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.

um
i downloaded it, extracted it, copied it into my wow interface/addon folder. but, whenever i log into it, bartender isnt on my addons. wtf??? help! what did i do wrong?
Been using BT as of forever and love it!
However, I noticed something's not right with hiding certain bars while mounted. I'd like one bar to show out-of-combat, in-combat but not when mounted/vehicle. This option ticked for this bar does not seem to have the expected effect. For now I chose to go with "hide without pet" but the former would be preferred.
Anyone else having this or am I missing something?
i probably messed here somethig but its possible to temporairly disable "cast on key down not up" option when holding shift to try move buttons around? atm its start casting something and i have button in drag and drop
mine isn't working either. Did you manage to sort yours out? if so, how?
Thanks :)
is anybody having issues with the right click self cast function? i cant seem to get it to work
after hours of reading on the web im going here for help im wondering is there a way to have a bar only show in bg or arena and if not can i show/hide one on keybind?
merry christmas all
im by far no expert in bt4 but it sounds like a mix of state configuration and bar pageing set to enable in combat or something like that
weird and annoying bug (I think)
In a nutshell, mid combat, action bar 1 decided it wanted to be exactly the same as action bar 3. After combat though when I go to replace the buttons on 1 it starts removing them from 3 and replacing them with the ones im trying put on 1. Most annoying as the only way i've been able to solve it is to disable action bar 3 and enable another so I can have the right buttons on each.
Anyone got any ideas how I might fix this?
I am not able to use the hourglass bar. it is there but I can not click on it. anyone else running BT having this issue?
Well Curse Client itself updated today. Now they say there is an update of Bartender v4.4.20-2-g04cabae. I was just wondering what that was becauase when I look at this page. You last update was on Nov 29th
still spamms as hell those combat lockdown errors
Hi!
Usually when logged in 3 of the guild perks are missing from bars: Mobile Bank, Mass Summon and Mass Resurrection.
I need to switch to second spec and back in order to see them.
Can you please fix this strange behaviour?
Thank you,
Goldshire
Bartender4 seems to be incompatibel with the latest Masque-Api to handle old ButtonFacade-Skins, so assigned skins won't be properly loaded
Would be nice if you could fix that, eg Raven has fixed that from r227 to r228, i'll post the edited code afaic

Also having this issue, please advise! Thanks.
it's for two encounters in dragon soul, nothing else so far.
Tx for the answer
ok been wondering about this for a while and havent been able to figure it out, when i unlock bt and in the menu i have an ekstra action bar but cant use it for anything what is it for?
Hi, my Micro Meny isn't working correctly. When i press the Bartender icon on my mini map (the different bares turn green so I can move them) the Micro Menu is green. I've set it to the bottom right, but the buttons for the Micro Menu is on the bottom centre. You have any idea why it is like that? Could really need some help. I can't move the buttons or anything like that.
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,
Zoheret
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?
