Troubleshooting
Known issues
Living list of Social0 quirks and workarounds on social0.app — connect, posting, API, and uploads.
Overview
This page tracks real product behavior that looks like a bug but has a known cause or workaround. We update it as platforms and APIs change. For step-by-step fixes, see the topic guides linked from Troubleshooting.
Connect
| Issue | Workaround |
|---|---|
| Instagram connect fails or wrong account | Try direct Instagram OAuth first. If you connected via Facebook Page, confirm the Instagram account is linked to that Page on Meta, then reconnect. Instagram |
| TikTok connected but slow to show posts | TikTok often needs several minutes after we send the post before it appears on profile. Wait and refresh TikTok — TikTok | | CLI/MCP cannot finish OAuth | By design. Connect in Dashboard → Connections first — OAuth troubleshooting |
Posting
| Issue | Workaround |
|---|---|
Multi-platform job partial success | Some platforms succeeded, others failed. Poll status / get_publish_status until terminal; read per-platform errors; reconnect failed accounts and retry only those |
| TikTok publish failed — privacy | TikTok requires acceptable privacy/settings on the connected creator account. Check TikTok app settings, then reconnect if needed |
| Pinterest publish failed — board | A board must be selected for the pin. Reconnect or pick board when creating the post — Pinterest |
API & integrations
| Issue | Workaround |
|---|---|
platforms validation error | Pass account UUIDs from GET /v1/accounts, not platform names like "linkedin". API errors |
| 429 rate limit | Hourly API quota exceeded — back off and retry. Rate limits · Fair usage |
| Free tier API publish limits | Free allows API publish/schedule within the same 10 lifetime post quota (drafts do not count) and 3 account cap — Plans · Channel limits |
MCP upload_media with url fails | URL must be a direct file link. Redirects and HTML pages fail. Use presign via REST or base64 data — MCP troubleshooting |
| Ambiguous platform in CLI | Run social0 accounts --json and use numeric ID or UUID when multiple accounts share a network |
Uploads
| Issue | Workaround |
|---|---|
| HEIC / WebP / GIF rejected | Convert to JPEG or PNG (images) or MP4 (video) |
| Video upload OK, publish fails metadata | Re-encode to H.264 MP4; check platform duration limits |
