Can't add images to a confluence page

Jerome Martins October 25, 2021

Hello,
For over a week now, I'm no longer able to add images to a Confluence page.
If using "/image" the widget doesn't appear to suggest an upload, if drag and drop from a folder, the image is not uploaded either.

I tried log off and on from my account, but it didn't solve the problem.

How can I proceed to integrate image files again?

Thank you.

Best regards,

Hi @Jerome Martins ,

Thanks for posting and welcome to the community.

It seems from the description that you are using New Editor, could you please try with '/files' and see if that works?

Please refer this guide - https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/display-files-and-images/ for reference.

Let me know if that helps.

Hi Paul, and thank you for your quick reply.

I tried with "/files" and apparently it's the same widget as "/image", the result is thus the same, meaning nothing appears on the page I'm editing.

In the editor I'm using the widget is called "Files & images".

Unfortunately, I didn't have better luck so far.

Thanks @Jerome Martins  for your prompt response.

Just to test -

  1. If you type '/files' you would see other options like profile picture or User Profile. Are these working as expected?
  2. One more thing, Could you please change the workspace, create a new workspace and try this under any new page to image upload and confirm if that works?

Thank you for these suggestions.

  1. the other options seem to be working even though in the dropdown menus I don't have any content. But at least a dialog box shows up when I pick these widgets.
  2. Tried uploading an image in a different Space and it worked. Would it be something to do with th permissions that I've been given for this Space?

Please check your global(if you are admin), space - space admin and page permissions and compare with the newly created one. It can be a page restriction issue.

Guide for these permissions check - https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/what-are-confluence-cloud-permissions-and-restrictions/.

Please let me know if that helps.

Welcome to the Atlassian Community @Jerome Martins On cloud, this functionality is currently working fine. Have you tried clearing your browsers cache and retry the operation ? or can you try the same operations on any other alternate browser to rule out the fact that its not a browser specific issue ? 

Jerome Martins October 25, 2021

Hi Kishan, and thank you for the quick reply.

Following your advice I did the following tests:

  • Clear current browser cache and retry - no success
  • Same computer different browser - no success
  • Same browser different computer - no success

Unfortunately, I didn't have better luck so far.

Thank you @Jerome Martins for testing the options. So its not a browser issue. Please check if you have Attachments Add permission on the space where you are having issues.
