used dbm since wotlk and then stopped playing wow when I first caught wind of 'Mists of....eeck' expansion and then returned to this game when BFA came out. I've done everything correctly in regards to extracting the latest version of DBM into the addon folder and states that the timer, core and GUI is missing or needed to be installed. Any pointers?
Vyan,
This thread is from several years ago. Locking this one, but if you need help with your addons the UI/Macro forums are a better bet for you.

What's the deal with the 'fragmentation' of addon hosting? Curse is a mess to browse now, and some very basic stuff is missing. WoWInterface tends to have outdated versions. WoW-Freakz looks like a 14 year old found an 2006 PHP-Nuke tutorial.
Have we really regressed this much? Is there a new site I'm not aware of? As an example, I went to download 'Bartender4' but couldn't find it on Curse. Found it on WoWInterface, so downloaded it there even though it seemed suspiciously outdated (July 12, 2017). I then searched the site for 'MoveAnything' and noticed the 2012 timestamp. So I googled and found it on Curse.
This is insane. To make matters worse, I can't actually browse Curse by category because it just returns a bunch of compilations that include that category. Browsing the action bars section, for example, returns stuff like ElvUI edits and rotation 'helpers' (the fact that these rotation helpers are even popular is pathetic, but that's a complaint for another time).
Anyway, is this really the state of affairs?

Curse recently moved their addon hosting over to curseforge.com (which used to be just for addon development) so things are a bit of a mess.
However, you can still search/browse them easily:
https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons
That said, the easiest way to find and update addons is the Twitch Client (formerly Curse Client)

wtf is going on with my add ons curse no longer works and twitch sucks
Thank goodness I have my forum ESP turned on and can read your mind through the internet.
Hmmm...
Yes....
I see...
Ok.
The solution to that it's to use the twitch app to keep your addon settings backed up and your addons updated and installed properly. Using the Twitch app uninstall and reinstall the broken addin.
If that doesn't work, disable half your addons and see if that problem continues. Repeat until the problem is found.
You may also need to do this.

I'm not sure which addons you are looking at on WoWInterface, but the ones I regularly use are updated frequently. Some may take longer than others and some authors seem to update Curse first.
Chicago - they've got great public wifi there.
Oh, wait . . . .
Oh, wait . . . .
Curse and WoW Interface are the reputable/reliable sites. Some authors release on both, some prefer one or the other. Look for addons on both, see where which has the most up-to-date versions, and prefer that site for that addon.
I use WoW Interface as a first selection (the site is not the nightmare that curse is and its forums see frequent use), only looking on Curse when I can't find what I'm looking for or when what I find isn't the most up-to-date.
I refuse to install the Curse/Twitch update client -- I honestly don't trust them -- but I do use WoW Interface's Minion for a bit of convenience, but honestly a download client just isn't necessary to use a d/l client, just use a favorites list, check once a week or so, and manually download.
Both are easy and accurate to search so if you're having issues you might want to explain how you're trying to search them. I really dislike Curse but it's search function isn't bad.
