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.

Love Bartender! Hope to see it updated with the new patch about to drop! Cheers
It's a blizz problem. Addons breaking on every patch is at least a decade ago, yet they still change the compatiblity version every time. I think the last time a patch broke bartender for me was BFA prepatch.
currently on curseforge is listed 10.1.0, but the current patch on retail is 10.1.7. when are you going to update to the current patch?
Why Bartender which is a mega popular addons takes so long to get at least an alpha version for every new phase on Wotlk Classic ?
Was having issues on Wrath PTR I think due to the new LFG causing interference - here is how to fix (worked for me anyway)
Go to Bartender4 folder, load up MicroMenu.lua, go down to lines 64-66 (starts with "if WoWClassic then"), and either comment out these three lines (with --) or delete them, then save.
In reply to Godmatik: Excellent, thank you! Sometimes UI errors still pop up but seem to be safely dismissed and most functionality remains. Hopefully the author will update soon.
Is there a way to show the action bars when you open the Spell Book like normal blizzard ui does?
Currently doesn't work with WoW Classic HC version.
Does not work in classic
Why is the August release for retail 10.1.0 instead of the current game version of 10.1.5?
The status tracking bar is a bit broken. The colored portion of the bar doesn't match the border and overlay dividers any longer. Hard to describe, so here's a picture: https://imgur.com/a/R2A8qZq
Any chance of a fix for this?
In reply to itsraevenne: You are not alone, I'm having the same problem (retail), hope it gets fixed.
Does anyone know why my micro menu tends to go into a faded state without having fade enabled for that bar? It looks like the bar is disabled until I mouse-over the icons and I'm able to click to open adventure guide, etc.
I've noticed this since 10.1.5 went live, mostly in old raids, although I haven't paid attention to that in keys or current raid tiers.
EDIT: I just did a 3+ hour raid in Aberrus (both normal and a few bosses on heroic) and the micromenu bar stayed visible like it should be. So, I have no idea why it was happening when I was soloing Siege of Orgrimmar and Throne of Thunder on several alts.
I love BT4, but I'm having trouble switching profiles on WotLK. On my shaman, "Enable spec profiles" works like a charm, I switch to my primary/secondary talents and the bars immediately adjust. On my mage, however, I can't switch the profile.
1. Go to BT4 settings -> Profiles. Create a new profile called "Mage1". "Current profile" shows "Mage1"
2. Set up the bars.
3. Go to BT4 settings -> Profiles. Create a new profile called "Mage2". "Current profile" shows "Mage2"
4. Set up the bars.
5. Go to BT4 settings -> Profiles. Using "Existing Profiles", select "Mage1". Current profile" shows "Mage1". Bars are exactly the same as in "Mage2"
What am I doing wrong?
Hello ! It does not work on the classic Era Hardcore servers
On Wrath Classic:
is there a way to prevent accidental clicking of abilities when rearranging them on bars when "Toggle Actions on Key Press instead of release" is enabled?
On retail, you can simple shift-click the abilities to move them without activating the ability but onwrath classic every time you click and drag the ability or item it uses it. It makes rearranging action bars while on a flying mount impossible and very annoying to move things like consumables.
Note, I do not want to disable "Toggle Actions on Key Press instead of release", it's a good setting to keep enabled, I'm just wondering if theres a way to rearrange bars without accidentally clicking abilities when it is enabled
Hi-First thanks so much for Bartender, I love it. Since the latest patch or upgrade, when switching between specs, alot of my spells go missing. No matter how many times I re-add them, they disappear when switching specs. Can you please update Bartender to the latest version to correct this. I did talk to blizzard and they said it was the addon causing the issue. Thanks, so much!
yo man so since 10.1.5 there is a bug where bartender stops showing the extra action bar on the boss in neltharus the last boss. and i just bricked a 26 key because i coudlnt press my extra action bar. im so f'n pissed off right now like we had the key in the bag and i literally couldnt click my extra action because its not showing . so im not sure what happened in the last patch but if we could fix that would be awesome man like the whole group depended on me pressing that button to take the shield off the boss and i couldnt press it because it wasnt showing and after i did a reload it showed. this is actually the 2nd or third time it happened so its for sure a bug
There is no way to modify the stance/shapeshift bar?
For anyone trying to fix the Micro Menu having trouble clicking buttons or getting Fade Out settings to work here is a fix I've done without having to wait for the Author to do so temporarily:
- Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft\_retail_\Interface\AddOns\Bartender4
- Locate a file named MicroMenu.lua
- Open the file in Notepad
- Press CTRL+F
- Select "Down" as the Direction
- Type "elseif WoW10" without quotations
- Click "Find Next"
- There will be a string of some code that look like this this below:
MicroMenuBar.button_width = 32
MicroMenuBar.button_height = 38
MicroMenuBar.vpad_offset = 0
- Edit the numbers in your notepad to the ones I have posted above
- Press CTRL+S to save the file and close it
You can now use the Micro Menu without issues, enjoy.
