How to remove anchors in Confluence

Question

Hi,

Do you have any idea why are some of the hyperlink turned to grey and its not pointing to anywhere? the link initially move from another confluence by copying the wikimarkup and insert to new confluence. its actually an attachment link, attachment was downloaded and attached back to the page but the link remained in grey color and if i edit page and take the cursor to the link , the selection of “unlink” does not appear at all. So, I can’t remove the link in any other way as to delete and rewrite the text.

Please advice.

br,

Michelle

Hello,

Hello Meech,

What version of Confluence are you coming from and going to?  I can mock up an upgrade in my test systems and see if I can replicate this behavior.  I know of an issue that can break headings that are wrapped in macros.  Are you using a macro to create the link on the headings or just the norrmal link syntax?

Hi Daniel,

Thanks. Another way to remove the link is to rewrite the text. We are just curious and wonder why is the unlink or edit link option does not appeared? if this is a bug or if this is a known issue.
