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.

How do i disable the flyout of spells to the actionbar? If i learn a new spell, it automatically goes to the actionbar. I want this disabled somehow. And i can't find an option for it either.
If there is no such option, and this is not due to me overlooking something. Please add such an option.
Best Regards!
On some of my characters, the Rep Xp bar just randomly stopped showing. Ive tried unchecking the rep, logging out and back in and rechecking, still wont show.
I'm having this same issue on a few characters. A quick glance and it seems to be my characters tracking Draenor rep.
Further testing, it seems that on characters who have gotten their class weapon in Legion, the rep bar is replaced by an "Artifact Power" bar. At least that's what I see when I disable Bartender; I can't get the rep bar to show up in Bliz's UI either.
I know theres been an issue with the artifact bar that bartender4 tries to use.
- I've had to use moveanything to move the Artifact bar, resize, and control it
- my main actually currently has both the rep bar & Artifact bar.
- Its more my alts that do not have a rep bar. But I've found on some of my characters if i turn on the rep bar before copying a characters profile that has the rep bar working, it keeps the rep bar. But the ones that already have the rep bar 'broke' no matter if i reset/delete the profile and recopy it. It still wont enable/work.
I have an issue; whenever I am mounted into a vehicle or quest event that has it's own action bar/takes over bar 1, when I dismount or the event is over, none of my keybinds work on bar 1, and I have to either click the icon abilities or /reload to get the keybinds to work again.
Since questing has multiple occasions of having it's own abilities, I quite frequently have to /reload. It even happened during PVP as the Cannon driver, which is not a good time to lose use of my main keybinds.
Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
I'm having this issue as well - any vehicle I man that has its own bar doesn't seem to be tied to BT at all and I can't keybind to the bar. Haven't tried /reloading yet tho so hopefully that works for me too!
What I did try doing was manning a gun (the legion quest where you shoot the bats out of the sky) and then tried running /bt - but the vehicle action bar doesn't seem to respond to or be tied to anything I can affect in BT - tried unlocking the frames or doing the mouse-over binding but nada.
Is there a way i can show a bar when a window is open but hidden otherwise? Ive dug all over the internet and seems like no one has attempted it. Essentially i want to show my bar when my Tradeskill window is open that way i can different things like milling and DE to the bar and only have them when i need them. i hate the extra clutter by keeping things open all the time thought that might be a good solution. any one have any idea pointer or thoughts?
how can i show the button red,when it our of range , and not only the Keybind?
The extra action button doesn't seem to be working. A few addons that are supposed to alter the placement or use of the extra action button seem to also be having similar issues and none have been able to address it which leads me to believe that this is something Blizzard has fiddled with and can no longer be modified with 3rd party addons.
I quest and raid as a holy Paladin but I need (want) my bars set up differently for each. Is there anyway to trigger an A/B set up for bartender kind of like the switching it does for spec to spec?
My keybindings to the bar are not saved for individual profiles, only the bar appearance. Is there a way to save keybindings to profiles or is this something that needs to be fixed?
I have this same exact issue and was wondering if there was something I could do to keep the individual key binds as well. Hopefully we can get a reply as this would be a real nice feature to have.
My rep bar is available but not showing up. This is new since i updated last night.
Try this:
/bt
rep bar > visibility > uncheck "Fade Out" > uncheck "Always Hide"
under positioning you can also reset the position and unlock/move it to where you want it
I've also noticed heavy lag, frame rate drops, and dis-connects(got a not enough memory error message). Disabling all addons fixed this problem. Addons I was using DBM, recount, sexymap, bartender, and gathermate.
Edit: Problem came back after deleting all addons. I remembered that there was a Windows update on my pc. Reverted pc back to an earlier state and everything stabilized.
Can this addon prevent new instances from loading? I have a problem with it since 7.0.3 and I solve it by turning off all my addons.
I have reproducable stutters on broken isles, mainly highmountain and now also suramar, when bartender4 is active. Had this during some time of WoD too, then it was gone. Anyone else notice this?
Hi, I got a problem when using Masque together with Bartender4. The bag bar always has remaining default blizz border (all except the main backpack icon), no matter which Masque module I use. Could you please remove it ?
Also, could you add an option to move the count text on the bagbar, along with its scale ? (:
In legion, when wielding an artifact weapon while below max level the reputation bar refuses to show up. I figured this may be a bug and I should let you know.
