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 Apr 9, 2016Any ideas as to why this addon would be making it so I can't use my in game equipment manager? Because it isn't working with Bartender, but my Skada is fine. Any thoughts would be appreciated, thanks.

Posted Mar 27, 2016I used bartender years ago when I played so immediately downloaded again....
but every time I log out it resets my bars like Yazzule below. They all reset back. I love the flexibility and being able to move bars, but I can't handle having to reset my layout every single time.Ok, read some threads on the wow forums and tried a bunch of different stuff. Ended up deleting my WTF folder and now everything is working. Also seems some issues with peoples account names getting changed in the WTF file causing issue, but mine seemed to be just general corruption. Luckily I had just started playing again, so had very minimum add on's and work into configuring them.-

Posted Feb 7, 2016Hi, where are the bartender4 settings stored in Win7? Things like action bar layout and spell position?
I had an unrelated interface glitch - couldn't interact with bags, buttons or external objects. I had disabled all addons and progressively enabled again, problem not solved, so I deleted cache, wtf and interface files (after renaming the originals to *old), which seemed to fix my problem. But I was back to Blizzard action bar interface on all alts, all realms.
Updated to latest version of bartender4, no change. (Except probably to overwrite the options file, wherever it is).
I've looked in everything under c:\users\username, and can't find anything for bartender4. WTF backup contains nothing either.
Any suggestions?
I've tried joining wowace to contact the developer that way, but can't post yet. In the meantime I'm dying here, I can't function without bartener4! Awesome addon

Posted Mar 6, 2016I know this is an old post, but, the Bartender saved positions and whatnot are in the "WTF\Account\ACCOUNTNAME (or number)\SavedVariables\Bartender4.lua".

Posted Feb 2, 2016Great Addon, pretty much a must have for someone trying to max their performance. However, the bindings not being visible is KILLING ME. Please fix this.

Posted Mar 20, 2016If bindings are not showing, then your bindings are not actually applied to Bartender4 buttons, but probably still on the default blizzard buttons. I would suggest to re-bind.

Posted Jan 25, 2016Easy setup:
I found a solution that I think might be helpful to some people. If you already have things keybound and don't want to mess with rebinding and simply want this addon (like I did) to be able to have your cooldowns in a convenient place to see, then from the setup menu do this. Go to a bar that is inactive and enable it. Click on the icon next to your map that lets you place your bars where you want them. Then in the menu you can change the bar layout, mine is 4 columns x 3 rows. Position it where you want, lock the placement, save and close your menu, then drag and drop your spells into those places. Voila! Done.
One thing this addon makes difficult is that the only numbers/symbols from the Blizzard bars that stay visible are 1 thru =. Everything else disappears. So for me, like my side bars had some Alt + 1, 2, etc. keybinds, that's all gone. Maybe there's a way to make them all visible again, but man does that make it difficult to rebind key positions on the fly. Sorry this was a lot to read...

Posted Jan 15, 2016I have a problem with bar visibility. When I toggle disappearance option at the Visibility tab, that bar just goes invisible right away according to it tranceparency level (which duplicates the tranceparency option in the Main parameters tab). But if for example I choose the Hide in combat option while I have Visibility tab toggled on and set the tranceparency I need when I enter combat it just hides completely.
I use Russian version of the client, 6.2.3 (20886); Bartender4 4.6.12

Posted Dec 12, 2015Bar 7 copies what Bar 1 has on it on one of my characters. Is it a setting I'm missing? Only is happeing on 1 character. When I put an action on Bar 1 it also appears on Bar7 and vice versa. Doesn't want to let me use the bars independently.

Posted Dec 11, 2015I am trying to get auto-assist casting to work with Bartender4 but for some reason it isn't working.
Just to make sure, auto-assist casting in BT4 makes it so if I target the tank, I should be able to cast offensive spells to the tank's target while i'm targeting the tank correct?
If this is correct am I doing something wrong here?
I have ElvUI but I enabled the bars that I would want auto-assist casting and hide them but it won't let me cast offensive spells, it says invalid target
http://imgur.com/a/UDiJz This is what I did to enable it.
