Layouts and single column segments

[Julie d'Antin [Elements]]

Update!

You can just delete column segments to go back to single wide.

I've been trying to reproduce some layout practices from Confluence Server on Confluence Cloud, and I'm not finding what I want.

In Confluence Server, I could have several different segments, perhaps the first in 2 equal columns, then the next one column (basically the entire page), and then a third with 3 columns.

If I changed the dimensions/layout of a segment (adding columns, for example), I could always return it to the single wide layout with the full square button.

But I can't seem to find that option with Confluence Cloud. If I create a new segment in 2 columns, I can change to different layouts except for the single wide.

Does the new editing interface in Confluence Cloud prevent you from creating new single wide segments?

For the moment my work around has been just to create a new page in Confluence Cloud since new pages have single wide layouts, but that doesn't help if I want different layouts, including single wide, to be included within one page.

Hi Robert,

Usually problem related with queue is not flushing, could be low memory and index culprit. To try to track this down, would you mind doing a rebuild of the content index from scratch? I believe it should do the trick there.

 I highly suggest that you schedule a downtime to perform it, because after the restart your users will not have the search available due the rebuild of the indexes.

   # Shut down your Confluence server.

   # (!) Make a backup of your <confluence-home>/index/plugin directory if it exists. This is where the Usage Tracking plugin stores it's index for the usage statistics and it cannot be rebuilt.

   # (!) If you're in Confluence 4.2 onwards, make a backup of your <confluence-home>/index/edge directory if it exists. This is where the index of Likes and Popular Content are stored and cannot be rebuilt.

   # Remove the <confluence-home>/index directory.

   # If in step 2, you have the <confluence-home>/index/plugin directory, create the <confluence-home>/index directory and copy in the backup of <confluence-home>/index/plugin directory made in step 2.

   # If in step 3, you have the <confluence-home>/index/edge directory, create the <confluence-home>/index directory and copy in the backup of <confluence-home>/index/edge directory made in step 3.

   # Remove the <confluence-home>/journal/ folder

   # Restart server.

    (i) A new index directory will be created upon restart of your application if it does not exist.

   # Now perform the *manual re-indexing* of your site to build a brand new index from scratch by going to _Cog Icon > Confluence Admin > Content Indexing_.

Cheers,

Agreed with after hours, hope to do it tonight. I have a set of things I do for Confluence problems (Hercules, google, previously answered answers.atlassian.com, reboot, etc) I used to rebuild them from scratch every other month or so need to add that back. Thanks! I will check it answered if it works. As far as memory, I have 4 GB on a Cent OS 7 box that's only purpose is to run Confluence. I can add more if need, the "top" command shows %MEM hanging around the 67% area.

Awesome, seems to have worked.

Also a quick note, when I do flush it is does send the email and when it gets down to under 40 or so it start sending them out in larger chucks (around 20 at a time or so). Is there a way to set how much email it sends out at once?
