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.

Hello there!
I have some questions about using and understanding this addon...
What is Extra Action Bar and Vechicle Bar bars? I mean... I didnt saw any bars in that places by Blizzard default interface like Bartender draws without changing settings... If I'll turn it off will I turn off something useful?
Is it possible to fix Bartender so it doesn't try to prevent you from changing talents and glyphs pretty much all the time?
No, actually this is apparently an easy fix.
Sometimes reloading your UI constantly is detrimental - it slows down raids because people wait on you to reload your UI two to three times to change both a talent and a glyph, if you're running a lootsystem via EPGP it will flush out standby lists every time. It's basically just a headache.
Please see http://www.wowace.com/announcements/5-0-4-glyph-ui-taint/ for more details.
That's not actually a Bartender bug at all, it's a bug with Blizzard's UI. Many times, when you try to change glyphs (and talents now) since they changed the glyph frame at like... the beginning of Cata or something... you'll instead get an error blaming a random addon tainting the frame (which almost nothing does). I believe I've read the problem even happens with no addons, but presumably it doesn't blame an addon in that case. Just do /reloadui and you'll be able to change whatever you need.
The micro menu disappears when I go into pet battles. I've tried all the options I can think of, including "Use Blizzard Vehicle UI" and I made sure none of the hide options were checked under Micro Menu.
So apparently reloading your UI while in the arena preparation area will clear your bars off all spells and buttons on your bars, but when you get out they're all back like nothing happened... This has cost me 2 arenas.
You could try typing /bartender. Bringing that up, click "lock" then "unlock". Not sure this will work for Bartender. Though I've had issues with Shadowed Unit Frames and Dominos doing this. And just doing that for them worked. So maybe it'll do the same for Bartender.
The WowAce forum won't let me log in, so I have to post here. Keybindings aren't sticking between logins. It's only doing this on bars 2 and 3 (I only have keybindings on bars 1-3 anyway). I can change them, and they're fine for that session, but if I log out or change characters, those 2 bars reset.
My focus cast modifier seems to be messed up because of Bartender. I've tried so many variations of settings to resolve the issue to no avail. I have to make macros for everything I want to focus cast now.
I wondered if it posible to move the bar that shows how hatred you are in Shadopan monestry, or how petrified you are at the stoneguardians, or how long you have survived between the panda's and the fireworks (GL daily).
It's always at the place where i have my pet's healthbar and i rather move something thats only shown temporairly than my permanent hp-bars.
There is a bar for your bags and the default is '1 bag'. You have to uncheck the box for all bags to show up. Not sure why this is default. I would prefer to have all bags show with a box to check if you only want 1 bag.
my bags are not showing up. the only bag on my toon that shows up is the backpack and it is out side of it's box. all bags are still there because they open when i go to a mail box but no icons to open them on there own.
I found sometimes I have to redrag the spells from my spell book now, since 5.0.4. Not sure why. I think it must have something to do with the 'flydown' or auto-learn function that is implemented now in the game.
Hello, I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong but I'm using bartender 4 with lui and forteXorcist. However since the last update none of my spells show a tooltip. I've tried using just bartender to see if it was lui or forteXorcist but its not them. The weird thing is items and such from my bags and professions work just not the actual spells from the spellbook. Any help on how to fix this if its an error on my part would be greatly appreciated. Keep up the good work on this addon I really love it except for the occasional bug lol.
Hi,
I may be doing something wrong but I cannot get the totem bar working on my Shaman. If I unlock I can move it around and whatnot but I cannot drag any totems onto it, it just can't be accessed.
When i'm not on my Shaman and the option changes to stance bar, that works fine on my DK, Druid, Monk & Warrior. It might not be related, but they show up wherever I move my totem bar to.
I've uploaded a couple of screenshots. The first - http://i.imgur.com/4NCnb.jpg - Shows where I have placed the totem bar (To the right of the chat). The second - http://i.imgur.com/HihNm.jpg - shows me trying to drag a totem onto where it should be.
As I said this may just be me being daft, but any help appreciated.
You could simply just get the addon control panel addon...let's you turn on and off addons ingame without logging off all the time
I'm seeing similar issues. Reloading so that Bartender is not the default layout? Not really an option when you are in a dungeon and all your keybindings are now on the Blizzard default UI. I haven't used that in years.
On my Warlock it keeps saying that Bartender has blocked me from changing out my glyphs. Performing "/console reloadui" corrects the issue for a few minutes, but I need to do this or logout/login every time I want to swap them out. Any ideas?
Hello,
Stone Guard engery bar - anyway to move it from the default bliz location which my bartender layout covers?
Thanks for your help
Any word on an update? This has become unusable on my druid
