Troubleshooting

Fixes for the most common problems, such as failed posts, reconnect messages and missing emails.

My post failed

Open Calendar → Needs attention. Each failed post shows the network's reason. The most common ones:

MessageWhat to do
Account needs reconnecting / "Please reconnect"Go to Accounts, click Reconnect on that network, then Retry now.
Needs an image or videoInstagram, TikTok, YouTube and Pinterest need media. Add an image or video, or untick that network.
Needs a video or at least 2 photos (TikTok)Add a second photo, or add a sound so your image becomes a video.
Too many hashtagsInstagram allows 5 and Threads allows 1. Remove some.
Video isn't supported (X or Bluesky)Untick X or Bluesky for video posts, or use images.
You can post once per day on XPick another day for this post, or untick X.
Image too largeUse a smaller image. Bluesky needs images under 1 MB.

I can't connect another network

Your plan may already have its maximum number of networks connected. The counter at the top of the Accounts page shows it; Starter allows 5. Remove one you don't use, or upgrade under Billing.

A network shows "✓ Connected" but I want another account there

Each PilotPost account connects one account per network. Remove the current one first, or create a separate PilotPost account for the other brand.

I didn't get the password-reset email

Check your spam folder, and that you typed the email you signed up with. The email comes from noreply@pilotpost.social.

Google sign-in shows an error

Try again in a private window. If it keeps failing, log in with your email and password, or use Forgot password? to set one.

My subscription is paid but the app says I need a plan

Make sure you paid with the same email as your PilotPost account. If you used a different one, email us with both addresses and we'll link them.

Still stuck?

Email us and tell us what you were trying to do. A screenshot of the error helps a lot.
