If you read my review of Lately Social (and I recommend that you do), you will remember that I could not highly recommend Lately Social because of issues with my posts failing. However, since I posted my Lately Social review all of my posts have been published successfully.
I think I figured it out.
I feel so silly. I switched to saving all of my files as .JPG files due to the file size limitations of the free version of Lately Social. And I think that has something to do with why my posts are successful now.
I didn’t know this, but Instagram also has a post limit. Therefore, if your .PNG file is too big, Instagram won’t allow it to upload.
So Instagram wouldn’t upload my .PNG graphics, which caused the posts to fail. It wasn’t Lately Social’s fault at all! Switching completely to .JPG files solved the problem completely. If you’re having problems with your posts failing, check your file type! You might be having the same problem.
I just wanted to set the record straight that it was human error that was the problem, not the platform. I can now safely recommend Lately Social for your social media scheduling needs.
