Emoticons not appearing correctly in Confluence
Symptoms
Instead of images, Confluence is displaying raw HTML.
Cause
XXS protection for plugins is enabled by default. This is a way of preventing plugins from inserting arbitrary HTML into a Confluence page.
Resolution
- Visit Confluence Admin > Security Configuration
- Click Edit at the bottom of the page
- Uncheck "XXS protection for Plugins"
- Save the page
