Include macro broken after upgrade 3.5 > 5.0

[Deleted user]

I have a LOT of includes, and they're all showing this error:

Error rendering macro 'include' : The body of this ContentEntityObject ('Contacts') was 'BodyType:WIKI' but was expected to be 'BodyType:XHTML'

The documentation (for 4.0) talks about upgrading *user* macros, but surely the {include} macro is native to Confluence and should have been upgraded automatically to XHMTL?

Could you give exact versions and plan of your upgrade?

Please see https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Upgrading+Confluencestep 1 - if you've upgraded to version later than 5.0 it could cause problems.

Also please check your upgrade logs - maybe your upgrade failed in the middle - so not all document content was upgraded. Upgrade logs can be found according to the guide:

Hi - thanks for responding. It's going from 3.5.16 to 5.0, and from there it will be upgraded to whatever the latest is (5.5?) I haven't got access to the logs, but will pass that over to the team upgrading.

Hi Kathleen,

It might cause by html macro which is disabled by default for confluence 5.

Please kindly enable [HTML Macro|https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Enabling+the+html-include+Macro] (with all the module enable). see if the problem fix?

Thank you.

Regards,

Hi Wayne, thanks for the tip - it was a failed installation, but I'll remember that for next time.
