β FAQ
π€ Something innocent got hidden. What do I do? Open the Log tab to see which category caught it, then add the word to Always-show keywords, trust the player, or switch that category (or strict mode) off.
π Does it report or delete anything? No. CF+ only changes what you see on your screen.
βοΈ Why did a message get through during a boss fight? WoW: Forever uses the modern addon restrictions, and some chat is protected from addons during restricted content. CF+ lets those messages through rather than breaking.
π Can it hide chat bubbles? No addon can filter the speech bubbles above characters' heads. The chat window is fully covered.
π§ The minimap button is in the wrong place. Drag it, or set Settings β Minimap shape (or /cfp minimap square). /cfp minimap reset puts it back.
