Auto-Posting not working
-
When a post is scheduled, the auto-poster status for this post is activated.
When the scheduled time arrives, the post is automatically posted, but the post is NOT sent to Facebook and Twitter (I setup both networks).When I open the post editor, I see that the auto-poster is now deactivated, but it says: Shared: 0 times.
Then I click “Advanced Config”, tick “enable Auto-Posting”, Select the Twitter profile, and then update the post.
Now it says: Shared: 3 times.
I only have 2 profiles. So Shared 3 times makes no sense at all.But again. Nothing is actually posted to Facebook or Twitter.
When I click Custom Sharing & Scheduling -> Info on the post editor page, and click the green Share button, the posts are successfully posted to Facebook and Twitter. So the connection to these networks is good.
I’s just the auto-poster that is not working. Please help me fix this.
(Maybe the so called Best Time Manager is messing things up? I don’t even want that. I want to post immediately when the the scheduled post is published)

Hi, thanks for the quick reply.
WP Version: 6.2
Blog2Social: 7.1.1
“Details” cannot be found on the “Notifications” page. The list is empty.
But when I click “Share WordPress Content”, the list fills with all posts (scheduled, etc.). Then I can filter on Author, shared by user, etc.
Which post do you want me to select? The manually to social posted post? Or the posts that are still scheduled?
Anyway, there is no “Details” button or link.
Ah, yes that “Apply best times” box was indeed ticked. I unchecked it and saved the settings.
I also cleared the notifications, but the list is still empty:
The Scheduled Posts and Shared Posts pages show me some posts. With them I can click details.
I think it’s best to wait now until the next scheduled post is published. Let’s see what happens (since I have now unticked the “Apply best times” box.
I’ll update you after the post is published…
And thank you again for your very quick response. It’s highly appreciated 🙂Hello,
Unfortunately, it does not work. A scheduled post was just published. Before it was published, I saw that the Autoposter was activated.
After scheduled post was published, it changed to this:
Nothing was posted on the social platforms.
The notifications area is also empty:
Then I opened the post editor again and clicked Customize & Schedule Social Media Posts:
After that I clicked Share
Now the post is indeed shared to both Facebook and Twitter.
So manual posting to the social platforms works fine, but auto posting not.
Any other ideas?
