blog post macro does not list all blog posts

[Andreas Ljungström]

Hi,

I have a page that lists blog posts using the macro. 

It is not limited by a specific label or anything but should simply list all the recent (last 200d) blog posts on that space. It works for 3 posts, but I just created a new blog post (using the ... > blog post function) and the created blog post will not appear through the macro.

Under Site Admin-> Blog I can see all 4 posts. 

The only difference I can tell between them is that the newest one has a different URL than the others - the pages are "blabla+blabla+blabla" whereas the one post that does not appear is "....pageId=127404549"

Any clues?

I found the cause and was able to fix it myself. Indeed, the special characters were the culprit.

I had quotation marks around a phrase in the title of the blog post. I removed those and voilà, the post now appears in the macros. :)

Thanks @JP _AC Bielefeld Leader_ for leading me on the right path.

Try rebuild your search index. Once in a while it might need a refresh. Is the application log printing anything? Is the new blog post already published?

Confluence creates URL with a pageId, if the title of the page or blog post contains any "special" characters, so this shouldn't be a problem.

thanks, @JP _AC Bielefeld Leader_ ! I'll ask the admins to re-index. We haven't checked the logs yet - will do if needed. 

Yes, the blog post was published immediately, just strange that the macro is not picking it up.
