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.

Is there a way to force bars into a shared or a group show/hide/mouseover state? I used to hide my action bars all of the time (in an addon not be named that is no longer being updated for DF) showing them only in a mouseover state. I'd like for the group of bars to show up upon mousing over any of the grouped bars, not just the individual bar I'm mousing over. Is this possible in Bartender, or would you consider adding this feature?
Can we fix the Malygos EoE buttons not working at all in WOTLK classic. It's really frustrating having to click the abilities.
In reply to Rammster1:
Make sure you actually have your keybindings on Bar 1, and Bar 1 is setup to handle vehicles/possessing. Those are the keybindings its going to copy to the vehicle bar.
Or you can disable the Vehicle UI, which should also work. As long as your main bar is setup to handle vehicles/possessing.
Hi, ur lasted version -> Crash Macro mouseover in frame raid !
Question for anyone. Updating my BM talents, included Binding Shot and when I applied changes, the binding shot icon landed on one of my bars but all of my other 8 bars' icons, completely full and configured with hotkeys, completely disappeared with only binding shot remaining.... I've tinkered and absolutely cannot see anything to fix it... my other toons on this account are fine. Any thoughts?? Edit: Bars are still all configured the way I had them but all of the icons disappeared.
Another bug with latest version - voiced dialogue windows (when NPC is talking, and a pop up appears on your screen) seem to be BELOW bartender hotbars. So you cant read them if they appear near your hotbars.
In reply to ThirteenEra:
That is now a window you can move in Edit Mode - it's named Talking Head. It's not specifically Bartender's fault that it starts out behind bars - this even happens if you have a fully default UI.
In reply to JasperKazai:
I see, thanks!
When trying to right click on player name in chat -> Copy Character Name I am getting "Bartender4 has been blocked from an action only available to the Blizzard UI. You can disable this addon and reload the UI." The name is not copied. This is really annoying especially if I need to copy names with special characters.
Class Hunter:
Unfortunately i have a bug, when i try to use the buttons to call the pet or to heal the pet it does not work. its not possible to open the scrolling bar.
before the last update it was possible.
here the report of bug grapper:

Bug with latest version (4.13.0) - Extra Action Button keeps resetting position. When you set it to new position it remembers it until it dissapears, when it reappears again it will be reset to default position once more. Persists across multiple characters, profiles etc.
Had this happen specifically with grapple on Eye of Jailor (LFR in case it matters), as well as Masquerade (when entering Suramar)
In reply to ThirteenEra:
The extra action button will be fixed in the next version.
Is it possible to Change the appearance of the "Status Tracking Bar" ?I can resize it and such but its currently the Blizzard Default Bar and it looks out of place in my UI. Thanks in advance.
Edit: I was able to find an addon to chance the appearance of the bar, but Im curious if its possible to have the status bar share the same screen space as a reputation bar as well, an example would be like in "dominos" where you could just click the bar and it would cycle between experiance, rep, status and so on rather then the bars just stack on one another.
Trying to call Pets as Hunter gives this:

In reply to thedarknes1a:
This is a known issue caused by a change Blizzard made. Unfortunately, its currently impossible to fix the Flyout buttons, until Blizzard fixes them.
Cannot move abilities by holding shift and the call pet ability does not function on the bars only from the spell book. So now I have to place pets on my bars if I want to use them
Hey there, is it possible to add, when you put the bar together (sticky) to have shared fade out option. So when you mouse over on one the others that are faded show up too together!
In reply to Castalia_SL:
Linking bar fadeout has been a long-term request, but not done as of yet. I might see how complex it is to do that.
In reply to nevcairiel:
That would be amazing <3
Before the patch, actionbars were essentially just blank icons. But 10.0 added borders and rounded corners to the actionbar icons. It would be awesome if Bartender had the option to remove these borders and return to "just icons". Basically just like an icon-wa is just an icon without any zoom,resize,border or any other fuss or skinning.
