I actually get LUA errors although all my frames (player, target & target´s target) are doing fine. I figured out that all errors (14 overall) only appear on my mainchar, a druid, when i shapeshift into the several forms. This extends to the selfheals from Leader of the Pack or Frenzied Regeneration.

First LUA error:

Still experiencing issues with target frame producing LUA errors.  Upon logging in, I am presented with a similar LUA error to those below.  The fix is to change the target frame's default text size to anything but what it is currently set to.  I normall have the default size at 100 percent, and changing it to 99, or 99.5, or anything else makes to LUA go away and the frame appear.  So my login experience upon a fresh playing of WoW consists of:

Login, target something, LUA error, open Pitbull, change target frame's default text size to anything I want, problem disappears.

I can change toons and the problem does not persist, however, if I completely leave the game and then restart WoW, the problem reappears.

I'm having the exact same issue as Napayshni. Upon login my player frame is solid green. /reload does not fix the issue, relogging does not fix the issue. Casting a heal spell does seem to fix it half way, where everything is in the right place but there is no text. AFTER casting a heal spell I need to /reload to get the text to appear. After all of that I can go without any firther issues.

I've been experiencing similar problems to a lot of posters, where my frames aren't showing up properly. My player frame is a solid-colored block with no portrait, no text, no cast bar, nothing. My target doesn't appear at all. (If I hover over where my target frame should be, it highlights the invisible frame but all I see is the highlight overlay.)

If I heal myself it'll "refresh" the frame or something and everything will reappear as it's supposed to after a few casts. (The first time my portrait and mana bar appear, and the target/targetoftarget frames appear again. It takes a few more casts to get text to show up on my player frame.) If I'm not on a healer though, I don't know how to fix the bars and make them appear and/or display properly.

Unlike everyone else, the "fixes" don't work for me. I tried changing the font sizes (100% to 95%) and all that does is make another lua error appear on my screen. I tried the "just /reload after you first log in" that a few people have said worked for them, and nothing: still a blank character bar and no target bar.

When I log in, I get 27 LUA errors so I'm not sure which one to post... I can post all of them if you want. They all say PitBull4 or FrameXML in them. Here are the first two. If I target someone/something, I get another three errors, one of which is counting constantly with tons of errors every second. (50-70+ ish per second, and if I deselect my target it stops counting immediately.)

Is there a reason why i cannot inspect players when i right click on the unit frame? is a limitation of the addon or am i doing something wrong? thanks

I get the exact same error - but after a "/reload ui" its all fine

The unit frames are not working. My portrait/and text on it isn't showing up :/ I dont want to create another one because it goes blank after logging out. 

This is an error that came up when I logged in today.

Seems as though changing the font size, which was previously 95% for my target frame, to 100% produces no LUA errors now and results in proper target frames upon connecting now.

Seems to be working fine except for when I click on a target, then I receive this LUA error and have no target frame:

Logged back in after a rolling restart, and for some reason my WoW exploded with terrible FPS and 2k Pitbull errors, and no Party frames. Before this, it had at least been playable... Not sure why this particular relog made it worse.

Doing /reload the first time didn't fix it, but reloading a second and third time eventually got it back to normal playable FPS. No idea why.

For anyone having this problem, I just noticed that if you type "/reload" when you load into the game, it reloads the UI and the panel is fixed!

Seems that first load it explodes, then a reload it's fine.  No idea why!

That didn't work still have the blank health and mana bars for self and target. :(

Yep i had the problem too. When i loaded my character after a logout or when i just entered the game, i had to reload my UI before it was all fine again.

- Would be awesome with a fix :)

Greetings

I am also getting this issue.  Target, ToT, Focus, FT are all fine - just player panel is screwed.

I am also getting this issue.  Target, ToT, Focus, FT are all fine - just player panel is screwed.

I can vouch for this. Only seems to affect the player panel. Logged into my mage and went Frost and summoned my water elemental and the water elemental text worked fine as well. Changing the default LuaText font fixes the issue for that particular log-in. The bug only appears if you exit the game and log back in.

I had actually noticed this during PTR testing but given that it was PTR and it was working fine on live, I thought it was just an issue with the ptr servers themselves and wouldn't affect 5.4 when it went live. I guess I was a bit too optimistic.

I did get the alpha5.4 and i did tern off all the other addons but pitbull4 it did not help. but when i tern off and on the player frame it shows the text. same with  the party frames shows unknown name. i have not got the error box to  show up atm.
