Confluence pages with special characters are giving error

[Abhijeet Kale]

There are some pages in confluence which having certain special characters in it are not loading and giving error, It's not for all special characters but few.

I am not able to edit those pages to update the page title to remove those special characters, Is there any way we can update the page title from UI only and don't want to change it from the database as it will require downtime.

Hi @Abhijeet Kale You need to find out the content id of the page and then use the below URL to access the page in Edit mode to update the page title.

To find the content id of the page please follow the below steps:

1. Access the space to which the affected page belongs

2. Right click on the affected page and select inspect and find the page content ID as shown below

Once you have the page content id, use the below URL to go in Edit mode to update the page title.

https://<baseurl>/pages/editpage.action?pageId=159124470
