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 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!

Posted Aug 19, 2025Mouseover casting completely broken. Default Blizzard behavior does not work with BT enabled in any context. Enabling Mouseover on BT does literally nothing.

There is a problem with the Extra Action Bar.
Once it is placed, the action button is not in the desired location.

Posted Aug 6, 2025Wondering if anyone has tried the 1 button assist. For whatever reason, when 11.2 came out, it stopped working. It should the icon for it, but pressing the key bind or clicking on the bar itself for bartender doesn't work. Wondering if maybe I'm doing something wrong, or if something broke it in 11.2.

Posted Aug 6, 2025Hello, for several days now, the pet bar has been missing. I've disabled and re-enabled it, but it doesn't change anything ; I no longer have my pets' attacks (warlock).
I also can't put my pets' attacks in another bar.

Posted Jul 21, 2025Hi, really loving Bartender4 since many many years ago. I recently seem to have an issue when I have Bartender4 enabled, I am no longer able to hit CTRL + R to view my FPS. It works when I disable Bartender4. May I know how I can fix this? Thank you!
