Leatrix Plus and Leatrix Maps Settings for WoW Forever: What to Turn On

Leatrix Plus and Leatrix Maps are small, quiet addons from the same author, and both have had Forever builds since the beta. They are easy to misjudge: Leatrix Plus does nothing until you tick a box, and Leatrix Maps changes the world map the moment you log in. This guide goes through the Leatrix Plus and Leatrix Maps settings that matter on WoW Forever, one toggle at a time: what to switch on, what to leave off on a first character, and where they clash with Edit Mode, ElvUI or other map addons. Checked on 8 November 2026 for WoW Forever 1.60.1. Option names are taken from the addons' own Forever changelogs.

Short answer

• Get both from CurseForge with the Forever version selected; at the time of writing that is Leatrix Plus 1.60.29-forever and Leatrix Maps 1.60.28-forever.
• /ltp opens Leatrix Plus, /ltm opens Leatrix Maps; both also have a minimap button.
• In Leatrix Plus everything starts off; turn on durability, the tooltip, flight times, faster looting and a few chat options first.
• Leave quest automation off on your first character, because it skips the new Forever quest text.
• Run one map addon only: Leatrix Maps, or OpenMap, not both.

Install and the panel basics

1. In the CurseForge app choose the Forever version of the game, search for Leatrix Plus and Leatrix Maps, and install both. Manual installs go into _forever_\Interface\AddOns.
2. Restart the game fully and tick both at character select.
3. Type /ltp. The panel has pages for Automation, Social, Chat, Text, Interface, Frames and System, plus Settings, and a search box at the top.
4. A cogwheel next to an option opens its sub-settings. An option marked with an asterisk needs a UI reload, so the panel offers a reload button after you change it.
5. If the panel ends up off screen, /ltp reset brings it back to the middle. /ltp wipe resets every setting and reloads, so use it only as a last resort.

Leatrix Maps works the same way: /ltm opens it, /ltm reset recentres the panel, /ltm wipe resets everything.

Leatrix Plus: what to turn on first

Option	Page	Set to	What it does for you
Show durability status	Interface	On	Gear durability on the character frame, so repairs do not surprise you
Enhance tooltip	Interface	On	More detail in tooltips, within what Forever lets addons read
Enhance minimap	Interface	On	Cleaner minimap; its Square minimap sub-option is a matter of taste
Show flight times	System	On	A progress bar with the next stop while you fly
Enhance flight map	Interface	On	A tidier flight map
Show train all button	Interface	On	One button to learn every spell at a class trainer
Show range coloring	Interface	On	Action buttons turn red out of range and blue when short on mana
Faster auto loot	System	On	Loot windows close faster when auto loot is on
Recent chat window, More chat font sizes	Chat	On	Copy chat text and pick a readable font size
Mute game sounds	System	Pick a few	Mutes chosen repeating sounds

The newer Show info cards option (Interface) gives a keybind that opens a card on your target with level, talents and a copyable Wowhead link. It is useful, but set its key so it does not clash with your bars.

Leatrix Plus: what to leave off

• Quest automation. The Automation page can accept and hand in quests for you. Forever has more than a thousand new quests and new story text; leave it off until you have read them once. Reward-choice quests still need you anyway.
• Automate gossip. It skips some NPC dialogue for you. The Forever NPC list was still being filled in during the beta, so it can feel inconsistent.
• Selling junk and repairing automatically. Fine on their own, but switch them off if another addon or tool already does vendor work; two of them fight over the same window.
• Square minimap. A sub-option of Enhance minimap. It briefly blocked Edit Mode's Rotate minimap setting in an October build; since 1.60.19 it no longer blocks rotation and only shows a warning in its tooltip. The day and night indicator still disappears while it is on.
• Set edit mode layout (Settings page). Only useful if you want Leatrix Plus to switch Edit Mode layouts for you; otherwise leave layouts to Edit Mode.
• Set weather density. Forever cannot switch weather off fully; the lowest setting is as far as it goes.

Leatrix Maps settings

Option	Recommended	Note
Show unexplored areas	On, with a light tint	The whole map shows; the tint marks places you have not been yet
Show points of interest	On	Dungeons, raids, flight points, boats, zeppelins and portals; opposing-faction travel points are a separate toggle
Show zone levels	On	Level ranges on continent maps; needs a reload
Show coordinates	On	Player and cursor coordinates, built on Blizzard's own coordinates since an early beta build
Show dungeon maps	On (default)	Dungeon maps from the zone menu, the dungeon icon, or by entering
Use simple map frame	Your choice	Classic-style frame with a quest search box
Unlock map frame	On if you move the map	Drag and scale; Reset map layout puts it back
Hide blackout frame	On	Hides the dark frame behind the enlarged map

The theme menu now includes a Blizzard theme that keeps the default look with the extra features. Map icons and zone menus cannot be clicked in combat, apart from dungeon icons.

Common problems

Problem	What helps
"Incompatible" or out of date	The wrong flavour was installed; select Forever in the CurseForge app, delete both Leatrix folders and reinstall
An option does nothing	It is marked with an asterisk; reload the UI
Edit Mode will not rotate the minimap	An older build's Square minimap blocked it; update Leatrix Plus, or turn Square minimap off
Map frame looks broken with ElvUI	Turn off ElvUI's World Map skin while Use simple map frame is on
Two sets of map icons or coordinates	Another map addon is running; keep one
Filter chat messages greyed out	It was unavailable during a beta issue; check the newest build

Tips

• Use the search box in the /ltp panel instead of paging through seven tabs.
• Change one option at a time and reload, so you know which one caused a problem.
• Keep Leatrix Plus and Leatrix Maps updated together, because some features, such as info cards on dungeon icons, need both.
• Leave Mapster aside for now; at the time of writing it has no Forever update.
• Copy _forever_\WTF\Account\<account>\SavedVariables before /ltp wipe or /ltm wipe.
• Native controller support in Forever is still marked as beta by Blizzard, so test map options with a mouse first.

ForeverBot and this setup

Leatrix Plus and Leatrix Maps can stay on next to ForeverBot. Keep the default UI scale, do not let Leatrix sell junk or repair if the bot's Sell gray items and Repair at vendors are ticked, and leave quest automation off; see ForeverBot first-run setup. Automation breaks Blizzard's rules, and Blizzard bans accounts for it.

FAQ

Does Leatrix Plus work in WoW Forever?

Yes. It has a Forever build on CurseForge, 1.60.29-forever at the time of writing, made for the 1.60.1 client. A few retail options were removed because Forever does not need them, and some settings only show what the game's rules let addons read. More picks are in the best WoW Forever addons.

Why does nothing change after I install Leatrix Plus?

Because it is built that way. Leatrix Plus only does what you tell it to; every option starts switched off. Type /ltp, tick the options you want, and reload when an option has an asterisk. Leatrix Maps is the opposite: its map changes are visible straight after login.

Should I use Leatrix Maps or OpenMap?

Pick one. Leatrix Maps is the safer choice at the time of writing: it has regular Forever builds, dungeon maps and points of interest. OpenMap offers a single seamless world map but was still in beta. Running both gives doubled icons and odd map behaviour. For the rest of your interface, see UI setup with Edit Mode and ElvUI.

Can Leatrix Plus increase camera distance in WoW Forever?

Yes. The addon's own description places a camera option on the System page that lets you zoom out further than the default; the exact label can differ between builds, so use the panel's search box. It changes the same camera setting as the console command, so use one or the other, not both. The values players report and their quirks are in console commands and camera distance.
