Where is the addons folder?

It depends on the flavor. The table lists them.

Do Forever addons work on retail?

Only when the toc lists both interface numbers. Check the addon page.

Why are my Forever addons missing?

The usual miss is the beta folder. See not showing up.

Are addons banned in Midnight?

The posts limit combat data. They do not call the act of installing an addon a ban. See policy.

CurseForge for its catalog, WowUp for GitHub and Wago. See the comparison.
