ElvUI and WeakAuras for WoW Forever: Where They Stand Now
ElvUI and WeakAuras are not in the same position for World of Warcraft: Forever (WoW Forever): Tukui's ElvUI download page is titled as an ElvUI download for modern WoW and Forever, while CurseForge's WeakAuras page lists no Forever flavor and Forever players use forks such as ForeverAuras. That is what the pages said when I read them on November 9, 2026; add-on support changes quickly.
Quick answer: ElvUI is downloaded from Tukui, not CurseForge, and its page title names Forever. WeakAuras on CurseForge lists modern WoW and Classic flavors but not Forever; for Forever, CurseForge shows forks, led by ForeverAuras (797,145 downloads). I did not test any of them in game.
Key facts
- ElvUI: Tukui page titled as a download for modern WoW and Forever, with a button reading ElvUI 16.01
- ElvUI on CurseForge: a Forever search finds 41 projects for "ElvUI", all plugins, skins and add-ons that mention it, such as WindTools (8.1M downloads), BenikUI (5.9M) and ElvUI Eltruism (1.1M); ElvUI itself is not among them
- WeakAuras on CurseForge: flavors modern WoW, MoP Classic, Titan Reforged Classic, Classic and Classic TBC; no Forever
- Downloads are all-time across every game version the project lists, so they are not Forever-only counts
Does ElvUI work in WoW Forever?
Tukui's ElvUI page is titled as a download for modern WoW and Forever, and offers ElvUI 16.01. The page loaded its details by script when I read it, so I could not read a changelog or a Forever-specific note. I did not install it, so whether every module behaves in Forever is unconfirmed. Its license says private modifications only and the add-on name must not change.
ElvUI itself did not appear in any of the three pages of CurseForge's Forever results for "ElvUI" (41 projects). What did appear are add-ons built for it, each listed with a Forever flavor, including WindTools, BenikUI, MerathilisUI, ToxiUI and Masque: ElvUI. A plugin being listed does not tell you how ElvUI itself runs in Forever.
Does WeakAuras work in WoW Forever?
The WeakAuras CurseForge page, by Stanzilla, lists modern WoW, MoP Classic, Titan Reforged Classic, Classic and Classic TBC. Its newest files were dated October 10, 2026 for the Classic builds, and none was tagged Forever. WeakAuras' GitHub page does not mention Forever either. So I found no sign that the original WeakAuras supports Forever.
What replaces WeakAuras in WoW Forever?
CurseForge's Forever filter shows several forks:
- ForeverAuras - A WeakAura Fork (Neroxrw): Forever only, updated November 9 (version 1.3.5). Its page says it "was created to be a replacement for WeakAuras2 in WoW Forever," calls itself a modified version of WeakAuras 2 under GPLv2, and says it was under development during the beta. Open it with /fa or /foreverauras.
- Musca Auras: described as a WeakAuras fork that keeps working in combat, with a one-click HUD for nine classes.
- EverAuras and Everything Auras: also described as WeakAuras forks for Forever; the second lists modern WoW too.
"Keeps working in combat" is each author's description; I did not test it.
Can I use my old WeakAuras strings?
I did not open any page that says whether strings made for the original WeakAuras import into ForeverAuras or the other forks, so I cannot say. Check the fork's own page or Discord. ForeverAuras lists GitHub and Discord for support.
How do I find them?
Search for the add-on name on CurseForge with the Forever flavor selected, or use ElvUI's Tukui page. For installing steps see how to install add-ons, and if an add-on does not appear in game see add-ons not showing up. The wider list is in best add-ons.
What is not confirmed yet
- Whether ElvUI 16.01 runs fully in Forever; only its page title says it supports Forever.
- Whether the original WeakAuras will ever list Forever.
- Which fork is best; I rank none, and download counts do not measure quality.
- Whether old aura strings import into the forks.
Can Willo or the Lore Forever add-on help with my interface?
Ask Willo out loud, for example "which aura add-on works in Forever". She can be wrong and is not official, so the add-on's own page is the source of truth; she does not install or change anything for you. Willo is free to start (50 answers a day) and is a separate companion app for Windows 10 or 11 and Apple Silicon Macs (macOS 12 or later), per her page; the Lore Forever FAQ says Windows and Mac, though CurseForge still calls her a Windows app. The free Lore Forever add-on adds quest stories. It is fan-made, not affiliated with Blizzard, has no internet access, and its narration uses generated voices.
