Link in the article is being overwritten automatically by the system

Andrew Ronson

Hey guys,

I have a weird issue here, hopefully you would be able to assist me with it.

The problem is that when i put a certain link A into the article, and click Save - confluence displays link B instead. When i click Edit - i see link A in the edit mode, if i click Preview or Save - link B is being displayed. Also i if insert link A as an URL address into the text link - system displays link B and redirects me there.

This issue happens on all pages and spaces in my confluence so it looks like there is an auto-replacement of these links hard-coded in the system. Not sure how it happened though, thinking that there might have been a conflict of simultaneous editing which resulted in one change overwriting the other one permanently.

Please advise if this is a bug or if there is anything i can do to solve this issue.

Hi @Andrew Ronson - Welcome to Community!

Yes, indeed this looks really weird. Did you check if similar behavior is on a different browser? Is it same for all users? What would happen if you try from different network? What would happen if you would paste link B and try to edit/save?

Andrew Ronson

Yup, i tried it in different browsers and the behavior is still the same. This issue occurs for all users and it does not seem to be network related. If i paste link B i am able to edit/save it without any problem, i mean it does not change to link A, it just works normally.

Anything special with this link A? What is weird that all users have the same problem on all pages .. So it looks like something is cached across whole instance. Did you tried to rebuild your cache in Confluence?

I tried to flush cache using confluence administration page (and it did not work) but i did not consider rebuilding the cache the way you suggested. I will definitely try this as an option. Thanks for the advice!
