FAQ
Q: I cannot move/drag my skills on my bars?
A: Hold Shift to move skills safely. You can also unlock your bars in the Bartender4 options, but using Shift is safer and recommended.
Q: How do i access the Configuration?
A: You can open the configuration with the Slash Commands (/bt or /bartender) or through the Bartender4 LDB plugin.
Q: Where are my keybindings? And how do i bind new keys?
A: Bartender4 buttons should automatically inherit keybindings from the Blizzard bars. For new keybindings, you can use KeyBound to re-bind your keys. You can access KeyBound by its slash command (/kb) or through the button in the BT4 config. Hover a button, press key → voila!
Q: Can I skin the buttons beyond the built-in options?
A: Bartender4 allows skinning through Masque! After installing both Bartender4 and Masque, you can customize the BT4 appearance in the Masque options.
Q: How do i disable the snapping of the bars?
A: Currently, you can temporarily override the snapping by holding down the Shift Key while moving your bars, or uncheck the option in the popup when your bars are unlocked.

Posted Dec 7, 2025I have a set of three buttons that are changing... on the same day, same character, different log-in - sometimes "/click BT4Button23 LeftButton 1" works, then I see it does not work and /fstack tells me the button changed and "/click BT4Button71 LeftButton 1" works instead. 22 is sometimes 70, 23 is sometimes 71, and 24 is sometimes 72. I cannot find any external cause for why.

Posted Dec 7, 2025Would a 'conditionals' Guru help me set my bars so that when out of combat they are fade visibility 0 (invisible) and when entering combat go to fade 25% aiming to clean up my screen and hiding items - currently have them set to hide when not in combat but makes adding items to my bars a pain

Posted Dec 3, 2025I'm not sure if this has been reported, but I noticed that the "Queue Status" no longer appears when BT is enabled. With BT disabled, it appears next to the Micro Menu/Bags. It looks like in Edit Mode you can move the status icon around, but when queued, it doesn't display (as long as BT is enabled).

Posted Dec 2, 2025When placing/editing housing decor, unable to use keybinds if they overlap with a keybind on the action bar. E.g. cannot use R to remove an item if R is bound to an item on bartender action bar (but it's possible to bind R to both a regular keybind and a housing keybind).

Posted Dec 2, 2025The House icon isn't in the Micro Menu. (I don't know if this is something that I have to enable in BT4, or if it just wasn't added yet.)
