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 Aug 11, 2026@MabusGaming Won't fix the 2nd error with the single-button-assist, you'd have to update LibActionButton-1.0

Posted Aug 11, 2026Bartender is currently not working for me after the new patch - I'm getting a Lua error with an awful noise (as someone described, like a machine gun) as it counts. I can't close the error without disabling the add on completely.
Getting the message : "Interface/AddOns/Blizzard_ActionBar/Shared/ActionButton.lua:1887: attempt to call a nil value"
Does anyone know a way around this without disabling? - Hopefully the Bartender team can address this issue asap <3

Posted Aug 11, 2026@kiralee_x As suggested by another user, I just removed the single-button-assist button from one of my bars, and it resolved the issue.. Thankfully, I only use it when mindlessly questing, so it's an easy resolve to just remove it.

Posted Aug 11, 2026@kiralee_x Can confirm, the Single Button assistant makes the error appear. Fortunately, I don't actually use it on my main, but I had it on a bar

Posted Aug 11, 2026If your chat is being spammed about UI errors, turn off any fading you have on your bars, at least until it is fix.

Posted Aug 11, 2026@user_455cu9nkt95a75dm I used fading for out of combat, once i turned it off my error stopped, so I don't know what else might be going on, i also did a reload after turning off the fading. Hope it gets fixed soon, good luck!

Posted Aug 11, 2026It took me a minute to find because the unchecked Button Grid option was hiding that bar, so if anyone has invisible bars that aren't supposed to be check that setting.

Posted Aug 11, 2026@user_455cu9nkt95a75dm Only way I have found to even play the game without getting the nasty lua popup is disabling this addon. Which then makes a bar mess of my screen. Don't know if it sounds like a machine gun or not, but the lua count is basically a free spinning ticker when I bring the /console scriptErrors 1 screen up.
