LinkedIn scheduled post disappeared or not working? Fixes

If your LinkedIn scheduled post disappeared, it's most likely still waiting in LinkedIn's scheduled list, which you open from the Clock icon in the post composer, or another Page admin moved or deleted it. If your scheduled posts aren't working through a scheduling tool, the usual cause is an expired or revoked LinkedIn connection, so reconnect the account and resend.

Find what you see below. LinkedIn's own scheduler comes first, then posts that a scheduler sends through LinkedIn's API.

LinkedIn scheduled post disappeared in LinkedIn's own scheduler

The post isn't on your profile or Page

Likely cause: it hasn't published yet, so it only lives in your scheduled list.

Fix: open the Create a post window, click the Clock icon, then View all scheduled posts (on mobile, View all). Under More you can choose Modify schedule or Edit post.

Documented in: LinkedIn's Help Center, summarised in our LinkedIn scheduling guide.

A Page post moved, changed or vanished

Likely cause: another admin. LinkedIn lets Page admins see, edit, reschedule and delete posts that other admins scheduled.

Fix: ask your co-admins before you write it again. Super admins and content admins can schedule Page posts from 1 hour to 3 months ahead.

Documented in: the same guide.

You can't schedule the post at all

Likely cause: the format. On a Page, LinkedIn won't schedule events, posts with multiple photos, reshares, polls, jobs or service posts. On a personal profile it won't schedule events or jobs. Profile posts need to be at least 10 minutes away, Page posts at least 1 hour.

Fix: publish that format by hand at the time you want, or change it to a format LinkedIn can schedule.

You can't promote a scheduled Page post

A scheduled Page post can't be promoted in Campaign Manager until it has been published. Wait until it's live.

LinkedIn scheduled posts not working in a scheduler

The post is in your tool but not in LinkedIn's scheduled list

This is how it's meant to work. LinkedIn's Posts API accepts only PUBLISHED when a post is created, so a scheduler keeps the post on its side and sends it at the time you chose. If you want to change or delete it, do it in the scheduler.

The tool says the post failed or the account needs reconnecting

Likely cause: the connection expired or was revoked. LinkedIn's docs say access tokens last 60 days. Approved partners get refresh tokens that last a year, and after that you have to authorize the app again. You may also have removed the app in your LinkedIn privacy settings, and LinkedIn says it can revoke tokens at any time for technical or policy reasons. If a tool asks for new permissions, LinkedIn cancels its older tokens.

Fix: reconnect LinkedIn in the tool, then resend the failed posts. Buffer's help center says that while a LinkedIn channel is unauthorized, posts won't publish. If a refresh keeps failing, Buffer suggests removing Buffer under LinkedIn's Settings & Privacy, then Data privacy, Other applications, Permitted services, and reconnecting.

Documented in: LinkedIn's authorization and refresh token pages; Buffer's LinkedIn article.

Page posts fail but your profile posts work

Likely cause: your Page role. LinkedIn's Posts API lets an app post as a Page only if the signed-in member is an Administrator, Content Admin or Direct Sponsored Content Poster of that Page. Otherwise the call fails with 403 ACCESS_DENIED. Some tools set a stricter rule: Buffer says only a Super Admin can connect or refresh a Page in Buffer.

Fix: check your role in the Page's admin settings, or have a Super Admin connect the Page.

Every LinkedIn post stopped on the same day

Likely cause: the tool is calling an API version LinkedIn has retired. A new version comes out every month and each one is supported for at least a year. After that, calls fail with 426. Version 202511 sunsets on November 16, 2026. Our version sunset calendar lists every date.

Fix: you can't fix this yourself. Check your tool's status page and tell its support. If you run your own integration, move to a newer Linkedin-Version header (see the 202511 entry).

A video or PDF post failed, or seems stuck

Likely cause: media processing. LinkedIn can return a post as PUBLISH_REQUESTED, which means it publishes once processing finishes, or PUBLISH_FAILED, which needs an edit before LinkedIn will try again. A video in PROCESSING_FAILED comes with a reason, such as a file that's too large or a format LinkedIn doesn't support.

Fix: wait a few minutes for processing, then edit or re-upload. On Buffer's status page, Buffer says LinkedIn PDF carousel posts sent through Buffer failed from April 9 to 14, 2026, could not be retried, and had to be recreated from scratch.

The tool shows an error code

Your tool may have its own limits too. Buffer, for example, lists 50 LinkedIn posts per 24 hours.

What to do next

• Business owners: check the scheduled list from the Clock icon first. If you only post to LinkedIn, the built-in scheduler on our LinkedIn tool page has no outside connection that can expire.
• Marketers and agencies: have a Super Admin connect each Page, and reconnect accounts when your tool warns you instead of after posts fail. The LinkedIn hub has LinkedIn's limits and API changes, and the schedulers directory lists other tools.
• Developers: log the Linkedin-Version you send and its sunset date, refresh tokens before they expire, and read the post's state after you create it.
