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 23, 2025In reply to Reyard1: Came here to say the same thing. Turning off only Bartender and no other addon i usually play with, gets rid of the "forced" cooldown timer.

Posted Apr 23, 2025In reply to Reyard1: same here. seems like bartender auto enables the new cooldown numbers option from blizzard even when you disabled it in their options by yourself? at least that's what i am thinking cause i cant find a new option in bartender itself

Posted Apr 8, 2025to fix issues with today's patch on anniversary realms,
1.) Navigate to World of Warcraft\_classic_era_\Interface\AddOns\Bartender4\libs\LibActionButton-1.0 and open up the .lua file
2.) Scroll down until you see the functions, pick a spot between the end of a function and the next one starting(dont paste it into an existing function), paste in this new function once:
function Generic:OnButtonStateChanged(...)
end
3.) Save and reload
edit: to clarify, you only need this one time in the lua file. i put mine after line 275, right between the 'end' and 'function SetupSecureSnippets(button)'.

Posted Apr 8, 2025In reply to spacious: This doesnt make sense, 80% of that file is functions. Theres over 100 functions called out, and atleast another 90 under the button mapping sections. And about 4-5x's as many 'end's called out
Do you have line #'s or any other starting point? Because to me it looks like i gotta add that line in 200+ times.

Posted Apr 8, 2025In reply to AbsoluTalenT:

Posted Mar 19, 2025I'm having a lot of issues with Bartender and Vehicle UI in this season.
Specifically in the Cinderbrew Meadery, on the boss where you mount the bees while in combat, very often the vehicle UI doesn't show up at all. And the times it does, it does not go away after dismounting the bee.
I've tried both using the default Blizzard vehicle UI and Bartener's "possess bar" option. Neither of them work properly while entering a vehicle in combat.
Does anyone have any tips on how to get this working reliably?
