Why I see anonymous users uploaded pictures to my confluence space?
Asked by Megha Jaiswal:

I've created account on Jira scrum. I was searching for the place to upload my documents and learnt the help is confluence. I've created that account yesterday and today I see there are few images which are uploaded by anonymous users. Isn't Confluence my private space, how does those files appeared in my space. Isn't secure to user Jira for some private work.????? see the attachment below![image.png](/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/82434i1CD0753B23B39F42/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "image.png")

and welcome to the community! So don't worry for now. Looking at the time stamp of the uploads and the file names I can tell you that these are default pictures. They will be added to the homepage of the first space of your Confluence.

But you should still make yourself familiar with the way [public access](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/setting-up-public-access-934718729.html), [product access,](https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/update-product-access-settings-744721629.html) and [space permissions](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/space-permissions-overview-724764760.html) work. :)

Best, Max

Content by label macro not working for certain labels
Asked by matt.thorne:

I've got labels on all my help pages depending on the group they need to be in, then I have a selection of content by labels macros set up to make it easy to find all related pages.

In 90% of my macros I am seeing all the pages but for one page and the 3 labels on it don't show in the macro. If I select a different label it will show so I think it's the labels themselves. Also if I add my new labels to a different page they show in the macro so it must be the page (I think).

I have tried adding new labels, and removing all the existing ones and re-adding them, both to no avail.

Confluence Cloud (2020): How to add CSS that works to the PDF Stylesheet in a page
Asked by Tara L Conklin:

I have spent hours searching the Confluence forums and help pages with no success. Nearly everything I find dates back to 2018.

I have the latest page editor in Confluence Cloud.

I would like to customize the CSS for my pages (NOT at the Global setting) using the PDF StyleSheet under

Space Settings \> Look and Feel

I want to change my headings and fonts on the page using this snippet of CSS code.

h1 {  
font-size: 2.5em; /\* 40px/16=2.5em \*/  
font-family: Impact, Charcoal, sans-serif;  
text-decoration: underline;  
text-shadow: 3px 2px lightgray;  
color: #048DB2;  
}

h2 {  
font-size: 1.75em; /\* 30px/16=1.875em \*/  
font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif;  
}

p {  
font-size: 0.875em; /\* 14px/16=0.875em \*/  
font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif;  
line-height: 1.5;  
letter-spacing: 1.5px;  
}

I've tried everything and nothing is working.


Answers:
author: Craig Beible
body: I think the original poster was saying that there isn't a way to style the Confluence page itself (NOT the PDF export).

I, too, am having the same issue... I cannot find a way to do something simple like change the default font size for a Confluence page. All of the forums are from 2018 or older and all refer to options that no longer exist in the newer versions of Confluence.

Any suggestions?


author: Shannon S
body: Hi Tara,

Thank you for contacting us about this.

There are some further instructions from our [Advanced PDF Export Customizations](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/advanced-pdf-export-customizations-724764827.html) page. Have you seen the instructions there? Perhaps they can help you to customize your PDF export.

You can also [upload a custom font](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/create-a-pdf-in-another-language-724764828.html) and refer to it using the method in the article above.

I hope that helps; let me know if you have any questions about that.

catalina.out flooded with token recognition error at +
Asked by Collene Hansen:

Hi everyone,

For the last hour, our catalina.out log of our Confluence server is being flooded with the two lines:

line 1:12 token recognition error at: '+'

line 1:10 token recognition error at: '+'

Nothing out of the ordinary in the Confluence logs. Does anyone know what could be the cause?


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Collene,

Thank you for bringing this to us.

Are you encountering any issues with your Confluence site at this time? I found another customer in the past that had this error, but their Confluence site was crashing, but we weren't able to tell if it was related to that error.

In the end, we compared the error to what was happening in the atlassian-confluence.log file. In that case, it was related to a theming add-on that was installed. Again, we weren't able to determine if the two were related, but the customer didn't come back to us after that time.

Could you compare what is occurring in your atlassian-confluence.log? You can also try to enable [Safe Mode](https://confluence.atlassian.com/upm/disabling-and-enabling-apps-273875716.html) on your site and see if it's not being caused by an add-on.

Regards,

Shannon

Can zeros be suppressed in two dimensional Jira Charts?
Asked by Daniel Spooner:

I am using a two dimensional Jira Chart on a Confluence page and would like to suppress the zeros to make the overall appearance cleaner. Is there a way to do this?


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello [@Daniel Spooner](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3464138) !

As I understand, you need to hide the values that are equal to zero from your graphs. However, it does not seem to be possible for us to create rules on what is or is not displayed within the results.

The behavior I was able to observe is that the axis you selected will display regardless of value available for them.

If you want to have more insights on the macro, take a look into our documentation:

Cannot download (or close) JPG or PNG files when click on attachment

No users in our organization can download (or close) JPEG or PNG files from Confluence cloud/document sections once in preview (there is no X or download icon).

This occurs in Chrome or IE. Anyone have this happen and have any ideas?

adding a global filter in a activity stream
Asked by Nicolaj Hvid:

Im trying to add a filter to the activity stream gadget.

I want to restrict the gadget only to show the activities related to that specific space.

To my understanding the easy way to do this simple task is to add a global filter in the gadget but that seems not to work.

I can create the filter *space is name of space* and click + and save.

But still the activity stream gadget shows all activities in my entire confluence.

.


Answers:
author: Jacob
body: [@Shannon S](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/510046) I am trying something similar. I just want it add a filter that does not show a specific space and pages within the space.   
I think it is Global filter and then space is not.. (space name)   
Then everything but that space name will be shoved in the activity stream, right?

comments: author: Shannon S
body: Hi Jacob,

Welcome to Atlassian Community and thank you for following up on this.

That's correct. When you set the space "is not" field, then the Confluence data that shows in your Activity Stream macro will be for any activity that happened outside of that space.

Example of my settings:

![CleanShot 2020-04-20 at 14.48.32.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/91236i38F18B7172C5125E/image-dimensions/393x319?v=v2 "CleanShot 2020-04-20 at 14.48.32.png")

In this case, it shows all Confluence activity *except* the activity within **Test Project** space. Note that I also unchecked **Jira** under **Available Streams** because I didn't want it to display my Jira data.

Make sure to click **Save** under **Display Options** at the bottom left of your filter screen in to save any changes you make. You need to do this *before* clicking **Save** at the bottom right of the macro screen. Otherwise, any changes you make won't be saved.

Let me know if you have any trouble.

Shannon


author: Darryl St_ Pierre
body: Hi [@Nicolaj Hvid](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2901436) ,

comments: author: Shannon S
body: Hi [@Nicolaj Hvid](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2901436),

Are you still having a problem with your Activity Stream Gadget?

If so, you can provide an example of your current macro settings, as Darryl asked previously, so we can see what the issue might be.

If you were able to resolve it, please let us know, so it can help other people in the future if they have the same problem.

author: Michael Wittstock

Is there a way to export a complete space to a folder structure, with each page as individual PDF?
Asked by Bert Muylaert:

We would like to archive our project confluence project information but still want it in readable and searchable document form. Also, we don't want it as one big PDF for one space.

What would be ideal is a folder structure, which represents the structure of the pages (as shown on the left in Confluence), and a PDF export of the page itself, including the comments, actions, etc. It would be super if all the attachments would also be copied into the folder structure.

Anybody ever seen something like this?

Grtz


Answers:
author: Mike Bowen
body: Hi [@Bert Muylaert](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3660316)

Edit: I meant to say there is no option to export to PDF per page, it is only everything in one PDF.

Have you tried exporting to **HTML**?

It creates a big zip file, but you can extract to a folder and run index.html through your browser, which shows the structure you would normally see on the left side of the page in Confluence.

Also all pages are linked exactly how they would be in confluence, just running out of your folder.

Each page is searchable, although you don't have a global search, but then again you could use your PC or File Explorer to search stuff.

All attachments are there on the page at the bottom.

Like with a PDF export you can specify the pages you want to export with HTML.

I guess you could find an app (outside of Atlassian than can batch convert every HTML file to PDF and that would resolve your problem (I think), but as individual HTML pages the solution is there.

I export one of our spaces into separate PDF files but it's a bit of a manual task. In the screen shot above from Mike, I choose *PDF* for the format and then *Custom Export*, and then clink on the parent page(s) that I want in the PDF. I have to do this a number of times to get the correct PDF files generated. I don't know if this would include the comments, actions, etc, as we don't use these.

How to exclude one specific file type in CQL?
Asked by Manuel:

Hi all,

I'm trying to exclude one certain file type (\*.json) from the CQL search results. I already looked up here, but did'n find any working solution:

<https://developer.atlassian.com/server/confluence/advanced-searching-using-cql/>

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-search-syntax-158720.html>

<https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf72/confluence-search-fields-982323357.html>

Has anyone an idea?

Thank you!


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Manuel,

Happy to try and help you with this!

According to [How to Search Specific Attachment Type in Confluence](https://confluence.atlassian.com/confkb/how-to-search-specific-attachment-type-in-confluence-975027237.html), you can use the following to narrow down a specific attachment:

    /.*<attachment type>.*/ 

I then used the information from [Confluence Search Syntax](https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-search-syntax-158720.html) to negate that, by putting a minus (-) sign in front of that attachment type. It returned all files that were NOT the attachment type.

Thus, I think this would work for you:

    -/.*json.*/

Can you give that a try and let me know how that goes?

Shannon

comments: author: Manuel
body: Hello Shannon,

that's exactly what I was looking for! Works perfectly fine for me!

Thank you!

PS: Just use a "NOT" instead of a "-" (minus). ;-)

Both NOT and minus (-) should work, but whichever one is easiest for you! I tested and can confirm both.

Glad to hear it helped, and have a pleasant rest of your week.
