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 Pandoraoh:
This is blizzard's fault. Bars have a numbering in the UI, but also an internal ID, and these two do not match.
Up to a few years ago bartender only used the internal ID, so bar 3 in the bartender UI would also be bar 3 in bar macros, scripts, and bar selection conditionals.
With the introduction of edit mode blizzard started numbering bars, in a different order than the internal numbering, and bartender has adapted to follow suit. This means bar 2 in the blizzard UI will become bar 2 in the bartender UI if you install bartender, but the numbering in conditionals and scriptlets will not match up.
These are the names used in the bartender source, with internal IDs on the left:
11 and 12 are not named in this part of the code and I cannot find them offhand. I think 11 is the totem bar (can only hold shaman totems) and 12 is the dragonflying bar, but it may be the other way around.
In reply to azymyrta:
Thank you so much for this breakdown! Do we have any idea what the extra bars would be for this macro?
For instance: Stance Bar, Extra Action Bar? I've tried 16, 17, 20 etc and no luck
Any and all help on this would be really appreciated!
In reply to SpykeSTL:
All I can tell offhand is that 'possess', 'dragon', and 11 trigger special logic in bartender. Warrior stances, druid forms, rogue stealth, etc. in the non-bartender UI use the four class bars. The extra action button and bar (which you cannot drop arbitrary spells on in the default UI) are not action bars and are not selectable in using state logic.
In reply to azymyrta:
Ahhh dang, thank you so much for your time!
I've been trying to create a macro I can keybind that hides every bartender element so I can use a weakaura UI instead but still easily toggle the bartender UI on and off at will, it's surprisingly harder to figure out than I anticipated haha
is the status tracking bar not working properly in retail? im getting some weird clipping
In reply to ccpoppin1:
The status (XP/rep) bar does not obey scaling correctly. It only works at its default size. This is a very long-standing issue.
To adjust (reduce under 574) the width in Bartender4 will break the Status/XP bar, it will simply protruding.
This Bug still was since Dragonflight not fixed ....
Currently, in State Configuration, it is possible to set custom conditionals to set the active bar page.
It is also possible to modify smart target selection, but only using the two default checkboxes.
Could you add an option to enter custom conditionals for target selection as well?
In Beta, the spellbook and talents button is missing from the Micro Menu.
In reply to cursedgarbage:
Additionally, the professions button (which replaced the old spellbook button) is also missing. Blizzard probably renamed the buttons.
In reply to azymyrta:
Thinking on this further - Does bartender need to manage the micro menu and bag bar at all anymore? Like the extra action bar, a lot of the functionality bartender used to offer here is now baseline in edit mode.
In reply to azymyrta: for me, yes because the default MicroMenu settings can't make the buttons small enough compared to Bartender, there is also more spacing between the buttons in the default editor (I believe the smallest being 1 spacing) and I use .5/.75 spacing to make them as close as possible
In reply to cursedgarbage: Blizzard renamed the buttons,
Talent button was removed
Spellbook button got changed from SpellbookMicroButton to PlayerSpellsMicroButton
new Profession button added ProfessionMicroButton
in Micromenu.lua
Change lines 26 & 27 from
"SpellbookMicroButton",
"TalentMicroButton",
to
"ProfessionMicroButton",
"PlayerSpellsMicroButton",
tested and works for me
How do I get the encounter bar on retail? I cant find it anywhere
not sure whats going on but on 4.14.18 it made all the bars disappear. I had to revert back to
4.14.17
Would it be possible to have a movable encounter bar option for cata classic please
Yo, guys, i really need some help. Im play in Cata Classic. Can someone please explain why when i activate my Shadow Dance ability it goes to my 8 Bar, but not to my 7 Bar (my stealth stance bar). I remember back in WoTLK it worked properly. I need to see Shadow Dance in the same bar as my stealth. Can someone help me pls? <3
In reply to skype55: Not the author but I had this happen too on my Feral Druid in Wrath, I had to change the stealth bar option back and forth to what I wanted. It was awhile ago though might be something different
Having an issue with Micro bar. I can click anywhere on most of the keys and the action will happen, like Spellbook, Achieves, but when I click on Game menu, Help ?, or Dungeon Journal it only works if I click on the very bottome edge. Funny though, its happening on all my toons except one.
Just curious if you are in the works of releasing a update for 10.2.7 anytime soon?
No other app of this category compares to the flexibility of it.
