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 don't think there is a lot bartender can do about stealth/vanish and shadowdance settings, because blizz fundementally changed shadowdance too the same stance as stealth.... unless they hot fixed it .
Rogue's Stance Configuration needs to change ASAP.
It should be Stealth/Vanish & Shadowstep. NOT Shadowstep/Vanish & Stealth.
I don't know if it is just me or what. But everytime i log into the game or /reload ui my bar #7 isn't there. It only comes back if I open up the bartneder settings unlock the bars then lock them again. Been doing it since 4.3.4. Not sure if I am missing a setting or if it is just a small bug that may or may not be fixed.
It does not nescarrily need to be fixed right away but it is a little annoying and time consuming having to unlock and lock the bars each time i log into any character or /reload my ui.
This addon is still the best action bar addon imho :)
Same with mine too. Still hadn't seen any suggestions for a temp fix. and it's only bar 7!
Right its only and always bar 7 on all my toons lol. But that bar is usually the bar that i put like my mounts and hearthstone on :( I guess for now i could place another bar there.
EDIT - This doesnt work either. I tried using bar 9 and it does the exact same thing.
As i said before, there are some problems with the pagination. For example, if you use Vanish, it should go inmediatly to the stealth bar, or the bar you configured for it, but it doesnt! :(. Before MoP, it worked like that. This is, in fact, a big problem, because you have to wait until it changes from Vanish state, to stealth state, in order to use your stealth bar spells. It shouldnt be like that if you configured a bar for Vanish. It should go to that bar inmediatly when u get into vanish state. :( Please Fix it, because it was working before. BTW I <3 Bartender. :P
Can anyone tell me if the stancebar being moved to a random spot is gonna be fixed, it's driving me freaking crazy to have to reset it everytime I log in on a toon...
After recently downloading the patch and updating Bartender4, I'm noticing that I'm lagging a bit. I know it's Bartender4 because I can disable it and my interface will run fluidly. I am running the latest version, being 4.5.3.
As of right now:
Home: 56ms
World: 58ms
Framerate: 3 - 5FPS
Of course, Bartender is taking up 2.35MB of a total of 5.56MB.
Is there anything that can be done to alleviate this problem? Any input would be appreciated.
I <3 Bartender.
Edit from my last post.
With some experimentation, I found that it always pages to the Stealth bar, no matter what I tell it to. I set the Sdance bar to something off the wall, like my regular out-of-stealth bar, and it STILL goes to the stealth bar when Dance is used. Something is obviously screwed up.
Would love to be able to use my Sub spec.
The Shadow Dance paging is NOT fixed. It should be paging to Page 8 for Shadow Dance, and Page 7 for stealth, as is set in the options. However when Sdance is actually used, it still goes to 7. My Stealth bar.
There are things I need on my Sdance bar that I do not want on my Stealth bar, and vice versa.
Please look into this.
So I noticed you fixed Incarnation: tree of life paging, any way you can make that paging Incarnation for all specs, want to have different bar when I use incarnation in feral since it allows me to pounce, prowl, ravage etc.
I have been using bartender for a long while now and with the newest patch I am having an issue and I think it might be from this addon.I use SpartanUI and spoke to them about it. They say that the issue is with this addon and I had hoped to hear of a solution from someone here. I cannot use the shift method to change my hotkey row. Can someone help?
Thank you for fixing shadowdance pagination. However, in 4.5.3, there are still problems with the vanish pagination in "Stance Configuration". When i vanish, it is not paginating to the bar i configured for it. Please fix it to make vanish paginate the right way like it was before.
Update now.
When I'm in battle, fps drops from 112 to 38.
When I disable BT4 all good, fps 112-95
Hey I've been having problems with my Bag bar on Bartender for a while is it something i missed i need to do?.
Is just becomes deactivated it says that it is activated but when i hover over the area where it is with my mouse nothing pops up i have to go into bartender config and disable/enable it again for it to work
I just visited Darkmoon and didn't have a problem with my vehicle action bars. However, I have "Enable Blizzard Vehicle UI" turned on. You might try that and see if it helps. The result is pleasing.
-Skul
I want to thank you for all your hard work on this. I was delighted to see the first update mere minutes after the patch. I know you're working to get the rest of the fuzz off the peach but I just wanted you to know how much I appreciate your work and depend on you to keep my bars shining.
-Skul
First of all, gratz for your work.
As for the wrong side now:
-Yep, problem with the Darkmoon Fair special bar, and no "hide when vehicle UI" option working.
-Very, extremely annoying not being able anymore to choose two different bars for paginating between stealth state and shadowdance. Too damn bad :'(
When logged in with my Druid, bartender is showing the Prowl bar on Bar1 when I am not shapeshifted. I have tried setting the Default Bar State to "Don't Page" and "Page 1" with no effect. This was working fine in release 4.5.1 but appears to be broken in 4.5.2 & 3.
I noticed when mounting the Sandbox Tigers at Darkmoon Faire that I can place my vehicle bar, but when I dismount and remount, it's in the wrong spot. And then if I disable and enable the vehicle bar, it's back where I placed it.
