Problem

Users added an external link to an image. When users click on that image, Confluence will react as an image button instead of a link.

img 1 of 2 : external link added to image

 

img 2 / 2 : when pressing image result in viewing image

Cause

The image fails to link with external link due to Content Formatting Macro, a third party plugin by Adaptavist.

Resolution

  • Disabling and re-enabling the plugin recovers the functionality
