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.

Posted Jul 26, 2024Is 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.

Posted Jul 25, 2024WoW 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.

Thanks for the heads up. Found this elsewhere too - tested it and it works for my druid.
I am experiencing a problem with this addon where it resets my action buttons every time I log into the game. This forces me to reconfigure my buttons each time I log in. I am currently playing as a Druid.
Found solution in Blizzard bug report by Unatural. Apparently it's a Blizz issue.
Workaround: Do your buttons. Open Talent Tree. Create "New Load Out." Exit or log out. Log back in and it's still there.

Posted Jul 24, 2024In 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?

Posted Jul 24, 2024I 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.

Posted Jul 24, 2024In 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.

Posted Jul 21, 2024What 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.

Posted Jul 22, 2024In 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.

Posted Jul 27, 2024In reply to azymyrta:
Thank you so much for this breakdown! Do we have any idea what the extra bars would be for this macro?
For instance: Stance Bar, Extra Action Bar? I've tried 16, 17, 20 etc and no luck
Any and all help on this would be really appreciated!

All I can tell offhand is that 'possess', 'dragon', and 11 trigger special logic in bartender. Warrior stances, druid forms, rogue stealth, etc. in the non-bartender UI use the four class bars. The extra action button and bar (which you cannot drop arbitrary spells on in the default UI) are not action bars and are not selectable in using state logic.

Ahhh dang, thank you so much for your time!
I've been trying to create a macro I can keybind that hides every bartender element so I can use a weakaura UI instead but still easily toggle the bartender UI on and off at will, it's surprisingly harder to figure out than I anticipated haha

The status (XP/rep) bar does not obey scaling correctly. It only works at its default size. This is a very long-standing issue.

Posted Jun 28, 2024Currently, 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?

Additionally, the professions button (which replaced the old spellbook button) is also missing. Blizzard probably renamed the buttons.

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.
