Description
Your own health and power bars, styled like an enemy nameplate, for WoW Forever. They stay with you in every form, and in combat they dock right next to your target's nameplate, so your health and theirs are in one place.
Made for druids and shapeshifters, and works for every class.
Features
- Personal nameplate: health bar, power bar (energy / rage / mana) and an optional extra mana bar, styled like an enemy nameplate.
- Docks to your target: when you target a living enemy, your bars move next to its nameplate (above, left, right or below).
- Fades while fighting: when it isn't docked, the plate turns partly see-through so you can still see the enemy's model.
- Bigger enemy debuffs: makes the debuff icons on enemy nameplates larger (150% by default) and lets you resize or hide their countdown numbers.
- Tracked Buffs docking (new in 1.2.0): Blizzard's Cooldown Manager Tracked Buffs icons hang under your lowest bar: under energy in Cat Form, under mana in caster form, under the extra mana bar when it's on. They follow your form changes automatically.
- Hide Blizzard frames: hide the player frame, target frame, action bars and XP/menu/bag bar, either all the time or only in combat.
- Works with Edit Mode: everything hidden or moved goes back to normal while Edit Mode is open, and comes back when you close it.
Updating
Exit World of Warcraft completely before updating, then start the game again afterwards. A /reload is not enough: the game often won't pick up a new version until it's fully restarted.
Your settings are kept when you update.

Notes and limitations
- WoW Forever doesn't let addons move parts of enemy nameplates, so Blizzard's own debuff row can't be repositioned. ForeverShiftPlate can resize it, but not move it.
- Frames hidden in combat use the game's combat-safe method. If you change a hide setting mid-fight, it finishes applying when combat ends.
- If your plate doesn't appear, check
/fsp status. The addon turns on your own nameplate automatically (nameplateShowSelf).
