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.

Getting a LUA error this morning after rolling restarts (March 10, 2015), which seems weird...
Anyone else?
Yes, I saw this on my druid this morning. Very bothersome, happens after every time I loot an object or close some other frame on the screen. If this is happening on my main, it will likely mean no raiding until it's fixed...
Since the update (6.1) when I mouse over an ability, the tooltip doesn't show up anymore, just the name of the spell.
Is this a bug or did I click something I didn't know?
( I have Button Tool Tip Enabled )
Do you have "Enhanced Tooltips" enabled in the settings? It's under Interface -> Help.
Sorry if this have been asked before.
This new flightpoint-abort button that came with 6.1 doesn't seem to show up anywhere in Bartender. Am I missing a setting, or is it something that may be implemented at some point?
EDIT: I found out what was wrong. My Vehicle Bar was nowhere to be found. Fixed now. :)
it should be where your "vehicle" dismount is, that is where mine shows. Find someone with a mount that they can give you a ride with... it should be in the same spot.
Is anyone else having issues regarding using quest/vehicule items with Bartender? I didn't have any problems until I updated the addon. When I use my usual keybinding for Bartender, it won't let me use items when it switches to a vehicule ui or whatever you call it. But it's selective over which ones I can and cannot use. For example, I can do the cannon and ring toss at the DMF. However, I have to mouse click the action button when playing the shooting game or doing quests (like when you have to bomb things in Hellfire Pen). Is there some simple solution here that I'm just being stupid and overlooking, or has anyone else been having the same issues?
Really helpful answer there..
@warderbrad: You need to untick "Use Blizzard vehicle UI" under the general bar settings tab. I know it wasn't at all obvious to me either.
I posted this to the WowAce forums but I thought it a good idea to post here too.
I have recently returned to playing WOW and found that when I turn off the blizard art that the black bar behind it remains. Is there another setting I need to change to remove that?
Wow you are seriously dumb. CHECK THE ADDON SETTINGS!
I am having this problem; and it also stretches the flamethrower counter in the Everbloom crystal area.
Same issue here and sometimes it happens in raids. Super annoying and makes the game unplayable. Seems to be no ryhme or reason to when it happens.
The Darkmoon Faire score counters for the tonk game, shooting game, and whack-a-gnoll game are now in the dead center of the screen in 6.1. I know it's Bartender doing this because if I disable it, the score counter moves to the bottom. Also, the ring counter for the turtle ring toss game are now incredibly stretched and covers almost the entire screen for whatever reason.
(Sometimes the issue fixes itself and the counter is not in the middle, but more often than not it is. The turtle ring toss counter only started doing its weird thing yesterday for me, but the score counter isue started on the first day of DMF in 6.1.)
EDIT: So during this DMF I've just been disabling Bartender when I do the dailies so the counter isn't blocking the screen. However, when I did that today, it didn't help. The counter was still in the center and the turtle ring counter was still stretched beyond belief. So I guess maybe Bartender isn't causing this after all. But it DID help for the rest of this week until today so I don't know.
I can't even see the score counter button or figure out what it is called to see if it's in a bad position:(
My microbar which was on the right side has moved to the buttom center. If I unlock this bar in the buttom center is not clickable . Any suggestions?
Edit: Nevermind... found the culprit
OK well this time I left everything the same, WTF folder and all, and disabled out of date addons which was only masque and omen.
This has fixed the problem
All of my bars disappeared as well. I deleted healbot and recount and it works now normal. Not sure which it was that was effing it up
Having the same problem since updating. UI loads fine, I use LUI which has been updated, but BT4 bars wont load and when going to /bt4 all the bars are empty so I can't make any changes.
Have tried deleting folder and WTF with no avail. Anyone else found some other fix?
Can anyone please tell me what the "Bar Snapping" function does? At first I thought it was so I had to >shift + click< spells to move them away from the actionbar... but that I remembered that's "Button Lock"... so what exactly does it do?
(btw it would be nice if you made it so you can move the "garrison spell" aswell, since it's kind of annoying I have to place it in a actionbar to remove it, or else it would stay infront of my action bars.... (or i'll have to relocate my actionbars)
The bar snapping will "snap" bars snug together so they fit together nicely. I personally turn mine off so I can situate my bars exactly how I want them to look. If you turn off bar snapping that will make it to where you can put your bars anywhere distance-wise to each other.
