WowAce

Hi I just updated all my addons, so I got the newest version of Bartender4 today on 3/7/2026. My actionbars don't work. The game is registering the button click, but it's not doing anything.

Mouseover casting doesn't work for me with Bartender4 installed. Works without it just fine.

Using Bartender4-4.17.3zip (released 1/19/26). The one thing I wanted to report is the status bars are not sync'ed with the game. The bars are showing roughly about 20% less XP and rep than what I have. For instance, I have 20.23% level completed, yet the status bar only shows about 1.6 bars (disabling BT, the default Blizz bar shows a solid 2 bars). BT Rep bar is showing similar shortages.

I just wanted to report an issue I’ve been running into. I keep getting this error:

“Bartender4 has been blocked from an action only available to the Blizzard UI. You can disable this addon and reload the UI.”

Bartender4 is honestly my favorite addon — I’ve been using it for years and can’t imagine playing without it. That’s why I wanted to bring this up. The error keeps popping up pretty consistently.

Would really appreciate it if you could look into this when you get a chance. Thanks so much for all the work you do on this addon!

Is Bartender working for anyone else playing retail. It's broken for me. I keep looking every day for an update, but seems like it's possibly abandoned.

Make a macro with:

/script ToggleBag(KEYRING_CONTAINER)

That will open your keyring

Can't use my bag for the keys, addon not showing it.

i don't know if it's because of bartender or not but sometimes i get this bug where i can't use anything on my hotbars and i have to die or relog to fix it, this never happened before midnight

In reply to WolfyTheAbyssHound: turns out it was bartender and moveany not working well together, no idea what specifically caused it but with moveany turned off it hasn't happened since

Playing TBC, how do I get my keyring to displace? It's not in the options

In reply to Tofer138: this - I thought I was going insane because I couldn't find any posts or comments on google of people mentioning the fact that the keyring is gone. Kinda a problem for TBC Anniversary...

I'm really missing Bartender. I'm using Dominoes instead, but I feel Bartender is a much better addon.

i get like perma lua errors from bartender any fixxes ?

Bartender completely broken today from this update.

Could we get a feature where we can export our configuration, so that we can either share it with others, or import it on a 2nd account to save us having to set everything up again.

100% of the time when I'm in a Mythic + and try to type in chat I get an error. "Bartender4 has been blocked from an action only available to the Blizzard UI. You can disable this addon and reload the UI." It gives me the options to disable or ignore. When I disable Bartender I can type in chat again. 

Update: It was The addon "Misspelled - Chat Spellchecker" when enabled at the same time as bartender4 it would cause the conflict. 

In reply to Reesecupthis: I don't have that Misspelled installed but get the same notification every time I log into the game

Same - I hope this will be resolved soon - thanks for all your hard work!
