Thought I'd chime in with my issues, I get the "Live world of warcraft path is invalid" despite having checked, and double checked it, multiple times. Despite this error message, it appears to work fine.
On top of that, when I upload, it uploads everything fine, except the ADB Files, and the Items, leaving my window looking like
this
, and attempting to upload after this, it says "No data to upload at this time".
Neither are huge issues, but strange and hopefully to be fixed soon.

I've run into two issues the past few days trying to install the wowhead client on my PC that is running Win10.
The first issue was with Norton Security automatically deleting it when I ran the wowhead client, with the only explanation from Norton being that there were "many indications" that the file was not trustworthy. There wasn't even a "restore" or "undo" option to revert Norton's deletion of the file. But I got around that problem by putting the client on the exclusion list. Nevertheless, this is the first time that I've had Norton flag the wowhead client as being a problem.
The second issue is that when I run the wowhead client, I get what looks to be a wowhead client dialog box that says "An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by" and then nothing after that. The only options are a Retry button or a Cancel button. Choosing Retry leads to a Win10 dialog box that the program has stopped working correctly.

Since Legion hit, I haven't been able to upload item and ADB data. The others work fine. I still collect the data for items and ADB, but the client won't upload it. Just says "No data to upload at this time.".(##RESPBREAK##)2##DELIM##Sas148##DELIM##We're aware those two things don't upload and it's being worked on, for now though the other content uploads and still helps the database.

It seems Wowhead_Client.exe is suddenly triggering AVG AntiVirus. AVG has deleted the file twice now in the last few minutes. It's listed as "Generic Virus".
I haven't run into issues until I came home from work a few minutes ago. I did a download direct from the site, extracted the ZIP file and ran Wowhead_Client.exe, after about a minute it too triggered AVG.

Just went to upload today and there was an update to the client, but when it finished downloading it closed the program and now when I try to run it I get "Wowhead_Client.exe is not a valid Win32 application." I've tried deleting the new exe and renaming the .delete file, but it does the same thing each time, and it does it too fast for me to even stop the download.

Hi,
I'm getting a message of the following
The Wowhead client installs and maintains an addon called the wowhead Looter, which collects data as you play the game. It also has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify if a solution is available.
Any idea of what further information I can provide, or why it would stop functioning after a week away from playing the game and uploading as per usual?

You need to give us an answer about "Items and ADB files not uploading data". It has been months and months.(##RESPBREAK##)2##DELIM##Sas148##DELIM##All I can say is that it's still a work in progress. It shouldn't show 1% anymore, mine for example has gone up to 10% or higher.

So just on a whim this morning I ran the client to see if anything had changed. I got a client and lua update, it detected Live, PTR, and Beta and uploaded data. I don't know why an announcement wasn't put into this thread about the update, but thank you.
Client version now shows 1.9.00

Well, my client (1.9.00) still isn't working, with the issues I described a few posts above, so I disabled the addon in game.

Seems like every other day, the wowhead client keeps disappearing from my desktop. And whenever I try to get it again, I either get an error or it will load but once again it'll disappear.
Not sure what's going on.

G'day, for reasons unknown my wowhead_client.exe file crashed and is in my trash folder and I can't undelete it. I thought I would just download it again from
http://www.wowhead.com/client
but the link on the page sends me to this rather odd address:
http://d293lnphbwltzy5jb200.g00.wowhead.com/g00/1_TU9SRVBIRVVTMCRodHRwOi8vd293LnphbWltZy5jb20vZG93bmxvYWQvV293aGVhZF9DbGllbnQuemlw_
$/$/$
Is this my end or your end?

Entered LFR Xavius and as soon as combat started on the trash I was bombarded by:
721x +Wowhead_Looter\Wowhead_Looter.lua:4279: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'pX' (a nil value)
+Wowhead_Looter\Wowhead_Looter.lua:4279: in function `wlLocTooltipFrame_OnUpdate'
+Wowhead_Looter\Wowhead_Looter.lua:3560: in function `?'
+Wowhead_Looter\Wowhead_Looter.lua:4088: in function <+Wowhead_Looter\Wowhead_Looter.lua:4086>
Locals:
pX = nil
pY = nil
(*temporary) = <function> defined =:-1
(*temporary) = wlLocTooltipFrameText {
0 = <userdata>
}
(*temporary) = <function> defined =:-1
(*temporary) = "%.1f, %.1f"
(*temporary) = nil
(*temporary) = nil
(*temporary) = "attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'pX' (a nil value)"
GetPlayerMapPosition = <function> defined =:-1
Had to disable it midfight because of the too many errors spam in my chatbox, and when I re-enabled it I now have the issue fouts85 mentions above where I can't move my tooltips, they're just stuck in the centre of the screen. That one may or may not be related to the error message spam though.
Pretty sure I have the latest version, certainly the client didn't update anything when I opened it just now to check if I needed an update. Haven't had any trouble with it in outside world content; Xavius is the first instanced content I've done post-patch.
Edit: more locations - Trial of the Crusader, the bit where the floor drops out and you go down to Anub'arak; Ulduar, taking teleporter back from Mimiron to Freya's area, and Icecrown, taking the lift from Sindragosa back to the main area. Rest of the time was fine in those raids.

Patch 7.1 has caused Wowhead Looter's Location Tooltip and NPC ID Tooltip to be reset to the center of the screen and not moveable.
The addon appears to otherwise work correctly when the Load Out of Date Addons feature is enabled.
The two tooltips overlap, so they are a bit difficult to read.
No combination of click drag, shift-click, control-click, or alt-click seems to work to move either Tooltip.

Today with 7.1 I am unable to move the wowhead loader tooltips , they are stuck in the middle of the screen no matter what I do . I even tryied moving it with " Move Anywhere " and it won't pick it up , Can you look into this b/c I can't play with this addon if it's stuck in the middle of the screen and unmoveable . Thanks!
So, this is day number four of this issue.
Is someone working on this?
Is this an an addon issue or are we not doing something correctly?
Do you(devs) care?
Do we(users) really care?
Probably not. We can just disable them for now and use a different working addon for the same info. At least adblock still works on the website. :-)

Not sure what changed in the past week or so, but it now uploads 100% items for me, (63% ADB) but I can see my heirlooms tab now too =)

I've been running the Wowhead Client on my Mac with only periodic success in actually uploading data.
I've created the realmlist.wtf file in my WoW directory and was initially given credit for my upload afterwards.
Now when I try to upload it either bugs out or says it's uploaded successfully but I'm not getting credit when I check my profile. I've also noticed that when I run the uploader, it signs me out of wowhead.com.
I know the Mac uploader has had it's difficulties in the past, but are there any updates coming or fixes you would suggest?
Thanks

I'm having this same issue. The addon works (after the latest update anyway), I just have to disable the "movable" tooltip. The map tooltip is working and as far as I can see, the data is being collected. So there's just something wrong about being unable to move the tooltip. Is it an interaction with another addon or is it a known issue you're going to fix? Thanks.
