Diagnosis
Diagnostic Steps
- Check if any customization is done with the Confluence under Confluence Global Customization.
- Confluence Admin > Layouts
- Confluence Admin > Stylesheet
- Confluence Admin > Custom HTML
Check if using below URL page creation is possible,
https://<Confluence-Base-URL>/pages/createpage.action?spaceKey=<Space-Key>&src=quick-create
If Confluence UI doesn't show any Customization just check in Database because some time unformatted Code still present in Database and that may cause the issue.
select * from bandana where bandanakey='atlassian.confluence.css.resource.custom'; SELECT * FROM DECORATOR; SELECT * FROM bandana WHERE bandanakey = 'atlassian.confluence.settings';
Cause
If the above SQL queries give you any result, that might cause the issue.
Workaround
Just Try to clear the records if above SQL gives any result for any Customization which Confluence UI is not able to show.
- Stop Confluence,
execute below Delete Statements but before deleting just take a Backup of these two tables
delete from bandana where bandanakey='atlassian.confluence.css.resource.custom'; DELETE FROM DECORATOR; commit;
Now execute below SQL statment and see there should be no records left
select * from bandana where bandanakey='atlassian.confluence.css.resource.custom'; SELECT * FROM DECORATOR;
- Clear Plugin Cache
Restart the Confluence and see if you are able to see the create button
