Thank you for taking the time to test and double check. I’m really not sure why it didn’t operate that way for me as well. Thankfully it’s not something that has to be done at each log in and is only needed when I have reinstalled addons from scratch.

Thank you again though. The effort is very much appreciated.

As an update, the issue is still occurring. Here are the results of the testing I did.

I removed my WTF and Interface folders. I logged into WoW and let it rebuild the folder structure and contents then exited and closed the game. I installed a fresh/latest version of the Guide via the installer. I then logged in and checked the tracking menus (Guides and WoW’s). I am using Stormwind as a test area for it’s ease of access and small number of pets. I set up the options so that I am tracking pets via WoW’s options and also choosing to only show Not Collected pets via Guide Options on the Maps. Currently, the icon for the Stormwind Rat shows on the map and states I have not collected it.

I made sure to open and close the Pet Journal. No change.

I left the Stormwind zone and re entered it. No change.

I entered a pet battle with a Stormwind Rat and forfeited. No change.

I entered a pet battle with a Stormwind Rat and caged it. The map shows correctly now.

I inspected multiple zones and checked what was shown as Not Collected vs my Pet Journal and it was all showing properly now. For completeness, I logged into several other characters and found them all to be displaying collected and not collected properly.

It appears that the information did not get saved/updated/requested in the Guides database until the pet battle event of successfully caging a pet occurred. I’m not sure what event the Guide looks for to update it’s database.

It’s very strange. Now looking at a different toon on the same account and faction and the same thing is happening again. Here’s a couple screenshots.

Thank you! I’m not sure how I missed that menu, but I did. That solves one part of the problem.

The remaining issue is that it is not recording what pets I do have. I now have it set to only show missing/not collected pets. When I look at the map, it still shows the icon for pets as if I had not collected them. For example, I have collected a lvl 1 Rare quality Stormwind Rat. When I look at the map of Stormwind, the icons are still there for that specific pet. Any idea what could be the cause of that?

Thank you !

*Edit*

Just for kicks I located and captured a new Stormwind Rat. It happened to be grey quality. Now the map correctly makes the icons disappear. I checked other locations as well vs my collection and they are showing/not showing icons properly also. So I have no idea whats happening.
