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.

In reply to Cordiel:
When I have Bartender enabled, mouse clicking is not registering half of the time :(
edit: I figured it out. I had bartender's empty bars in the center of my screen. I had to unenable them(even though they were invisible) because I was technically clicking the bars so it wasn't registering that I was trying to move lol
Hi!
is there an option to only show the green glow on pet bar during "combat only"....

Hello!
Would it be possible to add an option to the Blizzard art bar in order to recreate the look it had during BFA/SL?
I attach an image to understand what I'm talking about: https://i.imgur.com/jh0V3Lk.jpg
Hi Bartender!
I love your addon, GF didnt wanna play wow cus of the user interface change.
She loved the way you made it back to the way it was again.
There is one feature we cant find though
When you dont have an ability on the bars you cant see the bar at all
She was just wondering if you can help with this or adding as a feature soon
I believe blizzard has a tickbox option on there UI and it is called 'Always Show Buttons'
Is this possible with Bartender 4?
Thank you
Turahok
In reply to Turahok:
You can set this for every bar indivdually - check the bar you want to configurel, and check "Button Grid"
In reply to nevcairiel:
Thanks Didnt realize thats what grid done.
She be happy now.
Is it possible that switching specializations is not working properly at the moment?
When I drag a new ability onto a bar in one spec, and then switch specs, the new ability is suddenly present in the other spec as well.
Even worse, if I switch from one spec to another where I don't have certain abilities and then back to the first spec, all the abilities that didn't exist in the second spec are gone from my bars in the first spec.
And it doesn't seem to make any difference whether I have spec profiles enabled or not.
In reply to Tamakil:
I'm also having this exact problem. :(
In reply to Cthylla11111:
Hey Cthylla11111, in the meantime, I was able to further isolate the problem on my end, and it doesn't seem to be a Bartender problem, but a general WoW problem.
I described it in more detail in this post in the Blizzard support forum.
If your problem is identical or similar, you can post something there and maybe we will get an answer from support.
If you found a solution, I would be grateful for any information :)
Are conditionals for hiding out of combat/with a target working right now?
I've tried with the code from various Google searches with no joy, it just hides the bar and doesn't show it ever:
[combat,pet][target=target,exists,pet]show;hide
or
[combat] [target=target,exists]show;hide
Hello,
I have a problem with pagination. When I want a bar to change state based on my character's status.
For example, that "bar 1" becomes "bar 2" when I camouflage myself.
In the paging list, the bars do not match at all, "bar 6", "bar 7" and "bar 8" do not match its bars.
Anyone else have this concern?
In reply to Nightology669:
The bar number mixup should've been fixed in 4.13.2
In reply to nevcairiel:
The bar number mixup is not fixed nowadays
Cant seem to remove/move abilities on my bars now. Only able to drag in new stuff. Anyone else have this problem?
In reply to Djuntas:
Hold Shift, or unlock the buttons in the settings.
In reply to nevcairiel:
Can you remove the forced button lock? Not sure why you had to change it.
In reply to Maryblood:
Forced? Its just a setting. Toggle it if you like it the other way.
In reply to nevcairiel:
Until i updated this morning, when you opened Bartender4 next to the lock button, everytime i unchecked Button Lock and relogged, when i logged back in it would be checked again.
Not sure if the most recent update fixed it.
Love the addon regardless, always preferred it over ELVUI or other bar addons.
