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.

As much as I love this addon, and as long as I've had it installed (a few years now), I am very disappointed with the lack of response to all the issues users have raised. The issues go beyond the pet bar and the unability to dismount from the Faire sandbox tigers.
I understand the complexities of real life. I understand there is a lot to do and little time each day, but at least one response from the dev would have gone a long way with us. With that being said, I am downloading Dominos. :(
Take care,

I like this addon. I prefer the features and functionality of bartender over similar addons, and after resisting customizing this portion of the default UI for five+ years, now I can't imagine playing without bartender. I'm not a clicker; I just like seeing everything there in front of me.
I too am plagued with vehicle bar problems but I have been since my first install and have just been "living with it," since the friend who recommended the addon walked me through the install, I set it up the same way, and he doesn't have the issues I do. Go figure.
I have problems notably with the Hyjal quest chains, where I just pretty much disable the addon from right before I do the cube quest until after I fight the big demon. I always squirmed out of jumping on the back of Magmaw because I was worried I would wipe the raid. I couldn't get out of Thanksgiving chairs. And every now and then I'll find something that kills me or fails a quest and I'll have to start over, where others don't have a problem.
Due to the Ultraxion encounter I got a keen workaround, finally, even though it was apparently on wowhead for a year or so -- and this does work on the darkmoon faire dailies -- the /Click SpecialActionButton 1 will get you through most every daily, you can live without speed boost on tonks. I just put it where my 1 action button is and go on my merry way.
But ideally I would like to get it so that it is working as intended through all the cata quests where it should be working and I can't help but wonder if I installed it or configured it incorrectly somehow, by using too many bars or doing something "special" to my first bar that I shouldn't have. Also, I used all 10 button bars on screen to see them all at once. I didn't use any macros or other advanced functionality.
Whenever the game does successfully mount me into a vehicle, it always leaves my first action bar in place even though the buttons are really not 'usable.'
Any ideas?
for some reason my keybindings between 2 of my toons are the same. whenever i change them on one, they change exactly the same on the other. It wasn't like this like 2 weeks ago, and i can't make it stop. Anyone know what I have to do to make it stop? All the rest of my toons seem fine, it's just these 2.
In the settings it even says it's their own profile, but its the keybindings it guess that is the problem, not the setup of the bars, so i don't know if that is even a problem with this mod or not?
forget the exact wording, but when you hit "key bindings" make sure on the window that pops up that "character only" (forget exact) bindings are selected.
Just make a "jump off" button macro, I use it all the time for for example bike rides:
/script VehicleExit()
FYI I think you can press number 5 on your number pad (not above your keys) to dismount a vehicle - took me 20+ minutes to figure this out at the darkmoon faire zzz. Might not work for all if you have rebound, but I think that is the default binding. Hope it helps!
Same issue here. I've died by thirst and hunger while riding a sandbox tiger at the fair...
My issue is I cant get out of a motorcycle if I'm in it or get off of the little rides by the sandbox in Darkmoon fair. I've tried /leave vehicle and it doesn't work. i have to log out and back in to get off the stupid thing or the driver of the cycle has to dismount to kick me out of the cycle.
I'm having same issue....getting on vehicles that require the dismount button to get off of them and not having the dismount button. I actually used Addon Control Panel to disable bartender, reloaded UI, and dismounted, then re enabled bartender to get off of the sandbox tiger I was on when I first got the issue.
I cant get my buttons to lock down. I have the option checked in both BT and BlizzUI. Am I missing something or is there a workaround for this? If anyone could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated! Its a fresh install of everything on a new system.
Thanks
I am having a problem with my pet bar now. While growl and other pet skills seem to be operating as intended (little lights around the edges of the button to show its on), my pets stance buttons (defensive, passive, and assist) do not light up nor does the attack, follow, move or stay.
I guess I should mention, the buttons are working as intended, there are just no indicators so that I can tell which is active.
I too am experiencing vehicle bar problems and need to log out - disable Bartender - log back in and then log out - enable Bartender - and log back in. Very frustrating. To add insult to injury I cannot use the number pad on Blizzards vehicle bar so it is very hard to use the mouse to move and then try to use the mouse to click on the trigger.
I've tried the work around:
-delete the Bartender folder from the Addons folder.
-in the WTF/Account/<NAME>/SavedVariables folder, copy the Bartender4 and Bartender4.lua.bak files somewhere else (as a backup) and then delete them from the SavedVariables folder.
-extract the Bartender4 download. copy paste it to the Addons folder.
That did not solve the problem.
I see others posting the same problem, but I don't see any solutions. Please help!
Runaroundsue
My problem is also with Vehicle bars, they don't work at all for darkmoon fair and I also nearly killed our raid last night running ICC when I got bitten on blood queen and couldn't bite anyone else.
other than that I love this addon, it's just a pain to have to disable it everytime I go into anything that requires a vehicle bar.
Jesus is it possible to get some news about the keyboard recognition ???? I start with compliments but now I just become angry like you don't give a shit with our problems
Yes I have a Mac should I just buy a new PC just for you or what ??
Ungrateful much?
This guy puts alot of effort into his addon, he does this in his free time.
Hes got more important things to do then take care of your problems when all you do is be a little bitch about it.
Complain about how you have to adjust for him, yet you demand things yourself.
Here too.. got a problem with Darkmoon fairie Vehicle bar! It's not working at all. Have to logout disable bartender4 from addons and relog. Then logout and enable :( Hope it fix soon!
Some results for #4109?
The 6 - ^ - problem?
Thanks
p.s. Language and system checked
My addon data was wiped and I had to start over. Before, my skill icon/button would turn red if the target was out of range of that skill. Now, only the hotkey (the tiny number in the corner of the button) turns red. Much less visible.
I can't find the option to make the whole button turn red again. Have I missed it somewhere?
Ok this may be a bad question, but I cannot find my guild tab on the micro menu? sure there is a simple fix or something im not seeing, ive already tried looking at posts, so any tips?
im having problems with the vehicle bar aswell. im not getting it at all for the dark moon faire stuff.
