Confluence 2.9 Documentation

Index

Confluence goes to some lengths to prevent itself being unusable due to a problematic plugin. However, sometimes a plugin will manage to do this anyway. To remove a plugin from Confluence when Confluence is not running:

Prior to Confluence v2.3

  • Remove the jar file from the <Confluence Home>/plugins directory.
  • Restart Confluence.

In Confluence v2.3 and later

  • Connect to the Confluence database.
  • Remove the appropriate row from the PLUGINDATA table: e.g., suppose the Google Maps plugin was not working, you would run: delete from plugindata where pluginkey = 'com.atlassian.confluence.ext.gmaps'
  • Restart Confluence.
