Links broken when converting to HTML

Deleted user February 3, 2022

I am having the same problem as 

I would like Shannons help with this.

 

We do NOT want the fully qualified link to appear, we want the relative link in all cases, but it arbitrarily exports in two different ways.

 

I have added myself as watcher on the JIRA< it seems this bug is not yet fixed.

@[deleted] Welcome to the Atlassian Community

The only time I have seen this happen is when the link is added to the page with the full url using the web link and not linking to the page using the content search.  I believe if you just update the URL on the pages that this is occurring on you will fix the issue.

Hi Brant, we are talking about literally thousands of URLs over an entire Confluence space.  These documents were done by another writer, and now we need them exported to HTML.  I have tried doing a global find and replace in Notepad++ to strip out the leading URL (obscura.atlassian/net/xxx/xxx ) which did not work.  And, as the OP stated, it doesn't happen on all links just some of them, it seems quite arbitrary.  We also tried a test with manually re-inserting a few links but that did not work either and a manual process is not the solution we need.

@[deleted] Are the links that are not working a web link as listed above?

Deleted user February 4, 2022

The links that don't work look like this:

 href="https://obscuradigital.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ICDK/pages/601096282/Design+Insights#

We just want Design+Insights

Stripping https://obscuradigital.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/ICDK/pages

doesn't work

Stripping "https://obscuradigital.atlassian.net/

doesn't work.

Reinserting doesn't work.
