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.

With the bar paging, is there a way to lock the bar into the one being paged? ie, if i pushed shift to switch my bar 1 to bar 7, i would like for it to stay at bar 7, if this is possible how do i do this? its kinda annoying having to hold down shift for a long period of time when wanting to use my other bar
Hey, I think I may have found a bug?
There seams to be a issue with some moves canceling glow effects early. This appears to not be working correctly in BT but will work with the default wow UI.
I am using WeakAuras to make a button glow in BT when I have over 80 fury on a demon hunter. However some moves like Throw Glaive will cause the glow to end on cast. Chaos Nova will do this also.
is there any way to rearrange the buttons on the stance bar?
Been looking but is there an option to hide global cooldowns?
got an issue with bagbar on all chars, one bag seems to sit on the backpack showing only 4 bags, cannot seem to reset it and make it stay, the bagbar shows 5 slots but only 4 are useable. any ideas.
may be i'm missing something I cant put the fishing icon into the extra bar. outher than that its a great add on
are we going to get a version that defaults demon hunter metamorphosis state changes? How do I do it manually if this is going to take a while?
Is there a way to make certain bars universal? If I change my utility bar (mounts, hearths etc.) I have to change it for all of my specs.
Having an issue with the Vehicle Button (dismount) not showing up no matter what the settings are for it. Having issues with Key Binds not sticking between Specs. And a couple of Wishes of Whimsy- If only I could bind the buttons on my Logitech Gaming Mouse... Yes, I know my G5 can do this, but I'd love to have the ability to mod them in a less "permanent" way.
I also use MoveAnything for 2 items: Draenor Ability and to move the stupid cast bar. Would love to free up some memory hog...
I've used BT4 since BC. Thanks for always being here. I know it takes some time to work out all the kinks.
I've tried all three versions of Bartender that have been released since the Legion prepatch and all of them are preventing MoveAnything from working ONLY if I'm playing a demon hunter.
Is there any way to have different keybindings for each profile? If i change my keybindings in holy they change for my ret spec as well. super annoying.
no change in Mists of Pandaria .what do i do ?
No matter where I looked or asked I couldn't find a way to enable a visible grid like with the default and extra bar action bars. Having just invisible space where a button can be -REALLY- bothers me, and I would love to figure out how to do this. If
A transparent outline of the bars shows the second you start to drag an ability onto the screen.
Having an annoying issue with the casting bar, when I'm fishing, mining, summoning mount there's a casting bar that overlaps my spells and can't move. I've asked around and people tells me to download another addon, am I not seeing the option to move it or there's no chance to move it with BT4?
I seem to have a problem with the XP bar. It works, for a while, but then stops. Begins working again after /reload. Noticed it when I was 5 bars away from level 85 and dinged to 85 with still 5 bars away.
Bartender4 currently has a problem with corruptions involving keybinding. I went to the project site and saw a ticket that explained that it was a blizzard side problem with the API GetKeyBind () function (or a function named something like that), so I decided to just grit my teeth and wait it out. Bartender was my crutch, been using it for almost as long as playing WOW, and I started back in Vanilla days. Then I had a guild-mate suggest I try Domino as a temporary patch. I was sure it would not work because its a Blizz side problem, not a BT4 problem. Lo and behold, it works great with no corruptions. So I am curious for someone to explain to me how Domino can seem to handle the keybinds without corruption but BT4 cannot. Makes me wonder if its not a Blizz side problem. If BT4 gets fixed, I'll come back to it, as I completely familiar with all its aspects and uses, but until then Domino seems to get the job done.
im having this exact problem.
So was I. I took transitbus's advice in the comments on that ticket and changed all instances of
category="Bartender4 "
in Bindings.xml to
category="BINDING_HEADER_Bartender4"
and it fixed it.
I'm not sure if this is an issue caused by bartender, but I logged onto my warrior today to find all the skills on my bars 7-9 where missing, and had to re-add them manually.
I made a bug report thread on the wow forums here: http://us.battle.net/forums/en/wow/topic/20747955385 but a number of posters suggested I let you know too in case this was caused by bartender.
