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.

Still can't report people away or right-click dismiss pets? That's been a problem for YEARS.
Not with Bartender though, works just perfectly here.
I could have sworn you used to be able to change the scale of the stance bar. When I downloaded Bartender again for my Druid and Paladin, my stance icons looked huge, but when I went into Bartender to scale them down, I wasn't given the option. The only customization option I'm given is to enable or disable it.
On mine:
I have the same problem as bigjayjunior below; the Bartender Vehicle UI doesn't show up for me and there is, instead, a blank spot where the action bars used to be. Happening since 6.0 and I have to currently use the Blizzard Vehicle UI in order to see the skills and frames D:
I just did the noodle stand quest which puts you in a vehicle of sorts, and I got the vehicle buttons just fine, with or without the Blizzard Vehicle UI activated.
in 4.6.3 the count font size is too large ...
i set it to 13 again
not supportet 6.0.2 ;/
I have a k95 keyboard with 54 macro keys. I can't get it to work with my corsair keyboard. Works fine with ct-mod, suggestions?
how i get rid of cooldown swipe on faded bars? even uninstalled omnicc and still got this on 4.6.2/2.6.2.1
i have a mac, and i just tried to update my add ons, including BT4... for some reason, it is showing up as "out of date". i load out of date add ons and it still will not show up or work in game. i deleted the entier file from my interface folder, and re uploaded it, and again the same... im new to wow on mac, so maybe im missing something, but BT worked fro me no problem pre patch... any help?
Got the same problem, really annoying.. Seems to be with Stance classes.
Do you enable right after you disable it, or keep it disabled while you play the spec? Cause mine goes back when I enable again.
Quite some anoying bug.
Changed to my second spec on my monk, and my bars changed from what I left them at. Had to redo my bars because it removed and rearranged my buttons.
Switched back to my main spec, lo and behold, that one changed too? Went to dig in the settings, and had to disable and re-enable 'state configuration', and they switched back to where I originally left them at.
Now everytime I change spec, I gotta enter the bartender settings, disable and enable the state configuration again for my bars to turn normal. My state configuration itself does not get changed, I just have to enable and disable it. (Default bar state is set to Don't page, if this helps, should be like blizzard default handles it)
How do i get my bartender4 vehicle bar to show now? Ever since patch my vehicle bar has reverted to the default blizzard ui, but whenever i click to disable the blizzard default vehicle ui and choose to use the bartender4 ui I have no bars at all. Its acting like it is disabling the blizzard ui like its supposed to but it either isnt activating the bartender ui regardless of if i have it checked to enable or not, or it is just trying to hide the default ui without moving which is in turn covering up my bartender UI with the blank spot. Is there anyway around this or do i have to keep using the default UI for now? :-(
This is the most useful addon I've seen in 8 years of playing WoW. I was concerned that the patch would break it and I was dreading trying to play without it. Thankfully, our benefactors got the update out right away and I appreciate that very much.
Thank you for your work on this. It's elegant.

Thanks, just tried this - but the bindings have no effect on the bag button clicking.
Hi.
I've got the "One Bag" option enabled for my bag bar, but when I click on the bag button it only opens the first bag... how please can I make click open all the bags?
Cheers.
You can probably change that in the Blizzard keybinds .... instead of "open backpack" make it "open all bags." That's what I'm thinking anyway.
-Skulhamr
You can shift-click to open all bags.
a workaround for the "bar 1,7&8 are the same" - issue i just use extra bar 9 and 10 instead and disable bar 1 7 & 8, this might not be a solution for people using more than 6 action bars but it should suffice for most people.
If the stance bar is greyed out it means you arent currently on a class that has stances (hunters dont have stances anymore for example)
