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.

I tried to find a debug for it, but alas no success. If I could stand how the original layout of blizzards interface looked this wouldnt be driving me so nuts.
This is a blizzard problem not a bartender one, I don't have any issues with bartender for this but basicchatmods is the culprit for me, I have to reload. Author confirmed it's a blizzard issue, nothing an addon author can do about it.
I have keybound the "extra action bar button 1" with WoW regular keybindings, now the key appears constantly on the extra button.
Could you add a "hide hotkey" option for this bar please ?
Please make vanish bar seperate from dance bar every rogue will love you if can choose witch one u want to use Vanish/dance/stealth makin the rogue chooose witch bar they want to use for each stance
I got a trouble with the reputation bar, when I enable it, it gets frozen and dosent move even if I get reputation of that faction, to see my current status with that reputation I must disable it and then re-enable it (but it gets frozen again); I want to know if its something I did or something else
Thnx for this great addon.
is it possible to save key bindings when we use Dual profile? Because everytime i change the spec i have to re-bind the keys. ty
does not reload ui works?
Can you please fix the problem with glyphs and talents. This add on is blocking the change and needs to be turned off when u want to change them
I'd really love an option for 'Show/Hide all bars'. I disable visibility on all my bars, but when I want to rearrange spells or keybinds I need to go to each one and enable visibility for all 6 bars, then do the reverse when I'm done.
Having that option would turn ~25 clicks into 2.
i play molten wow cataclyism and everytime i try and use bartender i get about 30 errors
this addon blocks glyph&talent changing (asks to disable bartender4 and then try again)
can u fix it finally ? thx
One minor flaw I do see with Bartender. Is its alignment code for druids. In that it assumes especially for me (because I have the tree glyph) .. that I have 6 stances in total. Which I do in Resto. Though only 5 in Guardian. However, the centering code offsets the stance bar when swapping to Guardian. Would love a fix that would not assume Guardian has 6 stances. So that the bar centers properly. Thank you.
Hello,
Used to use Dominos up until a few days ago. Biggest reason for the swap. Is that Bartender plays nicer with other add-ons (ex. LunarSphere). Dominos current code forcibly blocks LS from its functions (ex bars). While Bartender does not. I am a huge believer that a add-on should not interfer with other add-ons. And the way Dominos is currently coded it plays very aggressive in how it hides stuff. So its nice to have an add-on that does what it needs to. While not interfering with the functionality of another add-on.
Some questions though:
* Dominos had a cast bar frame, does Bartender?
* Right click cast set to "none" in Dominos did just that. Right click cast set to "none" in Bartender, seems to still heal the target and not self. I do use Clique. Though, Dominos and Clique seemed to never clash in this way. Is this possibly whats happening with Bartender, a clash? (will have to check as well)
* A silly cosmetic thought. Dominos allowed gloss to be applied to empty buttons. Seems Bartender does not gloss over empty buttons. Can it be made to do so? Not a huge deal just sort of like the glossy look.
Use LunarSphere along with Bartender for all of that. I have used LS for the longest as my "everything else thats needed, but doesn't need to be all over" add-on.
I use 6 LS pop-out action bars.
1 - professions/skills
2 - food/drink/bandage
3 - buffs
4 - character pets (mostly for demo lock and shammy)
5 - pots/flasks
6 - mounts/hearth
I love this add on, but the amount of bars a person can put on there screen is overwhelming. What I would love too see is a tabbed bar, like the stance bar so you can switch your action bars too food, mounts, spells etc type thing lol so instead on 6 bars all over the screen, I can have them all layered in one spot and tabbed.
Hello there!
I have some questions about using and understanding this addon...
What is Extra Action Bar and Vechicle Bar bars? I mean... I didnt saw any bars in that places by Blizzard default interface like Bartender draws without changing settings... If I'll turn it off will I turn off something useful?
Is it possible to fix Bartender so it doesn't try to prevent you from changing talents and glyphs pretty much all the time?
That's not actually a Bartender bug at all, it's a bug with Blizzard's UI. Many times, when you try to change glyphs (and talents now) since they changed the glyph frame at like... the beginning of Cata or something... you'll instead get an error blaming a random addon tainting the frame (which almost nothing does). I believe I've read the problem even happens with no addons, but presumably it doesn't blame an addon in that case. Just do /reloadui and you'll be able to change whatever you need.
No, actually this is apparently an easy fix.
Sometimes reloading your UI constantly is detrimental - it slows down raids because people wait on you to reload your UI two to three times to change both a talent and a glyph, if you're running a lootsystem via EPGP it will flush out standby lists every time. It's basically just a headache.
Please see http://www.wowace.com/announcements/5-0-4-glyph-ui-taint/ for more details.
The micro menu disappears when I go into pet battles. I've tried all the options I can think of, including "Use Blizzard Vehicle UI" and I made sure none of the hide options were checked under Micro Menu.
