How to remove Unknown macro: {XYZ} error in multiple confluence pages

[Pavan Kumar]

Hi All,

Couple of years back we have deleted few macro's which are used in many pages, We are getting "Unknown macro: {XYZ}" in all the pages how to get rid of these errors. 

Thanks in Advance,

Kumar

Edit the pages and remove the broken macro entries.

A slightly less clean trick is to define a "user macro" with the same name (i.e. XYZ), then you can control the output - at least make it a bit nicer than the "unknown macro" display.

I will try this too Thank You

I should point out that the "user macro" trick is a cosmetic patch to make things look better. Ideally, remove the broken entries (and Lukas' answer can help you better there)

Hi Kumar,

the Search and Replace Plugin (https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/at.rumpelcoder.confluence.search-and-replace) can remove macros globally. 

Just find out the name of the macro (e.g. by looking at the storage format) and remove it using the plugin. IF you need further instructions, feel free to ask.

Best Regards,

Lukas
