You must be using some old version of ConfiForms which is not compatible with your Confluence version and which you need to uninstall first

And then installing the compatible version

body: Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

How did you do the upgrade?

Do all the directories (the home directory and the installation directory) still have the right ownership throughout (they should belong to the account that is running Confluence)

Is your Confluence being run on the right version of Java?

Have you upgraded all the apps installed as well? (at the very least the Confiforms app)?

I upgraded by running the exe.

There seems to be access.

17.0.8.1

I upgraded the Confluence app. Where can I check Confiform?


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: You'll need to go to admin -\> manage apps.

If your Confluence is so broken that it can not do that, then your next step is to try starting Confluence without the apps loaded. If it is Confiforms causing the problem, then this will enable you to get into the admin screens and get an updated version, although you'll need to restart Confluence to get it enabled.

Have a run through <https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-manually-remove-malfunctioning-add-ons-113705118.html> - do not worry about your data, removing an app does not remove the data you have for it.
