Hi, my name is Missy Guice, and I am reporting what I think might be a bug. The current problem that I am facing with Blender is that upon purchasing an addon from the Blender market website, I attempted to download the addon, but when I tried to view it in the Addons tab in the Blender software, it was not showing up at all after downloading. Is there a slight possibility that the latest blender update ( version 4.2) no longer accepts paid add-ons from the blender market? Please email me back at your earliest convenience.
System Information
Operating system:
Graphics card:
Blender Version
Broken: (example: 3.0.0, main,
f1cca3055776
, 2020-12-30)Worked: (newest version of Blender that worked as expected)
Short description of error
Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Based on the default startup or an attached .blend file (as simple as possible).
Usually it should work nontheless, except any newer api changes are not supported by the addon (then reach out to the addon creator).
For installing addons in blender 4.2 refer to below listed resources:
See #124924 and https://docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/editors/preferences/addons.html#prefs-extensions-install-legacy-addon
In short: preferences > addons > expand button > install from disk > select the downloaded addon file (usually zip) > install > activate
what is api
so i tried to reinstall the addon but how do I activate it
please email me back at your earliest convience
This is a bug-tracker and not a support-help-desk. For further questions on how to use blender refer to other forums like https://blender.stackexchange.com/ or https://www.reddit.com/r/blenderhelp/.
API = "An API (Application Programming Interface) is a set of rules and protocols that allows different software applications to communicate with each other." (~ ChatGPT, Jul 2024)
Add-Ons use it to access blender.

Anyways here some expalanations, formulated and illustrated for intended usage by DAUs and PEBKACs, on how to install an (legacy) add-on; happy installing:

or.py
downloaded addon file:Install from Disk
:hey cedric so i got an email from (Alaska) asking what add on specifically I got but I when tired to reply it said the sent email was blocked. i I did everything from downloading the addon, going to preferences, went to the addon tab, installed from disk, and finally went to the search to look for the add on but it was not there. im not sure if the addon file type was changed from zip to something so I tried to reconvert it back to a zip file, and followed the same steps but still nothing happened. the add-on in question is from the website Blender Market. The add-on is called Combine, and it was made by Studioromanrec.
Yeh, he probably deleted his answer, saw it too. And e-mail reply is not supported up to my knowledge, just inside this forum.
Did blender print a message like
Modules Installed (addon_name) from 'path_to_zip.zip' into 'C:\\Users\\user_name\\AppData\\Roaming\\Blender Foundation\\Blender\\4.2\\scripts\\addons'?
Or did you get any error message? If so, post it here.If you look into the folder
C:\Users\<insert_your_username_here>\AppData\Roaming\Blender Foundation\Blender\4.2\scripts\addons
via file explorer (you're on windows, right?), is there any subfolder with the addons name? If yes, then it probably got installed correctly.What exactly to you mean by that? In the add-ons tab in the preferences? In the UI of the viewport?
hmmm...weird.
https://blendermarket.com/products/combine shop page states, that blender 4.2 is supported, along many other versions.
Could you maybe post the folder and file hierarchy of the addon? Also, what happens if you try to install it in blender 4.1? Does it work there?
Hope we can get you up and running soon :)
hey there just wanted to let guys know that I got the issue with the addon from blender market fixed
Great to hear. What fixed the issue for you or what exactly was the problem in the first place?
im not really sure all i did was to try to contact the creator of the add on about what you guys told me about the API thing, then I got the new file that worked the very next day, I just hope that the other addons from him will also work when I am ready to get them. overall, I am still learning how to use blender and all that and trying figure the addons that will help improve the overall speed of my workflow. these addons overall help a lot.
Thanks, closing this report since those add-on needs an update here.
