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 8, 2026@jwvanderstam This mostly works, but it includes micro buttons that don't exist in TBC, which forces the addon to leave spaces for them. Referencing a screenshot from before the patch, and confirming via the macros below, we can trim the list back to only:
"CharacterMicroButton",
"SpellbookMicroButton",
"TalentMicroButton",
"QuestLogMicroButton",
"WorldMapMicroButton",
"MainMenuMicroButton",
"HelpMicroButton",
For whatever reason, the Help micro button doesn't load for me despite its inclusion. But with the Support button being available on the Main Menu, it hardly matters.

Posted Jul 9, 2026Fixed now,
Here's the exact change, referenced against the original file's line numbers (before the edit):
File: MicroMenu.lua
Location: inserted between original line 42 (}, closing the WoWClassicMists table) and original line 43 (elseif
WoWClassic then)
Before (original lines 26-43):
26 if WoWClassicMists then
27 BT_MICRO_BUTTONS = {
28 "CharacterMicroButton",
29 "SpellbookMicroButton",
30 "TalentMicroButton",
31 "AchievementMicroButton",
32 "QuestLogMicroButton",
33 "SocialsMicroButton",
34 "GuildMicroButton",
35 "PVPMicroButton",
36 "LFGMicroButton",
37 "CollectionsMicroButton",
38 "EJMicroButton",
39 --"HelpMicroButton",
40 "StoreMicroButton",
41 "MainMenuMicroButton",
42 }
43 elseif WoWClassic then
After (new lines 26-53):
26 if WoWClassicMists then
27 BT_MICRO_BUTTONS = {
28 "CharacterMicroButton",
29 "SpellbookMicroButton",
30 "TalentMicroButton",
31 "AchievementMicroButton",
32 "QuestLogMicroButton",
33 "SocialsMicroButton",
34 "GuildMicroButton",
35 "PVPMicroButton",
36 "LFGMicroButton",
37 "CollectionsMicroButton",
38 "EJMicroButton",
39 --"HelpMicroButton",
40 "StoreMicroButton",
41 "MainMenuMicroButton",
42 }
43 elseif WoWClassicBCC then
44 BT_MICRO_BUTTONS = {
45 "CharacterMicroButton",
46 "SpellbookMicroButton",
47 "TalentMicroButton",
48 "QuestLogMicroButton",
49 "WorldMapMicroButton",
50 "MainMenuMicroButton",
51 "HelpMicroButton",
52 }
53 elseif WoWClassic then
So: 7 new lines added (lines 43-52 in the current file), nothing removed or modified elsewhere. Everything from the
old line 43 (elseif WoWClassic then) onward is unchanged, just shifted down by 10 lines.

Posted Jul 8, 2026Temporary Fix: You can use an in-game /run macro to make a new container for the micro menu, attach it to the edit mode "Menu" container so it can be moved, and put the micro menu buttons inside this new container. This takes clicking 2 macros after logging in or reloading and is undone when you log out or reload, but should serve as a temporary solution until an update gets pushed.
Macro #1: /run for i,b in ipairs({CharacterMicroButton,SpellbookMicroButton,TalentMicroButton,QuestLogMicroButton})do b:SetParent(UIParent)b:ClearAllPoints()b:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT",MicroMenu,"BOTTOMLEFT",(i-1)*26,0)b:Show()end
Macro #2: /run for i,b in ipairs({GuildMicroButton,WorldMapMicroButton,MainMenuMicroButton,HelpMicroButton})do b:SetParent(UIParent)b:ClearAllPoints()b:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT",MicroMenu,"BOTTOMLEFT",(i+3)*26,0)b:Show()end
