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.

updated to mists & updated bartender (need bartender, hate blizzard bars) but i keep getting lua errors. i've updated bartender 3 times now, nothing is working. the bars show up, but i dont have a micro menu, xp or reputation bar, and theyre all checked in the /bt place. really need help
Totally agree with the Darkmoon Faire comment. Keybinds do not work for any of the vehicle games except the tonk one. Very strange... and annoying to have to click instead.
At least thats something i can go test, easier then doing some raid boss. :p
So.. How come Darkmoon Faire minigames hides my bars, but it hides when i enter a vehicle/horse at argent tournament?
Though the Tonk darkmoon Faire minigame works like it should, but the rest dosn't.
Clearly a bug if you ask me, even though it's the same bar it uses (OverrideActionBar)
Haha yea mate. I hope you will find out something for it, because i have an UI filled with kgPanels which i hide with bartender when i enter a vehicle.
The UI comes up, but dosn't hide the bartender bars, which also hides my kgPanels AND minimap :P
I don't no much about coding LUA, but i think the issue is that: The Tonk quest is actually a vehicle, but the rest is just a buff.
So maybe you are checking after the wrong thing, to hide the bartenders when wanting to hide when entering a vehicle.
I can tell, that the one thing they all have in common is the actually override vehicle bar, which is called "OverrideActionBar" (I use that name, to check to hide my minimap, which works fine)
In 4.5.3 there is a new option in the "Visibility" tab of all bars to hide the bar when an override bar is active, "Hide with Override Bar", just tick that and it should hide the UI.
I see that now. Cheers mate, keep up the good work. Just recently changed to Bartender from Dominos.. Best decision ever :P
So I'm having an issue and I think it might be from this addon. I cannot shift from one hotkey row to the next and I was wondering if someone could help.
Sadly, thats not possible.
I can only offer extra stance bars when the game allows me to, and there is no way to detect Incarnations in general, it only works for Tree of Life because its a completely new form, but the feral versions just "upgrade" your current form, so it can't detect it.
I am very interested in this as well :(
I can recommend modifier macros, or just make use of (bar 10 fx.) to show when holding shift.
Then you can just chose shift+1,2,3,4 (dunno of theres more special abilites for that upgrade cat).
Maybe you can detect it by macro, try google it.
Can we have a stance bar for Incarnation: King of the Jungle (feral) aswell? Like Shadow Dance has. I have so many binds that it is very frustrating that I atm have to bind Pounce and Ravage to use out of stealth. Two extra binds which I only use for 30 sec.
Incarnation for feral, guardian, moonkin is considered a buff if that helps anyone make something useful to get bars to change.
I'll grab that glyph and see if its possible.
Edit:
I got the glyph, but for some reason the way it should work (the same way as with Meta), it just doesn't. Sounds like Blizzard forgot something, i'll try to bring it to their attention.
Another Demo Lock here. Can Dark Apotheosis be added to the "Stance Configuration" section of the "State Configuration" Tab? Meta is already there, and works great. This would be a great help to those who have taken the Glyph of Demon Hunting.
Thanks,
Hi, im currently playing a Demo Warlock.
When im casting Hand of Gul'dan my game goes into a loop. I've tried multyple computers all had the same problem. After that i tried making a macro of the spell with a random icon, that neither fixed it.
Is there anyone with the same (or similar) problem? and how did you fix / not fix it?
Hi there,
I installed bartender the other day and the UI it presents to start with is not the same as Blizzards and as such the bags don't line up with the UI frames at all (and you have the one bag only feature enabled by default which looks odd.)
On-top of this the arrows to change the bottom action bar are missing and so are the numbers plus the two right hand bars are reversed which shouldn't be the case!
1 2 is now 2 1
|| ||
I think the UI should start off the same as Blizzards (or as close to as possible) when you first install the addon so that people don't end up confused.
Just thought you might like to know. =)
Even before patch 5.xxx I have this problem with bar 7 --- it's enable, always to show -- everytime I log out I need to /bt4 unenable/reable ---- I saved the profile with bar 7 present. Not sure what else to do! everything else is fine, thanks for the work into this!
I find a temporary workaround to fix the XP bar. Simply use /reload ui once to reload the interface right after you log in game (for ease I made a macro so I can just press a button). Ofc if you change character you will have to do it again (and that's why I created the macro).
Unfirotunately this doesn't work with the Reputation bar. I think there should be some conflict between the Rep and the Xp bars, cause if the XP bar is visible and I enable the Rep bar (from the Bartender Options) the XP bar is disappearing but the Rep bar is not shoing up either.
Hope it helps.
