Important Changes (v1.1)
Due to recent MoP Classic API changes, Blizzard now blocks direct interaction with Extra Action Buttons. This addon has been updated to work around these restrictions:
- Use the red positioning frame instead of direct button dragging
- Positioning only works outside of combat (standard WoW limitation)
- All core functionality remains intact
Technical Notes
- Character-specific positioning - Each character saves their own preferred location
- Conflict-free - Uses secure hooking to prevent UI layout interference
- Performance optimized - Minimal memory footprint and CPU usage
- Compatible with other UI addons
Related Addon
This addon is the spiritual successor to MoveAltPowerBar, using the same proven framework but specifically designed for Extra Action Buttons. If you need to move Alternative Power Bars (like those in Tol Barad or specific encounters), check out MoveAltPowerBar as well.
Compatibility
- MoP Classic (Interface 50500)
- Works with all UI scaling options
- Compatible with other action bar addons
Important Compatibility Notes
Action Bar Addon Users: If you use action bar addons like Bartender4, Dominos, or similar, make sure to disable Extra Action Bar management in those addons' settings. Only one addon should control the Extra Action Bar at a time to prevent positioning conflicts.
