Problem

The Macro on my Confluence page does not work. It gives me an error of "Error rendering Macro" or "Unknown Macro", or a similar error message.

Solution

Please search for an alternative macro or another way to present your information in your Confluence page. It is most likely that it has been intentionally disabled as it is a legacy macro (no longer compatible, too old), or is a security risk.

Please keep the following in mind:

  1. If your Macro is showing something other than an error similar to these examples, there may be a different issue, and you can open a ticket with the support team.
  2. Please edit any page that has a Macro that is no longer working, and replace the macro with something else, or remove it completely.
  3. Below is a list of SOME of the Macros that have been disabled, as well as a recommended replacement. Please note that this list may not be complete due to the nature of how the Macros were disabled in the past.
