Broken blog post cannot be deleted - $helper.page.title

Markus Raab

Hi,

unfortunately something went wrong today, and I have no idea how to fix it.

I have a blog post without content and the automatic title "$helper.page.title".

I cannot delete it, I cannot hide it, I can move it but it does not change anything (it still appears in the original space), I can change the permissions but still everyone is able to see this blog post.

 

Any idea how to get rid of it?

 

Confluence Server 6.2.4

 

Best

We may end up digging in your database but let's try some cleverer strategies first.

See if it will let you get the page ID:

1. Go to ... menu from the blog page
2. Choose Page information
3. Page ID will be in URL like: http://confluence.example.com/pages/viewinfo.action?pageId=65576

Use the page ID in the options from Editing or Deleting a Page That Won't Render.

See if you can add a title and then delete it, since the error message says it needs a title in the screen shot.

It may also help to reindex - it is suspicious that the post still appears in the space from which it was moved. Please try reindexing from this guide: Content Index Administration, and if you can afford a restart, rebuilding the content indexes from scratch as described in How to Rebuild the Content Indexes From Scratch on Confluence Server.
