Cannot publish page - keep getting error Edited

[César Enrique José Duarte Jardim]

Since Tuesday I haven't been able to publish any page on Confluence. I keep getting the same error "There was an error processing the request."

What is causing this problem? Is anyone else having the same issue?

I've tried everything, including creating a new page and copy-pasting the content in. Nothing worked.

[Nick Mosher]

Strangely enough I was able to work around this issue by

1. Selecting everything on the page (Ctrl+A)
2. Copying and pasting it right back in place (Ctrl+C then Ctrl+V)

Then I was able to save, no problem.

I hope this works for you too.

[Florian Schröck]

Thank you very much, this worked for us as well!

[Deleted user]

Worked for me too.

[Yasin Bashir]

Brilliant, worked for me too.

[Jordan Berkley]

[Hima23]

Time saver! Thank you!

[Jan Zandvliet]

Hi Nick,

Great! It worked for me as well. 

[Alan_Pauza]

Awesome - thanks - worked for me too!  That's been bugging me for a few weeks - just on once page!

[Andrew Zibuda]

Chiming in to say this also just worked for us, although it makes no sense at all...Thanks!

[Aleksandr Zhuravlev]

Holy crap, it works!

[Consuelo_Lennox]

I have too much to copy and paste i.e. tabs and expanding links and etch... has there been a fix put into place?

[Howard Peterson]

Amazing that Worked!

[Kim_Kerr]

YES! Worked! Thank you! Saved my @$$!

[Manish_V]

Works like a charm, :D
Thank You!

strangely it did not work for me.

[Benjamin Leff]

unfortunately, that didn't work for me. instead, i copied the link to the confluence page i was editing, pasted it into a new tab in my browser, and clicked published. i then closed the first tab.

that worked. 

[Krishan Harry]

I'm here to say that my changes are being auto-saved, but the publish button (or close, or options (...)) buttons are not working.  I've tried pasting into a new tab, and even creating a new page.  I am unable to publish anything at the moment.

[Trevan_Householder]

@Benjamin Leff Your solution worked for me as well.  The others did not work for me (cloud).  Thanks!

[Azzy Ghiasvand]

This solution does not work for me.  Is there a fix?

[Azzy Ghiasvand]

Can Atlassian fix this issue?  stop releasing low-quality product and keep adding features that are not useful.

[Robert Reiner -smartics-]

Have you had a look in the logfile? Sometimes the error message there is more verbose.

I have problems saving a page if there is a number of macros in a 'problematic' configuration (see Problem saving a Confluence Page?). But the error message I get is a little different. Nonetheless you may want to check it.

[bipin_brahmanandan_allianz_com]

Getting the same error message from today onwards :(

[Doga Ozer]

Doesn't work for me since, I'm editing within a macro table. Any ideas on how I can do this method through my way?

[Fei_CHEN]

I hit the same problem too. I noticed that the update button worked after removed the user mention (@myname) from the draft. 

Env:

Confluence 6.6.2

Language: Chinese Simplified

My user name is in Chinese characters.

[Fei_CHEN]

The user mention is in a section in page layout

[Janet_Albion]

Hi Fei Chen,

Please check if you can find the following trace in $confluence_home/logs:

com.atlassian.confluence.content.render.xhtml.XhtmlException: RuntimeException occurred while transforming editor format to storage format (null)

If the trace is there, we would recommend to check if  CONFSERVER-54133 affecting you.

[Olga Fedorechko]

Revert to the previous page version helped me.

[Marco Schuler]

A coworker of mine had the same issue because his page name wasn't unique. Make sure you don't have page name duplicates.

Easier to open the same page in a new browser (should come up with 'Unpublished changes'), click edit and then save.

Cutting and pasting risks loss of formatting and data.
