Steps to modify User's Profile page

  1. Shutdown Confluence
  2. Go to <Confluence-Insall>/confluence/WEB-INF
  3. Find confluence-5.9.6.jar and unjar it to a temporary location. You may refer on the documentation How to edit JAR files in Confluence JAR files for more detailed information
  4. Go to the extracted jar file  and go to the directory confluence-5.9.6 /com/atlassian/confluence/core/
  5. Locate and edit ConfluenceActionSupport.properties
  6. Find the following line and edit as shown in the screenshot

    fullname.name=Name  change to fullname.name=User's Full Name
    confluence.user.profile.phone=Phone change to confluence.user.profile.phone=Mobile Phone
    
    
  7. Save the file
  8. Copy ConfluenceActionSupport.properties and paste it to <Confluence-install>confluence/WEB-INF/classes/com/atlassian/confluence/core . Note that  the structure of the directory from the JAR file should be the same directory to where you paste the file and create the directory if doesn't exist.
  9. Restart Confluence
