HTTP Status 400 - Square brackets in page title

Question

Hi all

Some users have mistakenly placed square brackets in a few page titles and published them - these pages are no longer accessible/editable to change the title back, as when we try to click on them to open, we get a HTTP Status 400 - Bad Request page.

Please could someone provide some guidance on how we can resolve this?

Thank you so much in advance!

Hi @Ketan Chudasama ,

welcome to the Atlassian community!

Another possible solution is to find those pages in Confluence DB, remove characters from title and then restart confluence.

Hi @Ketan Chudasama

I've seen this in the past and I think you are facing this issue related to the proxy server.
