Sadly, we aren't perfect, but we are trying to get there! Some minor bugs might appear. We are working on resolving the issues we know about.
General issues
SOLVED IN LISU 4.1.2 & LESS 1.5.2
The "Atlassian Troubleshooting and Support Tools" app in version 1.32.1 causes problems for the Linchpin Intranet Suite.
For more information, follow the link below:
CONFL. BUG
The Confluence site logo image causes a "to many open files" issue
Even after increasing the open file limit as described here Too many open files error, it does not prevent Confluence to crash.
Actually, the issue is based on the Confluence platform itself even though it appears that the Linchpin Theme app is involved.
The data storage of the logo which is uploaded via the Linchpin theme configuration (/admin/linchpin/theme/configure.action) is always a Base64-encoded string, i.e. it is not a file nor attachment and ultimately not stored in the file system.
However, the Linchpin theme also sets the regular site logo of Confluence as well using a standard Confluence API method. That site logo can be seen even without an active or applied Linchpin theme (e.g. in the admin area on the top left). As a matter of fact, that Confluence site logo is an attachment file, i.e. a file in the file system which can be affected by the stated issue.
Solution : As we learned through our customer support case, the Confluence system has been upgraded to version 7.16.2 while using Java 8. Once they've updated their system to Java 11 the customer was able to fix the problem.
Usability issues
Caches sometimes freeze. CONFLUENCE 7.10 LTP 2.23.3
We noticed that Linchpin Theme sometimes has an issue with the cache.
You can observe this error when you look at the header. Often, when there is a problem with the cache, the header will look off.
Solution: Clear your cache. This should solve this issue.
Teaser images are missing in PDF exports.
Teaser images are missing when a page is exported to a PDF.
A time-out leads to lost changes in menu configuration.
Changes in the menu configuration can disappear when the admin times-out.
Theme reset to Confluence default after upgrade of Linchpin apps.
Updating Linchpin Theme disables the theme for a brief period. If the Confluence system is accessed by another user during this time, it detects a "missing" theme and resets Confluence to the default theme.
To repair this, simply activate the theme again. Starting with Confluence 6.15 this is not an issue anymore, so we suggest updating .
Settings for not showing the menu in space themes get reset.
When using space themes with deactivated menu and upgrading to Linchpin Theme 2.19.x or Linchpin Suite 2.x, the settings for the menu get reset to default. That means that the spaces using those space themes will show the menu.
Workaround: The setting has to be corrected once after the upgrade, from then on they keep their settings.
Visual issues
A 1/3 page layout makes the Spaces macro disappear.
The Spaces macro can disappear when displayed in a 1/3 page layout.
Pop-ups are displayed in wrong positions.
The login page sometimes can cause pop-ups to appear in wrong positions. This is fixed with Linchpin Theme 2.20.4.
Text inside the header might appear cut-off.
Text inside the action drawer (header) can appear cut-off when it's displayed in two rows.
The placeholder text inside the search bar might appear cut-off.
The placeholder text inside the search bar (for example: "Type to use the search") can appear cut-off.
Sidebar icons break when a system is migrated from HTTP to HTTPS.
If you migrate your system from HTTP to HTTPS, the sidebar might display broken icons.
The issue exists because the sidebar uses the base URL of the system to load faster. Sadly, the sidebar does not flush the cache automatically, that's why you have to do it yourself after performing a migration.
Workaround: To fix this issue, please navigate to Confluence administration → Cache management.
Look for the net.seibertmedia.confluence.linchpin-sidebar.cache.sidebar.v2 key and click on the Flush button.
Compatibility Issues
The following apps and versions are known to have compatibility issues with the Linchpin Theme. These might have been addressed by a more recent release of the third party apps.
