Troubleshooting & FAQ
The quickest fixes for the things that trip people up. If your issue isn't here, the Platform limitations page often explains the behaviour.
Connecting a channel
Instagram won't connect / says personal accounts can't publish
Instagram needs a Business or Creator account. In the Instagram app: Settings → Account type and tools → Switch to professional account, then reconnect. You don't need a Facebook Page. See Connect Instagram.
My Facebook Page isn't in the list
You need full control of the Page. Check the Page's access settings in Facebook, or add it to your Meta Business Portfolio, then reconnect. See Connect Facebook.
YouTube connection failed
Reconnect and leave all the permission boxes checked on Google's screen. We need the channel-read permission to find your channel. See Connect YouTube.
YouTube says there's no channel on my account
YouTube connects a channel, not just a Google login. If that account doesn't have a channel yet, create one at youtube.com (click your profile picture → "Create a channel"), then reconnect. If you use more than one Google account, make sure you pick the one that owns your channel.
LinkedIn says I need to reconnect
That's expected about every 60 days for personal profiles. Click Reconnect on the LinkedIn card.
The page admin isn't me
Only a page's admin can connect it. Send them a connect link from Settings → Connected Accounts; they can connect without joining your workspace.
My connect link says it expired, was used, or was cancelled
Links last 48 hours and work once. Make a new one in Settings → Connected Accounts → Ask someone else to connect.
I can't find TikTok or LinkedIn in the connect list
We aren't taking new TikTok or LinkedIn connections right now. If you connected one earlier it keeps working. Custom webhooks are on paid plans; see Plans & limits.
Workspace & handover
My handover code isn't accepted
Codes last 7 days and work once, and you can't use your own. If the owner who made it has changed since, the code is no longer valid. Ask the current owner for a new one. See Hand over your workspace.
I handed over my workspace and now see a new, empty one
That's expected. Once you've handed over, you're no longer a member, so postme.live starts you a fresh workspace of your own. You can ignore it.
Handover isn't available on my workspace
Handover is switched off on paid plans, because the billing is on the current owner's card. Cancel the plan first, or email [email protected] and we'll move it for you.
A post failed or is stuck
Facebook says “Confirm your identity before you can publish as this Page”
Facebook requires the Page admin to confirm their identity before that Page can publish. This applies to the Facebook app and to scheduling tools like us alike, and it isn't something we can bypass on our end. Open the Facebook app on your phone, complete the identity check it prompts you with (also under Settings → Account Center → Personal details), then come back and retry the post. Your connection here stays active, so there's nothing to reconnect. See Connect Facebook.
My post says “awaiting platform”
For Reels and videos, the platform processes the upload before it goes live. This usually takes under a minute or two. It clears on its own.
My TikTok post isn't on my profile
It's waiting in your TikTok app inbox. Open TikTok, finish the post, and tap Post. That's the normal flow for connected TikTok channels.
A post shows “partial”
It published to some channels but not others. Open the post to see which channel failed and why. Often a reconnect fixes it.
Analytics look wrong
My numbers show zero or look low
New posts settle over 24–72 hours, so give them a day or two. For Facebook, video views may need a Page reconnect, and some feed metrics are mid-transition on Facebook's side. LinkedIn analytics aren't available yet. Full detail: Data accuracy & freshness.
An old post stopped updating
Posts stop refreshing after about 28 days and freeze at their last numbers. That's expected.
Uploads & AI
My upload was rejected
Check the format and size. We accept PNG, JPEG, GIF, WebP, MP4, and MOV, but not HEIC or AVIF (convert them first). Files must be within your plan's per-file limit. See Media Library.
I can't generate any more with AI
You've reached your monthly AI allowance. It resets at the start of the month. Until then, you can keep posting with your own media. See Plans & limits.
