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.

Is there a working version for 3.3.5? Some will load, but the /bartender or button for the bartender config menu doesn't work. Left click to adjust the position of bars works, however, right click to open menu DOES NOT WORK.
Any ideas? Versions? Suggestions?
I'm curious about the micro menu bar. Since the update in Cata Classic on 2/17 or 2/18 with content patch (whenever it was), I no longer have a BG/PVP Button and can no longer queue for bgs. Anyone else with this problem?
I've been missing the cooldown timers on my bars for at least a month. It doesn't matter if I use an older build from December or the latest one for 11.1 PTR. Currently, each cooldown on my action bar only shows the clockwise animation when I put them on cooldown, instead of the actual timer w/ numbers. I can enable the default Blizzard cooldown timers, but I have to do this every time I log in on any character - it doesn't stick.
I've looked in the Bartender settings, and maybe I'm just blind, but I don't see anything having to do with enabling/disabling cooldown timers. Judging by the absence of anyone else commenting on this, I'm hoping it's just something I may have disabled on accident that can get re-enabled.
The alpha version works on PTR.
Is there a way to set a default layout for every new character? curently I have to go to options and copy a profile, but i'd like to know if this can be done automatically.
FEATURE REQUEST:
I would appreciate a keybind/command to swap between profiles, it would so so good.
Vehicle bar malfunctioning. Specifically, Suramar quest "Close Enough" you must carry a body (vehicle) and deposit it in a certain place. When I tried it, the vehicle mechanism never popped. I had to disable bt in order to complete the quest.
Still broken on 11.1 PTR after 1/10/2025 update. Errors are on the comment below.
On PTR I'm getting the below error message. The number of errors increments on each key press AND release.
I have no Blizzard flyout buttons on my bars - I tested one and it worked ok so this ONLY affects non-flyout buttons. This only affects the buttons I have on bartender bars specifically. The buttons will highlight when pressed but no spell/macro etc is used.
Any ideas anybody?

In reply to Wraiyth_: I got it working on PTR, it's just a single library update for action bars
https://www.curseforge.com/wow/addons/libactionbutton-1-0/files/6097057
download and put folder into Libs under Bartender4
Most likely author will have it updated and fixed when patch goes live, but if you need today
Completely broken on 11.1 PTR. Any Fix?
Bartender is BROKEN in retail. Buttons are non-responsive, cannot get a spell off, had to open my spellbook and do it from there during a fight. Having ridiculous and multiple issues.
In reply to marblexavier: I have this issue in PTR
Bartender shows out of date. My game froze multiple times in a mythic and 4 disconnects. I shut off all addons except for Bartender and game still froze up. I turn it off and game runs fine. So pretty sure it needs an update. Love your addon so please fix it. Id post a pic but it wont allow me here.
In reply to boblyle05: it fixed?On geforce we lost it cause this problem i hope it qill come back soon…We are already limited for addon if we lost Bartender it very sad!
It shows a empty slot in the microbar, someone in the comments mentioned to diable classic guld UI to fix this, but it will just move the (!) to the other side.
Also the arrows and number on the bar-list at actionbar 1 are missing.
I can't live without that app, does anyone know how to fix this?
In reply to jester1610: I was able to fix this by going into the addons/Bartender4 folder, opening micromenu.lua and changing the code on line 26 to look like this:
"if WoWClassic then
BT_MICRO_BUTTONS = {
"CharacterMicroButton",
"SpellbookMicroButton",
"TalentMicroButton",
"QuestLogMicroButton",
"SocialsMicroButton",
"WorldMapMicroButton",
"MainMenuMicroButton",
"HelpMicroButton",
}"
In reply to BasedMoose: Thx man that worked!
Now I only need to know how to fix the arrows and pagenumber on actionbar 1.
HI, have not played this game in a very along time but I always appreciated this app along with DBM. But I was curious, is your newest update for 1.15.5.5 for wow classic coming out soon? The current download is from September 8th (4.15.1) and no longer works since the newest newest update?
Thank you for the help in this matter
So, working on the Felcycle secrets, and every time I try to use a Decryption Console, I have to turn off BT4 to get the numbers to appear on the actionbar.
I am having the same issues as Iggnatz. Except this is happening often for me when I have a quest related action button beside the quest. It makes me disable the mod and I have to re-enable later.
Does anyone have a way to fix this?
