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.

Posted Feb 26, 2025I don't know how many years ago I first used this mod. 18? 20? Every time I return to WoW, it's still here, still working. And was quickly fixed when an issue arose today. Thanks, donation incoming.

Posted Feb 25, 2025Bartender seems to have all the buttons/bars ineffective, not functional with this lastest wow version. I have to disable it within Addons for my buttons to once again work.

Posted Feb 25, 2025Whenever I enter a vehicle the abilities never work besides the exit. I can only click on the vehicle ability instead of hitting a keybind for it. Is there a way to fix this? I remade my profile 3 times now trying to figure this out.
