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 Jul 22, 2026I noticed an issue when changing forms as a druid that the bear abilities show but when using the keybind it reverts to what is bound to the Night Elf form. For example I have Maul bound on the same key as Wraith and when press the key for Maul it takes me out of bear form and starts to cast Wraith. This worked fine prior to the patch.

Posted Jul 22, 2026Bartender shows for me, but all my keybinds or even clicking wont register. Anyone else having this issue?
Update:
Keybinds are working , however the visual depression of the key does not occur, nor does the visual highlight of queueing certain abilities.

Posted Jul 13, 2026any update on the "press and hold casting" front, their seems to be some addons which fix it for elvui "ElvUI HoldToCastFix" by "It restores hold-to-cast functionality by redirecting your keybinds back to Blizzard's native action buttons behind the scenes." would that somehow be an options. I kinda enjoy bartender and i dont wanna switch back to normal cast bars and that feature seems so helpfull in getting castpremin up :D

Posted Jul 9, 2026@ErrantCelt Not sure if this was fixed in the newest version, but I also fixed the keyring button on the bagbar by removing WoWClassicEra from this string, if KeyRingButton and WoWClassicEra and self.config.keyring then
table_insert(self.buttons, KeyRingButton)
count = count + 1
elseif KeyRingButton then
KeyRingButton:Hide()
KeyRingButton:ClearAllPoints()
end

Posted Jul 17, 2026In reply to ErrantCelt:
The line for this is line 108, if for some reason that does not work try using ctrl+F and type in the search box if Keyring, and that should take you to the exact line.

Posted Jul 10, 2026@TheScrubExpress Under your Bartender4 folder, look for MicroMenu.lua. Open it in a notepad and look for towards the top of the code for "elseif WoWClassic then" and you'll see a bunch of buttons associated with the micromenu, you replace all of that with what I posted in it's place and you'll have your micro menu back.
