Blog Macro doesn't show all blog entries when "Maximum Number of Blog Posts" is set to 100
Asked by Jan-Lucas Panskus:

I created a blog page with the blog posts macro. The only restrictions I made are labels = \[mylabel\] and spaces = \[myspace1\], \[myspace2\]. The maximum number of blog posts was initially set to 100. I didn't change that because I only have 23 blog posts I need there.

After the team created all the blog posts and attached the label to them, not all of the blog posts where displayed at my blog page. I tried to figure out why some of the blog posts wheren't shown so I set the maximum number of blog posts to 1000 then to 25 then to 50, 75, 99, 101 and all the time all blog posts where shown. Only when I set it to 100 some of the blog posts disappeared.

Can anybody help me with this strange problem?

Restrict access for anonymous users
Asked by Wade Saunders:

We are creating a public facing knowledge base for our clients so I have enabled anonymous users which works fine however I need to be able to restrict them from leaving the "Space".

**For Example:** If an anonymous user removes the space key from the URL they get access to the dashboard displaying the **All Updates** page. I know I can restrict them from being able to do anything but I don't want them to be able to get out of the space at all


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: Confluence provides limited access to places the anonymous user might find useful - search, the dashboard, etc. The only way to block that access would be to do it at the web-server side. If you have a proxy, you can block the non-space pages. It's not particularly useful to do so though.
Change request: Default Confluence Section width to Fullscreen
Asked by Adam Rudd:

Hi Atlassian,

As a Business Analyst I'm using Confluence a lot. Every single page I create uses sections (which is awesome), and each section requires me to mouse up to the "section type" option in order to change from the default "Single Column" view to "Full Width"

This takes me approximately 3 seconds per section, per page. On average I create around 10 sections per page, which is around 30 seconds per page.

If even 1000 users are doing this, that's 8.3 HOURS clicking a button which was perfectly fine before the introduction of single column.

Do you have telemetry on how often people make this change? It's driving me nuts having to do this every time, and given people are generally on 16:9 screens, makes sense that others would have a similar gripe.

Thanks in advance,

Adam

Answers:
author: Igor M.
body: Hello,

If you are using Confluence server, can you check your space orphaned pages if your home page is there? **From Space Tools \> Content Tools \> Orphaned Pages** if your home accidentally went there?

If not, you can copy your desired home page from other space into new IT space and then use **Reorder Pages** section to move it to root or page tree, after that, go to **Overview** section and change your Home page to new page.

Is it possible to display just the subset issues of a Jira epic?
Asked by Johny Jacques:

So basically what I am trying to do is create a roll up page in Confluence for our managers to get insight on our epics. Now our epics have multiple Stories and Tasks associated so for example, Epic #007 has 5 tasks, I am looking for a filter that will allow me to display just the tasks under that epic in a table on my Confluence page.


Answers:
author: AnnWorley
body: Hi Johny,

If I understand correctly, a Jira Issue Macro with the proper JQL should do the trick. I always test my JQL in Jira first, where we have the handy syntax helper, then add it to Confluence using the Jira Issue/Filter macro. For this my JQL was:

```
"Epic Name" = epictest OR "Epic Name" = epictest2
```

In Jira:

Do notifications for @mention users occur for each newly created comment?
Asked by Rex Card:

Does a user get a notification each time an @mention is placed in a new comment, even if it is the same user?

-------------------------------------------------------

For example I create a page (and save) and @mention a user in the first comment. I assume they get a notification.

If I update the page again (and save) or not update the page can I create another comment with an @mention and assume the mentioned user (same as user in the first comment) will get another update?


Answers:
author: Zak Laughton
body: Hi Rex!

Yes, mentioned users will get a notification for each comment they are mentioned in. If you create two comments, each mentioning that user, the user will receive two notifications. This is true regardless of whether or not the page content has been updated.

I hope this helps!

Can I Add Tasks to a Table?
Asked by Jason Shechter:

I'm trying to create a lightweight requirements review tool in my cloud environment. I've been reviewing the PRD with the team and commenting as actions come up. The PRD is formatted in a table for readability. I'd like to be able to assign tasks in one of the table's cells but it appears the the task macro doesn't work inside of a table. Is there a way around this? An alternate method to create a list of items with an associated user and date? I can add an @mention and a date but I'm not sure if I can create a search to gather those items later.

comments: author: Jason Shechter
body: Hi Zak,

Thanks for responding. I created a table on a blank page, then added an "@mention" with a "//date" next to it in one of the cells. When I run the task report macro it doesn't find those tasks. The macro will find tasks that are created in a meeting notes page though.

Is there a way to format the "@mention + //date" to get the task report to find the tasks in the table?

Thanks,

Jason

Why does the font size of odd numbers change when i export spaces as pdf
Asked by Lebende Legenden:

Whenever i try to export a space as pdf every title with odd font-size gets changed to a relativ slot. for example 11px produces 10.66px while 12 produces 12 and 13 produces 13.33.

Is that a feature or something i can manipulate in any way as i need a font-size of 11.

Best regards Jakob


Answers:
author: Zak Laughton
body: Hi Lebende,

I understand you are getting some inconsistent font sizes when setting the font sizes in the Confluence pdf layout and exporting the pages.

I noticed your size unit is in pixels ("px"). While this should get you a consistent size on most web and other screen-based content, it may give different results when applying it to a print format such as a pdf. Instead, I recommend using the font point unit (e.g. "11pt", "12pt", etc.) to have a more consistent sizing across print mediums.

More info on "px" vs "pt": [px -- em -- % -- pt -- keyword](https://css-tricks.com/css-font-size/).

-Zak

comments: author: Lebende Legenden
body: Hi Zak,

thanks in advance for your quick reply but that wont make the trick.

I tried every unit px-em-pt-% and got the same results every single time.  
I even tried using different numbers like 11.33px or pt to maybe get another output but the numbers get rounded into "slots" wich i couldnt leave (e.g. 11.33px -\> 11px -\>10.66;  
11.5pt -\> 12pt-\> 12pt; 13.1pt -\> 13pt -\> 13.33)

I also thought about the possibility that it has something to do with me choosing Calibri as font or maybe my calibri.ttf was broken but i tried the behavior also with Arial and Helvetica.

Also there are no posts to this topic as far as i can see and it wouldn't worry me either,   
but the exported Pdf will be part of a longer file and it's kinda important for me to have a consistent font-size and styling.

Delete Space from backend
Asked by Rilwan Ahmed:

I am using confluence server 6.3.4 and mysql Db. I tried deleting a space and when the process was running due to some other reason confluence was stopped. After restarting the confluence and when restarted the delete process it failed with error in log, "unable to find attached...". Now the process is failing. Is there any method to delete the space again?


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hi Rilwan,

As a workaround, are you able to [manually delete the space](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/after-a-failed-space-import-it-s-not-possible-to-re-import-because-of-leftover-space-data-217743668.html)? It may be the deletion was partial and there are some remnants in the database.

We don't generally recommend going to the database to alter things, but this might be needed in this case. Please be sure to make a full backup before proceeding and let us know if you have any trouble.

+1 for support ticket is my vote for creating a support request with atlassian.

Unfortunately the community cannot help you here since only the nice folks at atlassian can access the logs for the failed import in the cloud environment. The detailed error message should be present in the application log.

What is the size of your xml (exported from the source system)? The xml might be too big to be imported. Site import in Confluence Cloud is restricted to a maximum **200 megabytes** for the uncompressed XML files inside the backup zip file. This is the 'data size' of the backup.

Have you tried to import your data [space by space](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/import-a-confluence-space-724765531.html).

What goal are they trying to accomplish that can't be done with drag-and-drop or the Browse button?
