What you are seeing

Some links on your published site take visitors to an Atlassian login screen instead of the page they were expecting.

#Why it happens

Those links point at Confluence pages that aren't published in your site. When a linked page isn't part of the site, the link is left as the original Confluence URL, so visitors are sent to Confluence and asked to log in.

#What to do

You have two options.

  • Publish the linked pages. Add the space that holds those pages to your site. In Sites, open your site's Settings, choose Spaces & URLs, then select Add space. The change goes live on your next deploy.

  • Change the links. If those pages should stay private, edit the links in Confluence so they point somewhere your visitors can reach.

The Published spaces card lists every space in your site. Use Add space, top right, to bring in the space your links point to.
