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 see a bunch of users reporting issue with "Extra Action Button" not being able to be moved or not working as intended. The actual root cause of this is that Blizz introduced a new button (rather reused and renamed a button from Draenor) on top of that. You now have ExtraActionButton and ZoneAbilityFrame that sit right on top of each other. One is a button for questing (suramar disguise) and the other for class hall follow ability.
I have submitted code to the mod author to have this updated, but in the meantime- any brave souls who know what they are doing can access my proposed changes at https://www.wowace.com/addons/bartender4/tickets/1277-zone-ability-frame-enhancement/
Support is limited and the code change only supports English language, but if not having control of them buttons drives you crazy, this might work for you. :)
Firstly the greyed out button issue is a blizz issue not this addon... Secondly I cannot get my extra action bar to be movable.. help plz.
---EDIT---
okay so i left the world quest area and thought i'd try unlocking buttons to see if i had some how magically fixed it. I didn't update or anything but i guess being OUT of the questing area where the button is required assured me access to moving that item. So i moved it.
So if you get stuck with the Extra Action Bar button... leave the area (where nothing would use the button) and then move it.
Having said that i hope this is only a temporary problem, because I like to have full control, in case something like this happens again. ;)
The Extra Action Bar button is actually two buttons, one for zone items and one from your class hall. They can overlap and cause issues.
I have submitted code to the author that would provide the ability to move both buttons. I hope they will add it to the mod.
I am not sure who has access to download it, but here is the link to the ticket with zip file. Note- this is a mod to an addon so support is limited.

Buttons grayed for unknown reason.
Hunters buttons are bugged. its a bliz problem.
Thank you for commenting, I wasn't sure if it was an addon issue or a Blizzard UI issue on my hunter.
I deleted the WTF, Interface and Cache folders. Reinstalled the addon and set everything up and the buttons gray out and stay grayed out as soon as I catch a flight. It is annoying enough that I am thinking of dumping the addon till it gets fixed. I cannot tell when abilities are off CD so I have to guess.
I also have this problem. Buttons are grayed out most of the time. Sometimes they show up then they disappear again. /reload ui doesn't help. Played a dungeon without buttons showing up was quite a challenge ;...
But great addon cannot play without it!!
new Info: it seems that it hasn't anything to do with the addon. It is a general problem with the ui but it only affects hunters ... since patch 7.1 !? strange
new Info: it has something to do with pets going to stealth - if you disable stealth and relogin the buttons work again - crazy ;)
Hunter buttons are bugged, its a blizz problem.
Is there any way to move the extra action button..its dead center of my screen and aggravating me..lol
Exactly same issue here.
I fixed it.. well its not fix fixed... but i left the area where the extra action bar came up and unlocked it and it let me move it. so go somewhere that doesn't need that button. should help.
The Extra Action Button is now Showing up. I have tried everything to get it to show. if I go to the move bar option it shows it there but it wil not open then I am in a place that requires the button. any help please.
Leave the area where it shows up, and then unlock your bars and then move it. If its being used by something (garrison, world quest etc) it won't be movable.
Spent 40 mins setting up my bars with the new version, seemed to work fine.All set up correctly. Then when i went back to try and change something an hour later i got an error when i clicked on the minimap button and no menu appeared and cant move any of the bars :(. I reinstlled the addon and did it all again and same thing happened again.

PS keep up the good work with this amazing addon :)
Updated to latest version today, all my bars scaling have reset have had to manually go in and change them back.
its ideal to reset your whole interface after each major patch by deleteing the WTF, Cache and Interface folders, not just update them :)
Keep updating it, but WoW keeps saying Addon is out of date. Tried reinstalling and then installing, still not working. Curse you 7.1!
