Action bar help?

I'm brand new to WoW. I recently leveled up to 12. As soon as I did, I gained three new abilities. Then my action bar immediately changed to a smaller, completely different looking bar, only consisting of those three abilities. But I can't add any other abilities to it. I want to go back to the old action bar, but I can't change it, nor can I even add other action bars.

Here's what the bar looks like: Photo

Can anyone help me figure out how to go back to the old one?
I've scoured so many forums and youtube videos and I have yet to see anything like this. Maybe I'm just being a total noob here and it's an easy fix, but I've tried everything I possibly can. Some help would be greatly appreciated! (:

Welcome to WowInterface, ohamandalynn.

That action bar would show up if you were on a certain quest. Those are the abilities to use for that quest. Your normal action bar should show back up when you finish it. There are several quests/vehicles that will change your action bar, and there are various styles of art to go around them.

I hope that this helps!

Ah! Thank you so much! That worked perfectly! I feel sort of stupid now, but now I know if that ever happens again. (:

The same thing happened to me. I almost lost it when I couldn't figure out why my action bar was messed up. When I finally finished the quest I was on it went back to normal and I felt like such an idiot. LOL

Did you find it challenging to adapt to these quest-specific action bars, and how did you feel after realizing it was related to a specific quest?
