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.

Since WoD Pre-Patch I'm noticing that Bartender frequently will change/reset some bars. Is anyone else experiencing this? I tried to download any updates but no changes since Patch day. Frequently I'll log in to the game and my bars will be completely changed around or missing altogether.
I've been disabling addons that are either not updated or I no longer want/need. Even disabled Bartender, since I'm not seeing my bars anyway. Doing so resulted in... still no bars. After further addon disabling, I found that disabling Masque allowed for my bars to show up again. Haven't tried to re-enable Bartender though. Unsure if I will or not, since I'm not in real need of so many bars anymore.
Why is the " Stance Bar " Greyed out in the options ? i really miss that
When opening the map (I have the map size maxed, so not the smaller one with the quest log on the side), the cooldown swipe disappears and the icon of my abilities shows as if there is no cooldown. Dragging the ability out and back in turns the cooldown swiper back on, but opening the map again makes the ability show as if there's no cooldown again.
Hi there,
i noticed, that if u get silenced (or other CC) the cooldown-animation is RED now (l know, its the same animation blizzard ueses if u activate CC-warning):
Could u pls insert an option to deactivate the red animation? I like the normal one in CC.
And another thing:
There is a bug if u use a CD from a hidden bar:
I have the same problem as you. The only workaround I found was using the "always hide" option.
ElvUI has the same issue.
could you please add sone screebshots for understanding what is it?
I think I have the same problem as Cruciarius81. On patch day, I just ticked 'load outdated addons' and bartender then loaded normally.
I've now updated all addons to their latest versions (including bartender4) and I have no bars showing at all. When opening the Bartender settings, I also have no bars showing under the 'Bars' category (as you can see on the screenshot - underneath the addon window is normally where I have my action bars).
I'ts probably pagination. Make sure you check that tab out. its been fairly buggy for me since 6.0.2.
Not sure where/what pagination is. I've tried looking through the preferences of Bartender, but even the enable/disable check box seems to do nothing, other than give me an error popup.
I'm still not seeing my bars. They aren't faded/transparent. They just aren't showing up. Yes I have the latest update.
Hi there, long time user of your addon here!
Love and appreciate all the work you do so I am sorry to bring this bug to light for you!
The scenario: I have setup my "Ox" stance to be bar 1, my "Serpent" to be bar 1 and my "Crane" to be bar 9. This all works fine. The two bar 1 settings dont conflict because the bars change when I change spec ofcourse.
The problem: However, I can change specs as many times as I like, once I have this set up, and it works perfect. But if I /reload or enter a loading screen, the pagination on Mistweaver no longer works. "Crane" and "Serpent" just use the same bar and I have to go back into the options (which still says "Crane" should use bar 9) click the dropdown, select bar 9 and then it resumes paging properly.
This is a new stance for mistweavers so maybe there is some problem here with that, care to advise?
TL;DR: Pagination for the new stance "Stance of the Spirited Crane" works but doesn't save between loadstates.
Hunters don't have stances now. Check your spell book.
Somehow the stance ar on my hunter doesn't show up since last Patch. In the config the stance bar is grayed out. Any hints or bideas ?
great... Thanks : )
Just started back to WoW again the other day with the dropping of Patch 6.0.2. Upon logging in I noticed that the micro menu seemed a little off from where I left it months ago. I originally thought it was due to my monitor changing. I did a little more research and I realized that there is a button missing on it. The computer on the bottom of the bar is gone. I looked in the configuration for Bartender and noticed that the max amount of rows could only be 12. It used to be 13 (either that or Blizzard added a new button while I was away from game). Either way it is something that might want to be looked into having fixed when time permits. For me its not something majorly big but I know other might find it very inconvient not having all the buttons there :) Just thought I would let you know. Thanks for a great addon :D
Your settings should transfer automatically. They're saved in the World of Warcraft\WTF\Account\<Account Name>\SavedVariables\Bartender4.lua file. As long as you don't mess with that, you should be fine.
I had gotten bartender4 maybe 2 months ago and with the new update to 6.0 needed to redownload it. Is there a way to transfer my settings?
I have now got Bartender working on new update. But every time Curse notifies me I download Bartender update with "nolib" in title it stops working. Any ideas
