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.

Posted Sep 26, 2025Is anyone else having an issue with BT4 and GSE where every time you zone into or out of adungeon, or go from mounted to dismounted, or from a form (druid/shaman) to another form or no form, you have to /reload before your GSE action bar overrides will work again? This just started happening when I switched to BT4 from CTMod. Just curious if it's a BT4 thing or a GSE thing or a combination of the two.

Posted Sep 24, 2025Any chance of having a way to export/share profiles. This would be awesome. At the moment one needs to do some creating editing of settings files if wanting the same layout across multiple accounts =)

Posted Sep 24, 2025everytime i log off, two of my bars get moved to somewhere in the middle of the screen. if i try to move them, the green box shows it in the correct spot, despite the buttons not being in the right spot. if i then uncheck enable, and recheck enable, it moves the bar to the correct spot. i have to do this every time my console reloads/log on. any ideas?

Posted Sep 23, 2025Since the update today I'm getting a real bad stutter everytime I shapeshift on my druid. Thought it was wow at first but narrowed it down to Bartender causing it. No idea what might cause it but would be much appreciated if you could look into it.
Edit: This is happening on MoP Classic. Haven't checked to see if it happens on Retail

Posted Sep 23, 2025Since CTMod is apparently abandoned I am thinking about trying this out. Does this do similar stuff, aside from just the bars that is?

Posted Sep 5, 2025I love BarTender4 and have been using it for years (been playing WoW for 20). Is it possible to send my current (or saved) BT4 profile to a friend to use? He's just starting out and want to give him a headstart.
Thanks a ton for a great addon!
