Can I add a live clock on my dashboard? Or multiple showing different time zones?
Asked by Emily Reynolds:

Looking to add a page displaying live clocks from different time zones. Something similar to the attached photo. I can add a link to the website but I'd rather have it on display and live tracking.

The type of your confluence would be important. Server or cloud!  
Because here the possibilities are very different.

body: If it is the server, you can do various things with macro html.

author: repi
body: This is only possible if you have confluence in the server version. Then you can enter your own html code using html macro.


author: Arthur Mack

Locked out of Confluence
Asked by Roei Kessler:

I'm trying to migrate my server from cloud to on-premise. After importing all the data I can't login to the confluence server. I have followed the instruction on how to enter the recovery password but it doesn't seem to be working.

This is what I have added to the setenv.sh file

CATALINA_OPTS="-Datlassian.recovery.password=1qaz@WSX ${CATALINA_OPTS}"

The confluence is running on as a container.

Anyone has encountered this issue?


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Roei,

Welcome to Atlassian Community, and thanks for raising this with us.

When you say that Confluence is running on a container, is this in Docker, or something else? Can you show me exactly the commands you used in the container to update setenv.sh?

An example in Docker might be like this:  

```
docker run -e JVM_SUPPORT_RECOMMENDED_ARGS=-Datlassian.recovery.password=admin -v /host/data/confluence:/var/atlassian/application-data/confluence --name="confluence" -d -p 8090:8090 -p 8091:8091 atlassian/confluence-server
```

Otherwise, you may also be able to recover your rights using the database recovery method, which you can find in the Confluence 6.\* documentation below:

* [Restore Passwords to Recover Admin User Rights](https://confluence.atlassian.com/conf63/restore-passwords-to-recover-admin-user-rights-929729565.html)

Looking forward to hearing from you soon!

Take care,

Shannon

Return to previous navigation
Asked by Fred Rush:

There is limited vertical space, and the new navigation takes more of the space than it is worth. The vertical navigation could be pushed off the screen, so it was out of the way when not needed. The new navigation is always in the way, and cannot be hidden for the 99.9% of the time it is not needed.

How do we re-enable the less intrusive navigation?


Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello [@Fred Rush](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1184814) ! As I understand, you want to revert to the previous navigation for our Cloud Platform. It was possible to revert to the previous navigation for some time, but your Confluence Site has likely reached the timeframe for the conversion to the new style.

According to posts about the release of the New Navigation, the complete rollout will be finished by the end of June and will not be possible to opt-out of that.

You can also check more details about this here:

Here is an excerpt from the blog:
> *Thanks to 300 of you who participated! Overwhelmingly, feedback was positive - over 95% of early users preferred the new navigation to the current one.*

I also encourage you to leave your feedback about the new navigation there. All feedback is welcome.

During tests, the new navigation was *positively reviewed by 95% of the feedback group* . The group was ++*recruited back in November 2019*++ to use a Google Chrome Plugin that simulated the new navigation without actually updating their site:

Using a 10-User Jira Server instance as a backup for a 250-user server instance
Asked by m.kitavujja:

Hello,

is it possible to use a 10-User JIRA server instance as a backup/repilca of a 250-User server instance?

We would be using it as a backup (and/or archive) for our projects, schemes etc. but not for our user directory, because in case of a breakdown, its more important for us to keep the data rather than all users. Also pricewise it would be attractive.

thanks in advance!

Michael


Answers:
author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: No. This will not work the way you would like it to.

But, there is a far better option. You can create a standby for production Jira using your "development" licence. This matches your production licence (250 users), and has several uses, including backup/failover/standby servers. Go to your "my.atlassian" account, find your current licence and look beneath it for a "developer licence" link.

comments: author: m.kitavujja
body: Hi Nic,

thanks for your answer.

Is a development licence included when purchasing your jira server instance or must it be purchased separately?

thank you for your advice!


author: Nic Brough -Adaptavist-
body: It is included in your commercial licence.


author: m.kitavujja
body: Thanks for your help! :)


author: Anurag Jalan
body: Yes, using developer license is the best option. However, do note that the instance using developer license is not meant to be used by end users. This should be used for backup/ standby/ patching etc.

Read the excerpt included pages as an external user
Asked by B Linssen:

Actually you _can_see the actual Knowledge Base page as an external user via de Jira Servicedesk. What you cannot see is the text that is included from else via an excerpt include macro.


Answers:
author: Matt Reiner [K15t]
body: [@B Linssen](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3977538)

Is the included content from the space that you've linked to your JSD?

If so, I would guess it's not showing because JSD users can only view content from that space.

comments: author: B Linssen
body: Thanks for your reply.

Yes, the external users read the content via the JSD.

But I suppose there must be a workaround for this. It would be nice the excerpt the info from the confluence spaces. In this way we can adapt the info if necessary in the confluence original pages and it is taken over via the excerpt option and then accessible via the servicedesk search option for our users.

Unsupported Content Error Message
Asked by Carolynn Kemmerer:

Hello,

Is there any plan to fix this issue? Seems pretty clear it is a bug and people use this functionality.


Answers:
author: Ang?lica Luz
body: Hello Carolynn,

Thank you for reaching out to Atlassian Community!

This issue is actually a bug and there are many things that can cause the error:

* [Unsupported content with the new editor](https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-63036)

In the case from [this thread](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/Unsupported-Content-Error-Message/qaq-p/1254487?), what was causing was nested bullets within a macro.
> Turns out the issue was nested bullets within a macro - 2nd+ layered bullets aren't supported yet. In addition, there were also issues with certain strings of text that use symbols in JIRA issue titles that when nested in the macro through a JIRA macro, caused a section to freeze, therefore not properly show.

If your case is different, please let us know more details about what you are using on the page or ask your site administrator to create a ticket with [support](https://support.atlassian.com/contact), so they can access your Confluence and check what may be causing the issue.

Why anchor link always contains version of page?
Asked by Pavel Wasserbauer:

I made a confluence page with lots of anchors and created linking in page on them. When linking I always use just #achorName since it is on the same page. But when I save the page the links are generated on a specific version of a page using pageId:

"<https://confluence.mydomain.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=61833219#ICSInterfaceStructures-vFxRate>"

Then the link pushes me to first version of my page.

How to avoid this?

I can't modify anymore my blog page
Asked by Eric Dumenil:

I have created months ago a blog page and I frequeltnly modify it (last time 11th of june) using the "modify" link/button.

<https://wikidhatim.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/UDT/blog/2019/09/10/1335721997/Points%2Bd%2Battention>

Answers:
author: Diego
body: Hello [@Eric Dumenil](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/305012) ! As I understand, the "Edit" button is not present in a blog post that you created and frequently applied changes to. Just to make sure we are talking about the same button, here is a screenshot of the one I am referring to:

Since you posted this question on Monday, June 22nd I would like to understand if the issue is still present.

If it is, there are some things that we could try:
> 1. *Access the same blog post using another browser*
> 2. *Check if your account is authenticated*
> 3. *Check if your account is authenticated and is the correct one*
> 4. *Check if the edit button is present in another blog posts or pages*
> 5. *Check if there are no new restrictions applied to the blog post itself.*

Let us hear from you!

comments: author: Eric Dumenil
body: Hello Diego,

thx for your answer.

I still have the problem and ideed, this edit button isn't still there anymore.

Moreover, I have other pages (not "blog" pages) but usual confluence pages where this button is here and I can modify the pages.

My login iscorrect and is correctly authenticated.

I'm using chrome, have tested in private connexion and with Edge, with the same problem always.

This is very strange...

(I know there was a new confluence version last week, and we had uers having some problems accessing to this blog page during some hours. Don't know if this is related)

How can I check your point 5. about new restrictions ?

Thank you for your help!

[Confluence Cloud] Using macro "Style" changed the page margin
Asked by Ravia Xu:

Hi, I was trying to use macro "Style" to change the font size of H5 and H6 since the default from Confluence is too small. It is smaller than the body font size, I still don't understand why.

So I added the macro to the page, and put these styles:

|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| ``` .wiki-content h5 { margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: .1em; font-size: 1.0em;}.wiki-content h6 { margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: .1em; font-size: 1.0em; text-transform: capitalize;} ``` |

I managed to get the size that I wanted, however, it changed the margin of my page. Do you know why and how to fix it? I am not familiar with CSS, if there is a better solution to manage the style, please tell me. I will really appreciate it, Thanks.

![001.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/99848i9B7057ED204A8A9B/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "001.png")


Answers:
author: Shannon S
body: Hello Ravia,

Sorry to hear you're having trouble getting your CSS to work. Happy to help!

In your example, besides changing the font size, you are requesting the top margin change 1x the current size, and the bottom one 1/10th the current size. (refer to [CSS units](https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css_units.asp) if you are unsure.) You can see this in your CSS below:

```
.wiki-content h5 { margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: .1em; font-size: 1.0em;}.wiki-content h6 { margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: .1em; font-size: 1.0em; text-transform: capitalize;}
```

If you don't want to change the margins, then you just need to remove that information from your CSS.

If you *only* want to change the font size, then you don't need to include those extra parameters. Have a look at [CSS font-size Property](https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/pr_font_font-size.asp) for more information on that.

You can switch from using "em" to measure, if you prefer pixels, or a percentage. The **CSS units** article I shared should be able to help you with that if you have any trouble!

Take care,

Shannon

author: Najjar _Innovura_
body: Hi [@Bart_Vrancken](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3976557)

When you install confluence with default settings it runs Confluence Tomcat server on port 8090. and users (client machines) access Confluence through 8090

And synchrony comes out of the box running on port 8091 and should not be opened publicly since users (client machine) communicate with Synchrony through Confluence Tomcat Server and confluence contacts synchrony internally.

So opening port 8091 will not do any impact unless you are hosting your Synchrony separately or using DataCenter
