Are you getting site issue report items with the warning ‘Linked content not found’? Learn on this page what the warning is about and how to troubleshoot it.
Symptom
The site issue report for your site reports one or several warnings with the title ‘Linked content not found’ and specifies in each reported item which page and link is affected.
Warnings don’t prevent your content from being published to your site but you should still review them because your published content might be incomplete or inaccessible to your site visitors.
On the affected page in the published site, you might find that clicking on the specified link leads to a 404 page or to pages in your Confluence instead of your Scroll site.
Explanation
Your affected page(s) contains a link but the referenced content was not found or is not accessible by Scroll Sites. This might be due to one of the following reasons:
-
You are linking to a page in your Confluence which is not published in your site. In this case, Scroll Sites fails to transform the link to a Scroll site link and simply points back to your Confluence, which only you and your team can access.
-
You are linking to a page in your Confluence but the link format is wrong. The link might contain the path
createpage.action?, which indicates that the link is going to a draft instead of a published Confluence page. -
You are linking to an external webpage which doesn’t exist.
Resolution
If you are linking to an external webpage which doesn’t exist (anymore), please go back to the Confluence page containing the link and replace it with a valid URL.
If you are linking to a page in your Confluence, please check if the page is really published to your site. Try the following resolution steps:
-
Move the page into a content source (Confluence space or Scroll Documents) that is part of your site.
-
Check if the link format contains the path
createpage.action?. If it does, remove the link, find the to be linked page again and try to link to the page again. -
If the page is part of a Scroll Document content source:
-
Check if you are linking to a version that is actually part of your site. You might have linked to a page in the working version but only have version 1 or 2 are part of your published site. You will need correct the link to go to the page in a published version.
-
Check if the page you are linking to has the correct variant labels applied, so that it can actually show up in your site.
