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 25, 2025As of 11.1, every bar is dead! Can't currently play, and I'm afraid to remap anything in the base UI for fear of messing up BT4.

Posted Feb 25, 2025I just logged in after todays patch. None of my buttons work anymore. Keybindings are still there. Everything looks right but when I click on something, nothing happens. You can see the button being pressed but no action. I have pulled new spells from spellbook and no luck. I have tried on several different characters and have the same issue. I literally can't play without my bars.

Posted Feb 20, 2025Is 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?

Posted Feb 19, 2025I'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?

Posted Feb 18, 2025I'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.

Posted Jan 14, 2025Vehicle 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.

Posted Jan 10, 2025On 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?

Posted Feb 12, 2025In 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

Posted Jan 4, 2025Bartender 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.
