after upgrading to latest confluence pages don't render HTML

[Ami Sadeh]

hello! after upgrading from Confluence 3.4 to 6.5.1 via the documented upgrade path all seems to be working however when viewing pages the page is showing the full html source/markup instead of rendering it. for example:

<p>

i am saying something <b>bold</b>

</p>

instead of showing:

I am saying something bold

I believe somewhere in that upgrade chain, Atlassian removed the ability for pages to be marked up with HTML. There were a number of editor changes between the versions you have upgraded through. They did keep a HTML macro for rendering HTML content, but the plugin needs to be enabled to be used by a Confluence Administrator.

Thanks for that info Rian, it was very helpful. I am able to edit a page and move its content to into an HTML macro block. Do you know if there is a way to bulk update my pages? it would be kind of hard to go one by one
