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.

Thanks Hi there
I've been using bartender since forever and one thing has always bugged me...
Could you add a way to be able to put Bars BEHIND the Blizzard Art Bar? It always bugs me that the nice gryphon or lion heads are hidden behind the xp bar, which is also bleeding colour slightly.
Like maybe a setting to choose what you want in the foreground and what in the background?
Thanks for all the hard work so far
In reply to Forge_User_20581519:
I'll see what I can do, but the problem is of course that some parts of the Blizzard Art are definitely meant to be "background", while others like the lions might look better in the foreground. Will have to see how seperate those textures really are.
There a little issue with the micro menu displaying on 2 or more row in the classic version .
In reply to Thaldan87:
The problem is that Blizzard for some bizzare reason actually makes the icons in that size, even if there isn't anything there. But I'll see what I can do.
Is it possible to disable auto self casting in Classic?
Not sure if is Bartender fault or something else but when I press my key combination for some spell like Renew, it will always self cast if no target or no friendly unit is targeted.
I would like to not have this, I want to 'activate' the spell and then click on the character / nameplate / party interface to cast it and then use the same way to self cast or with a modifier.
I had the impression this was possible on retail but not sure (long time since last time I played)
Thanks
In reply to flep_gg:
Ignore this. I thought that with Bartender I didn't had to mess with the Blizzard self-casting config, turns out its controlled by it and I had auto self-casting checked xD
Did recent update fix the disappearing main bar issues? Trying to figure out whether to restart using Bartender instead of Dominos.
Thanks!
I'm not too hip on lua files. But in order to change colors, add, etc it needs to look like this.....this is a XML file code.
I am looking for in the lua the place that the colours are set for the status tracking bar but cant find it.
I want to change the azerite tracking bar to a light blue.
a couple of questions... is this for classic or 8.4.7 (BFA)? Also, mine seems buggy, i can't seem to bet /bt or /bartender4 to work and i don't have a button connected with my minimap... this is the only addon i have loaded. :)
In reply to mojoturner:
I'm having the same issue, playing on a Mac here.
In reply to mojoturner:
Same problem here. The commands (/bartender and /bt) don't work. I am on PC. I can see the bartender bars in green, I can move them, but I can't do anything else (remove Wow art bart, resize, etc.). Long story short, I can't access the config menu. Is it really a Classic version ?
In reply to mojoturner:
Same problem... trying to use it on Classic and it just isn't working. Got it fixed?
In reply to mojoturner:
I'm having the same issue
Hi i cant find this anywhere so ill try and see if anyone can help me with my problem.
So i have my bar 3 and my bar 4 on bartender4 addon visible only when im hovering over them but i cant find a way or any command on how to make both my bar 3 and 4 visible when im hovering over only bar 3 or only bar 4. Its getting kinda annoying to see only one of them visible and i would like to find a way to get them both visible when im hovering over only one of the bars. :)
Bug report, using Bartender 4-4.1.2
Fresh install. Just got back into WoW. Bar 1 only flipping to Bar 2. Not to any of the other bars.
Tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Deleted the entire addons folder and did a fresh install. No dice. It just won't work.
I love Bartender. It has been my go-to for many years, but I feel like I'm gonna have to try something else if I can't get this fixed.
In reply to onijitsu:
4.1.2 is years and years out of date. Whatever you are doing, you are probably doing it wrong.
i came back to the game after a 4-6 months break. first think i did ofcourse is to update all my addons, updating my bartender tho has completely ruined it for me, i get no bars at all! i can only see the zone ability bar and the micro menu one. theres no toher bars that i can see and they re not on the options /settings either. i disabled masque in case that was a problem that i saw some other guy had and theres still no bars!
Can we please get a way to hide the art around the Extra Action Bar!!!!
