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.

Any idea when the fix for 'expandable' spells like the hunter pet, portal, teleport, summon demon tabs, etc will be fixed? it's annoying to have to go back into my spell book and use them

I've noticed the quantity numbers in the icons are all smaller, even though the icons are all the same size as before (I've checked).

Is this a bartender thing, or do I have another addon doing that (that's no longer working)?

Or could it be a Blizzard design decision of the new UI, where the numbers now take a smaller percentage of the icons?

Blizzard changed the relative size of the text elements, as they increased the size of buttons.

The next version of Bartender4 will adjust the default size of the text elements as well as add options for your to control them.

After I've been logged on for a while, I'm not able to right-click anything in my inventory, such as a hearthstone or invis pot without the error: "Bartender4 has been blocked from an action only available to the Blizzard UI."

Reloading is a temporary fix, but if I'm in a dungeon no one wants to wait around for the tank to reload for 30 seconds before an invis.

I'm running bug grabber / bugsack, but not getting any specific lua errors that I can provide here. I do not run any inventory-management addons.

Any suggestions?

Spell flyouts are working fine with the default UI, only when I enable Bartender do they break.

They are broken with all action bar addons, because the way Blizzard changed them is impossible for addons to use them. Hopefully they'll fix it.

Wow, came here for this same reason as well. This is extremely frustrating. Do you recommend submitting a bug ticket to Blizzard?

Post this in the issues portion of BT here: https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/bartender4/issues/1980

Looks like a Blizz UI issue. They chimed in with a response :)

First of all, I love your mod ! I have a question though : how feasible would it be to split the XP and reputation bar as individual elements ? Currently they are stacked together as the "status bar" IIRC. For instance, I would love to place the XP bar at the screen bottom and track reputation near my side bars. Is this anywhere possible regarding how Blizzard refactored the UI ?

Any chance of an option to scale the talking head? I used to use dominos and that used to have a talking head selection and i had it scaled down to 75%.

You can also try BeQuiet addon, it will completely get rid of talking head if you prefer that! Can be very handy specially in dungeons/raids.

Bartender does not currently touch the talking head, and with the new Edit Mode it might also be troublesome, but I'll keep it in mind if Edit Mode allows us more access at some point without breaking all the things.

Is there an option to not show honor bar as exp bar in BGs or at least limit the exp bar to only track one thing at a time so it doesn't show 2 bars in bgs
