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.

For those with the same issue, go to Options -> Bars -> Bar 1 and make sure "ActionBar Paging" is checked. This seems to have been unchecked by default for some reason in the latest release.
Hope this helps. Thanks.
Using Shift+2, Shift+3 etc. does not currently change my active bar like it did pre-4.0.1. Shift+Mouse Scroll doesn't work either since the patch. Pretty much nothing I've tried switches my action bars while using Bartender.
Would love if this was fixed soon. ^^
ActionBar 1 - Mutilate hotkeys
ActionBar 5 - Stealth hoykeys
ActionBar 6 - Backstab hotkeys (basically puts Backstab in the same keybinding as Mutilate)
I used the default keybindings to manually swap ActionBar1 to ActionBar 6 when the target gets to ~35% so I can start in on the Backstab portion of my rotation. I have another keybinding to swap me back from 6 to 1.
The problem happens with the Stealth swapping action. If I'm on my normal ActionBar1, when I hit Stealth, ActionBar 5 swaps in normally (this is the bar I have set up as my Stealth bar in Bartender4).
But if I'm currently in my ActionBar6 Backstab setup, it doesn't change to ActionBar5 when I go into Stealth.
I've tried setting up ActionBar 6's Steath Stance Configuration to swap to ActionBar 5, but it just seems to ignore it, and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
I can always manually swap back to ActionPage 1 when I'm stealthed and it will call up the Stealth bar, but I kinda hate that extra step. I would rather have it just change to the Stealth bar automatically when I stealth.
With that said, I have deleted my cache / wtf folder. I have uninstalled all bartender components and reinstalled them, and for the hell of it even reinstalled WoW as a whole. This addon refuses to work for me.
The error itself - Whenever I log into WoW I have maybe a 5 second period where I can do anything just fine, then bartender basically...turns off. I can't use any keybinds or click anything for that matter. When I attempt to do so I get this error.

Am curious if there is a fix incoming or if I just have something messed up with the addon?
first, thanks for the great work on this addon
i got a small "issue" : when bartender is activated i can't click on the little icon near the chat windows (the friend icone , macro .....)
i need to place the mouse really on the very edge to be able to click ... quit a pain in the a...
i checked : everything is back to normal when I deactivate Bartender ... do you have an idea?
(sorry my english is really not perfect ^^)
Good to know - but It was the wrong Hint I would have needed.
I have found my Error now and the sollution :-)
Bar 1: Activate and insert Default Holy stuff
Bar 2: (Placed anywhere) Activate and insert Shaddow Stuff.
My Error: I used Visibility (second Tab Sichtbarkeit) and used "hide in Form/Shaddow" (Dont use this for your first and second bar!)
Now the correct trick:
Go to State configuration (Status konfigurieren) and enable this
Use Standard Bar 1
and Shaddow Bar 2
Bar 2 has to be disabled!
Now it works like bevore in WOW.
BUT: How can I use keyboardlayout of Bar 1 in Bar 2 on change like it did in WOW itself?
