I have Confluence 5.7.1 (with Questions 2.10) In http://server/plugins/servlet/upm/manage/all I can see the following add-ons have the warning "This add-on is not compatible with your Confluence instance. An update for this add-on has already been requested from the vendor": * Basic Macros * Chart Plugin * Confluence Blogging RPC Plugin * Confluence browser fixes * Confluence Thread Dump Plugin * Confluence Usage Stats * IM Presence NG Plugin * Layout Macros * Live Search Macros * User Lister I wonder why is Confluence bundled with so many incompatible plugins? Is it on purpose or something is wrong the my installation? I have a trouble with my Confluence - it doesn't contain any macros in Macro Browser except Code macro. So I'm searching for something suspicious in my installation.

nav[aria-label="Primary Navigation"] { padding: 0; & ul { list-style: none; width: 100%; display: flex; flex-direction: row; justify-content: start; align-items: start; gap: 30px; padding: 0; & li { margin: 0; } & ul li { list-style: none; } } }

Why is Confluence (5.7.1) bundled with so many incompatible plugins

A clean installation is not bundled like that. I suspect you've upgraded from an older version, and carried over the older versions of the addons with it?

It could be the case. Is it safe to leave them? Can it be related with empty macro browser?

Nic Brough -Adaptavist-

I'd update them to the what the UPM recommends. It could be breaking the macro browser, yes. If a plugin providing a macro is incompatible, then it would drop that macro from the list. But there are other thing which can cause that too, and I wouldn't expect some broken plugins to leave the list totally empty. I'd update the addons first, then re-test the browser.

Sergei Dorogin

The problem is that they can't be updated. There are "Disable" and "Request update" buttons for them.
