Symptoms

The navigation section on the left hand side of the page appears blank when using the Documentation Theme.

Cause

The navigation bar requires a space home page to be configured. If one is not configured, the navigation bar section may appear blank.

This may also be caused by a known bug when upgrading to Confluence 3.2.

Resolution

To resolve this problem,

  1. Click the 'Browse Space' link for the space. This is located at the top of every page and beside the space link on the Dashboard.
  2. Go to the 'Space Admin' tab and click 'Edit Space Details' in the left-hand panel.
  3. Select a new home page for the space from the drop-down menu. This is the default page to which users are directed when they click the link to the space from the Dashboard.
  4. Click 'Save'.
