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.

Not sure where/what pagination is. I've tried looking through the preferences of Bartender, but even the enable/disable check box seems to do nothing, other than give me an error popup.
I'm still not seeing my bars. They aren't faded/transparent. They just aren't showing up. Yes I have the latest update.
Hi there, long time user of your addon here!
Love and appreciate all the work you do so I am sorry to bring this bug to light for you!
The scenario: I have setup my "Ox" stance to be bar 1, my "Serpent" to be bar 1 and my "Crane" to be bar 9. This all works fine. The two bar 1 settings dont conflict because the bars change when I change spec ofcourse.
The problem: However, I can change specs as many times as I like, once I have this set up, and it works perfect. But if I /reload or enter a loading screen, the pagination on Mistweaver no longer works. "Crane" and "Serpent" just use the same bar and I have to go back into the options (which still says "Crane" should use bar 9) click the dropdown, select bar 9 and then it resumes paging properly.
This is a new stance for mistweavers so maybe there is some problem here with that, care to advise?
TL;DR: Pagination for the new stance "Stance of the Spirited Crane" works but doesn't save between loadstates.
great... Thanks : )
Somehow the stance ar on my hunter doesn't show up since last Patch. In the config the stance bar is grayed out. Any hints or bideas ?
Hunters don't have stances now. Check your spell book.
Just started back to WoW again the other day with the dropping of Patch 6.0.2. Upon logging in I noticed that the micro menu seemed a little off from where I left it months ago. I originally thought it was due to my monitor changing. I did a little more research and I realized that there is a button missing on it. The computer on the bottom of the bar is gone. I looked in the configuration for Bartender and noticed that the max amount of rows could only be 12. It used to be 13 (either that or Blizzard added a new button while I was away from game). Either way it is something that might want to be looked into having fixed when time permits. For me its not something majorly big but I know other might find it very inconvient not having all the buttons there :) Just thought I would let you know. Thanks for a great addon :D
Your settings should transfer automatically. They're saved in the World of Warcraft\WTF\Account\<Account Name>\SavedVariables\Bartender4.lua file. As long as you don't mess with that, you should be fine.
I had gotten bartender4 maybe 2 months ago and with the new update to 6.0 needed to redownload it. Is there a way to transfer my settings?
I have now got Bartender working on new update. But every time Curse notifies me I download Bartender update with "nolib" in title it stops working. Any ideas
For some reason when i download it then add it to my interface folder, it does not show up under my addons when I get on my log on screen. I have a mac desktop, not sure if that is the issue.
Hi, I'm still having the problem with the faded bars. Even with 0% opacity they still show the cooldown of my spells.
also happening to me. shadowy gcd flashes everywhere, and shadowy pie pieces on longer cd items.
same
"me to'ing this post - I'd come here to mention the same problem.
Hi Nevcairiel!!!
So the issue that I'm having is that whenever I switch specs, the bar that I have enabled for paging always defaults to the wrong page...I have page 7 and page 8 setup for specific Stances, and whenever I switch specs, I have to go in and disable/re-enable the paging.
No error message that I can see, but that's the experience. Thank you for supporting this addon, it is awesome! I'm sure you'r aware of this but I figured I would let you know.
Best,
Serrated
HI
i have been a Sparten (which uses BT4) user for many years. recently i created 2 new characters in WoW to level. the bars #7 & 9 both autmatically load the spells that the toons get. this does not happen with the other toons i have. if i remove them i lose them from bar 1. on my other toons i have my mounts, toys etc.in these bars.
the other issue right now is that when i log in i have to load my profile manually to get all my bars back and set up the way i want them. this is especially annoying as when you enter a dungeon it reset the ui and i have to quickly manuall reset it again. the new version of BT 4 does not save the settings and i had to load my settings from the previous versions onto a new profile i created for each toon. even then wehn i log in i have to load that profile manually to get my configuratin for each toon.
BT4 is also not saving my configuratins and not enabling all the bars when i log on and there is an issue where it willnot permanently show varios buttons, like the map , tracker and other buttons. they may or may not show up and then ghost out, moving constantly as you try to click them. like a game of cat and mouse LOL
i would appreciate some input and or direction on what could be done or if there is a fix coming.
thank you
This.
Each relog my profile is resetting to default. How do i sort this issue? plz help :(
With lock button option flagged the spells are moveable seems somthing buggy i think.
