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.

Did you double check to make sure in Interface>Help that Enhanced Tooltips is checked?

Ever since Cataclysm, my bars when scrolled over, do not tell me what the spell is and what the description is. Is there a way to make this come up again? With all of the changes that blizzard has made to all of the spells, I would like their description so I know what the spell does. Please help! Thanks!

Hello I have a bug i think.
Today I noticed one of my spells wasn't executing correctly. To be specific I am a holy priest. The spell is when I activate my Chakra (Cast heal to get into Chakra: Serenity) Serentiy becomes an instant cast heal that I an cast every few seconds on a target.
Today when I was casting it I noticed it didn't seem to be healing my target, instead it was healing ME! I confirmed this by the crit buff that it places 100% always on the target, was going on me instead. As soon as combat ended, however, all the sudden it was casting on my target again.
Before you ask if I am sure I had my target selected (in case I did not and was auto self casting) I can assure you I've tested this many times today, each time I had my husbands warrior selected as my target.

I figured it might be bartender, so I disabled all my add 111111ons, tried it w/o ANYZTHING on. The spell works IN combat on my target as it should. Then I went back and turned ONLY Bartender on and tried again in game. Once again in combat Serenity was once again healing ME and not my target.

Before you ask (yet again) - yes I turned off Bartenders auto self casting features. But it still does it. So it seems the only way to get this to STOP is to turn off 'Auto Self Casting' in 'Interface - Combat.' When I do that I can then finally cast Serenity BUT it won't cast at the press of a button, instead I press the button and it highlights my cursor telling me I then have to physically click it on someone or a health bar.

Not sure why this is happening, but it doesn't seem to be performing correctly.

About the flyout buttons. Is it restricted in all ways? The problem is, when I have my portal button on a bar that fades out when rolling off with the mouse, the flyout also goes invisible.
Maybe there's a way to prevent the ActionBar from hiding when the flyout is open?

Well, i can put it on a "non-fade" bar, but I'm one of those that wan't souch things hidden on the screen. :)

Have you tried using the center horizontally and center vertically, then moving them to where they 'belong'? I had a couple bars that had disappeared, and that turned out to be the issue.

i'm curious, i update bartender every time you issue a new version. i understand that there are some things you cannot prevent but could you explain to me what is going on? on some of my characters when i type /bar when i have every bar enabled, i uncheck mark "always hide" yet, half my bars do not show up. i know that if i goto my WTF files delete bartender saves that'l fix it but i kind of have a lot of bindings and don't wish to reprogram. how can i prevent this problem from occurring in the future?

Is there a way to make the XP Bar show percentage rather than the number? (or both even)

I know with some add ons there is conflicts. I use Move Anything so it now has it's own Reputation Bar and Experience bar over riding the default.

But I could have swore bartender favored blizz options (but I can't seem to get my bartender to over ride Move Anything even with MA's rep/xp bar disabled.)
IF you aren't using any mods like MoveAnything make sure Interface>Status Text is on 'Display Percentages' checked. If that doesn't work than as far as I can see there isn't a way

I really like this AddOn, but there's a few things which I find is.. Missing. I may just not be able to find it.
First thing: Strata. The XP Bar does by default have a higher strata, than the blizzard art, and I want to change that.
Second thing: XP Pin. When you're rested, there's a small pin needle, telling you the limit of the rested XP. It is not there.
Third thing: Wyverns. You can change the griffins to lions, but not wyverns. As a horde, I would prefer to look at the default horde flying mount, over the alliance flying mount.

Oh, also. The default blizzard art for the Pet and Stance bar should be added.
And for people using the One-Bar Layout, a 10-bar XP and Rep bar should be available (instead of the 20-bar).

I am having a terrible time getting the ActionBar paging to remain copasetic with my other bars. Bar 1 is always overwritten by the other bars below it. I am using bars 1-5 for paging, but the keep "bleeding" through. Any thoughts on how to fix this?

*Note: Bars 1-5 have ActionBar Paging turned on. But they still aren't cooperating.

Not sure if I am on to what you mean, but from what I get I think you are trying to get one bar to page through 5 bars. I think when I tried that in the past I had to hide bars 2-5, then allow action bar paging in Bartender on bar #1. in Blizz Interface>Action Bars, I make sure all bars are checked to show. Then in Blizz menu Key Bindings> Action Bar Functions, I scroll until I see 'Previous Action Bar' or 'Next Action Bar' then set my scroll button (mine is ` right next to #1) and it scrolls through all bars hidden in Bartender but technically showing in the Blizz UI.
Not sure if that's what you mean. But it takes a lot of playing around.

If you meant you have bars 1-5 showing but want them to page to a new bar you have to set each bar to Enable paging, then set the bar you want it to page to, giving it a modifier (usually page it to a hidden bar like Bar #1 to page to Bar #6, #6 being a hidden bar) then you have to set it's modifier.

I just can't get this thing to act like it used to. This is highly frustrating. I want it to work similar to Blizz bars so that when I hit SHIFT+1, SHIFT+2, etc it switches to the appropriate bar. AND I want the stance bars to stay out of the way like they are supposed to until I change stances.

I love this addon and have used it for a very long time now, but this was a horrible change to make.

I think disabling page scrolling and bar hotkeys by default is a bad idea. Seems like you're just asking for a bunch of pains in the ass to flood you with questions about it, or uninstall it altogether.

Not to mention, since some of these changes Bartender now seems to randomly reset my key binds to default regularly.
