Why is my post stuck on "Posting in progress"?

Sometimes, posts in Publer's queue may experience delays during processing. Here are the two scenarios where your posts might get stuck on "Posting in progress":

Scenario #1:

Once a post goes into the publishing queue, it may take a few minutes to be processed, depending on the social network API.

Keep in mind that video posts may inherently take longer to process due to the social network API's processing time.

If it's past the scheduled time, you can find the post on the Posts tab > Scheduled with the "Posting in progress..." status.

If a post was created for multiple social accounts and one of them is still "Posting in progress", the posts for the other social accounts are not affected. Each post is processed individually based on the corresponding social network's API.

To fix the issue, simply refresh Publer or check back later. Publer will notify you in the notification center if there's an issue with the post processing.

Scenario #2:

When posting through push notifications for Facebook Profiles, TikTok, Reels, and Stories for Instagram and Facebook, the post will stay in "Posting in progress" until you finish the semi-automated publishing process on the mobile app.

If you go to the Posts tab > Posted, you will see the post with the "In Process" status.

Simply go to your mobile app and finalize the publishing process.
