Make sure Shift+1 is actually bound to "Action Page 1" in the Blizzard key bindings window.
Also, any pages displayed on other bars are removed from paging in the default UI (eg. if you have Extra Action Bar 1 shown, then your main bar only has 5 pages instead of 6), but I'm not sure how that interacts with BT4.
Another thing you could try is custom state definitions. Check the "custom" box on the states/pages tab for your bar, and enter the states you want in the box using macro conditionals. For example, here is the state definition I use for my main bar with 3 pages (instead of the default 6).
Only the first part is required, for vehicles etc. The rest can be adjusted to your liking.
Bah, post got devoured.
Any way to make a class/spec universal definition that works with all stance paging?
Also, any way to tell a bar to shift-page only between certain bars? Above definition pages through the wanted bars X extra times.
Edit: I guess shift paging is not really handled by Bartender as it's just a keybinding. There's a global table VIEWABLE_ACTION_BAR_PAGES that determines which bars gets paged through, but I reckon that's highly susceptible to taint. Guess I can just bind shift-scroll to a /swapactionbar macro and be done with it. That would also eliminate the need for a state definition that takes into account stances.
That's not (really) Bartender's fault. The default UI code moves the micro bar to the pet battle UI when you enter a pet battle, and moves it back afterwards. If you have another addon hiding the default pet battle UI, it will also hide the micro menu during pet battles.
A quick question on 'Stance Bar'. When I originally used another addon the 'Stance Bar' Regardless of how many buttons it had, was always centered into the location where it was placed. I have tried to do a similar thing with Bartender. Though, when I swap to other characters, that bar would then be offcentered. Is there a way to make the 'Stance Bar', stay exactly centered across a shared profile for all characters? Regardless if its 1 or even 7 abilities in the 'Stance Bar'.
Dominos had done this fairly well. Yet BT seems to like to flush either to the left or right. Rather than consider some may like a more centralized approach.
There's no way to do that in-game, but you can do it out-of-game (after exiting WoW) by simply copying your saved variables file from one account's SavedVariables folder to the other:
World of Warcraft > WTF > Account > 123456#1 > SavedVariables > Bartender4.lua
On the Visibility tab for the bar, check the "Use custom" option near the bottom, and then enter this in the custom conditionals box:
[overridebar] [possessbar] [vehicleui] show; hide
Is there any way to page bar 1 for this setting? I can't seem to figure it out but this is exactly what I wanted but the issue is it pages my origional bar 1 and not bar 1 with the possesed bar so I see all my regular abilities and not the vehicle / possesed etc actions.
The condition string you quoted is for controlling when the bar is hidden or shown, and has nothing to do with paging.
If you want to do anything with paging, you need to be using the State Configuration tab, not the Visibility tab, and you need to be using page numbers, not "show" and "hide" keywords. If you need more specific help, please be more specific about which page(s) you want to show on the bar, and under what conditions you want each page to be shown.

Ok what I would like is a bar that is hidden all the time except when possesd, vehicle etc (basically any time my action buttons swap to anythign other than what I normally use) and when they are visible I would like them to show the buttons of the vehicle or possesion actions available.
At the moment with the old setup the bars are invisible except when possesed vehicle etc and show when I am BUT it is showing my action bar1 with my regular abilities and NOT the vehicle abilities.
not sure if this makes sense but yea wanted to have it show up when possesed with the posses abilities on it is the jist of it.
hello
yesterday i played wow with no problems
this morning i login and my bartender is messed up , looks like everything has reseted ,i checked if it whasnt out off date , but it seems to be fine
i tryed logging in and out but the rezult is the same
any idee on how this can be ?or how to fix it ?
i spended loads off time to get it the way i liked it and now its just AAAAAAAAAAAAA crazzy:(
Most likely your saved settings file was lost or corrupted. This could happen if you closed WoW improperly (eg. you pressed Alt+F4, or it just crashed on its own) or if there was a problem with your computer's hard drive. While it might have been possible to recover the old file at one point, once you've logged out of WoW again whatever was there got overwritten, so it's gone now.
In the future, if you notice something like this when you log in, don't log out. Instead, open your WoW program folder and navigate to:
World of Warcraft > WTF > Account > 123456#1 > SavedVariables
Copy the file(s) for the addon(s) in question to another location before you log out, so you have a copy of what was there before overwriting it with the new (probably default) version.
Also, you may want to consider making regular backups of your WTF folder, and running a check on your hard drive to make sure it isn't dying.
I have an issue with my Mistweaver/Brewmaster monk where bar 1 is duplicating itself to either bar 7, 8 or 9 depending on spec/stance. I've just opened a ticket on this but I'm concerned that the tickets are still showing up as "New" months after they've been created. I've reset my config as far as possible by shutting down WoW, renaming Cache, WTF/Account/<NAME> and Interface/Addons directories, downloading BT4 via the Curse client (= the only addon) and restarting with no change in this behaviour.
The simple solution for me appears to be to use Bar 10 for my monk, but can anyone else confirm this behaviour or that the ticket is likely to get considered?
That isn't a bug. It's just how the Blizzard actionbar system works for classes with stances. The default UI (and the default settings in Bartender4) never use the first action page for such classes -- instead, bar 1 will show page 7, 8, or 9 depending on your stance. If you want a different behavior, play around with the State Configuration options for your bars.
I would really like to be able to saved out all the bar setup and layout information, kind of like ActionBarSaver does for the contents of the bar. I doubt I will be setting up too many more alts, but I have to go through the same painful process each time. I would like a command in BT rather than having to manually copy folders though since that may bring extra things along.

This sounds exactly what the Profiles part of the /bt window does: saves layout and options in a way that's available across all characters. Is there something there which doesn't do what you want?

Curse PremiumFor BT4, I found I need to (A) unlock the buttons, and then (B) toggle its BagBar "only show one bag" option.
I don't know if/how Ark Inventory is involved at all, can't help you there.
