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.

Hello, I have a problem to keep the display of the bags icons? Is there a Bartender command to display on and off these bags icons please ? Thank you
Is there any way to disable bartenders bar 4 and 5, but keep the blizzard bar 4 and 5 showing, as the objective tracker/boss frames/arena frames/vehicle seat/durability etc are nicely linked to them and i like how that works with them resizing each other.
I tried turning off bar 4 and 5 in bartender but the blizz bar 4 and 5 dont show up.
WoW Retail - logged into my main, 70 Druid. All of my buttons on all my Action bars, etc were cleared. Wiped clean so to speak.
I have since tried several times to reset all my buttons as I had them on each action bar. Get it working just fine.
Until I log out. As soon as I log back in - All my action bars are wiped clear again.
/reload doesn't wipe them out, but logging out and back in does and only on the one character. I've tried resetting the profile as well.
In reply to curomac: I posted the same thing on my monk. I thought my profile was corrupted. Strangely, it only happens on my WW monk spec. BM monk spec abilities do not clear.
In reply to curomac: FYI!, this is not a Bartender issue. This is Blizzard bug that's being reported.
In WoW Retail, whenever I add abilities to my actions bars, they disappear after I log out. Strangely, it only happens to my monk char. Others are fine. I have reinstalled Bartender 4, but still the same. Before I completely delete my settings and addons, is there any know issues like this?
I have Bartender enabled, and I turn it on when creating a new character in Remix. I place the abilities in the bars, but they are never saved to the bars. Whenever I log out and log back in, the bars are empty. Unsure what to do.
In reply to ryulinho: I have the same problem on Retail. For some reason, it only happens on my Monk. Other chars are fine. My monk was the first char that I logged on after the Prepatch so not sure if related.
What is the name to use in macros of bar 6? (or all bars for that matter).
Using this macro:
/run local function t(n) Bartender4.Bar.barregistry[n]:SetVisibilityOption("always",not Bartender4.Bar.barregistry[n]:GetVisibilityOption("always")) end t("1") t("2") t("3") t("4") t("5") t("6")
It only hides bars up to and including 5, but not 6. In fstack I can see that the button numbers suddenly jump into the hundreds for bar 6 onwards, but I cannot figure out the name to use for bar 6...
[EDIT] nevermind, seems it's done on page number instead. So 6 = 13
And for some reason, with the bonus bar activated, 2 becomes 6.
Probably some good reason for that, but hey - it works for me now.
In reply to Pandoraoh:
This is blizzard's fault. Bars have a numbering in the UI, but also an internal ID, and these two do not match.
Up to a few years ago bartender only used the internal ID, so bar 3 in the bartender UI would also be bar 3 in bar macros, scripts, and bar selection conditionals.
With the introduction of edit mode blizzard started numbering bars, in a different order than the internal numbering, and bartender has adapted to follow suit. This means bar 2 in the blizzard UI will become bar 2 in the bartender UI if you install bartender, but the numbering in conditionals and scriptlets will not match up.
These are the names used in the bartender source, with internal IDs on the left:
11 and 12 are not named in this part of the code and I cannot find them offhand. I think 11 is the totem bar (can only hold shaman totems) and 12 is the dragonflying bar, but it may be the other way around.
is the status tracking bar not working properly in retail? im getting some weird clipping
In reply to ccpoppin1:
The status (XP/rep) bar does not obey scaling correctly. It only works at its default size. This is a very long-standing issue.
To adjust (reduce under 574) the width in Bartender4 will break the Status/XP bar, it will simply protruding.
This Bug still was since Dragonflight not fixed ....
Currently, in State Configuration, it is possible to set custom conditionals to set the active bar page.
It is also possible to modify smart target selection, but only using the two default checkboxes.
Could you add an option to enter custom conditionals for target selection as well?
In Beta, the spellbook and talents button is missing from the Micro Menu.
In reply to cursedgarbage:
Additionally, the professions button (which replaced the old spellbook button) is also missing. Blizzard probably renamed the buttons.
In reply to azymyrta:
Thinking on this further - Does bartender need to manage the micro menu and bag bar at all anymore? Like the extra action bar, a lot of the functionality bartender used to offer here is now baseline in edit mode.
In reply to azymyrta: for me, yes because the default MicroMenu settings can't make the buttons small enough compared to Bartender, there is also more spacing between the buttons in the default editor (I believe the smallest being 1 spacing) and I use .5/.75 spacing to make them as close as possible
In reply to cursedgarbage: Blizzard renamed the buttons,
Talent button was removed
Spellbook button got changed from SpellbookMicroButton to PlayerSpellsMicroButton
new Profession button added ProfessionMicroButton
in Micromenu.lua
Change lines 26 & 27 from
"SpellbookMicroButton",
"TalentMicroButton",
to
"ProfessionMicroButton",
"PlayerSpellsMicroButton",
tested and works for me
How do I get the encounter bar on retail? I cant find it anywhere
