When LinkedIn business content fails to publish, the issue typically stems from technical glitches, permission settings, or platform-specific requirements. Most problems can be resolved through systematic troubleshooting of account access, browser/app functionality, and content formatting. For businesses using third-party tools like Kontentino or Hootsuite, integration errors and admin role restrictions are common culprits, while organic reach declines may require content strategy adjustments. The most critical first steps involve verifying admin permissions, checking browser/app performance, and ensuring content meets LinkedIn’s technical specifications.

Key immediate actions to resolve publishing issues:

• Sign out and back into LinkedIn using Incognito mode to rule out cache-related problems ^[1]
• Verify admin roles on company pages (Super Admin or Content Admin required for publishing) ^[2]
• Check target audience size (minimum 300 followers required for targeted posts) ^[3]
• Reauthorize third-party integrations by removing and reconnecting them in LinkedIn settings ^[2]

Troubleshooting LinkedIn Business Content Publishing Problems

Technical and Account Access Issues

Most publishing failures originate from browser conflicts, app malfunctions, or account permission limitations. Start by isolating whether the problem is device-specific or platform-wide. LinkedIn’s official support recommends beginning with basic troubleshooting steps before exploring advanced solutions.

For browser-based issues:

• Clear cache and cookies, or switch to an alternative browser like Chrome, Firefox, or Edge in their latest versions ^[1]
• Disable pop-up blockers, which may interfere with LinkedIn’s publishing interface ^[1]
• Use Incognito/Private mode to eliminate extension conflicts ^[1]
• Ensure your internet connection is stable, as intermittent connectivity can disrupt uploads ^[7]

Mobile app users should:

• Restart the LinkedIn app completely (force close if necessary) ^[7]
• Update to the latest app version through the App Store or Google Play ^[7]
• Clear the app cache (Android) or reinstall the app if crashes persist ^[7]
• Check for device operating system updates that may resolve compatibility issues ^[7]

Account-specific problems often involve:

• Forgotten passwords or locked accounts, which can be reset via LinkedIn’s "Trouble Logging In" link ^[7][10]
• Restricted access due to company page role limitations (only Super Admins or Content Admins can publish) ^[2][6]
• Platform outages, which can be verified by checking LinkedIn’s status page or third-party outage trackers ^[7]

If basic troubleshooting fails, LinkedIn support requires:

• A detailed description of the issue, including steps to reproduce it
• Browser version and device information
• Screenshots of error messages ^[1]

Content and Integration-Specific Errors

When content fails to publish through LinkedIn’s native interface or third-party tools, the issue often relates to formatting restrictions, audience targeting rules, or integration conflicts. These problems require more specialized solutions than general technical troubleshooting.

• Expired authorizations: Remove the tool from LinkedIn’s "Permitted Services" under Settings & Privacy, then reconnect it ^[2]
• Role mismatches: Ensure the LinkedIn account connected to the tool has Super Admin or Content Admin privileges ^[2][6]
• API limitations: Some tools may not support newer LinkedIn features like carousels or polls ^[9]

• LinkedIn requires minimum 300 followers who meet your targeting criteria for scheduled posts ^[3][6]
• If follower counts drop below this threshold after scheduling, posts will fail to publish
• Solutions include broadening targeting parameters or growing your page’s follower base ^[3]

• Image specifications: Maximum 36,152,320 pixels, supported formats JPG/GIF/PNG ^[6]
• Video requirements: Files under 5GB, supported formats MP4, maximum 30 minutes ^[9]
• Text limitations: Articles have a 125,000-character limit, while regular posts max out at 3,000 characters ^[9]
• Rich media issues: Third-party content embeds may fail if the source platform blocks LinkedIn integration ^[9]

• Page name changes that invalidate old @mention links ^[5]
• Restricted tagging permissions for certain account types
• URL formatting errors in shared links that LinkedIn’s algorithm flags as suspicious

For persistent integration problems, the recommended workflow is:

1. Disconnect the third-party tool from LinkedIn
2. Verify all connected accounts have proper admin roles
3. Reauthorize the connection with updated permissions
4. Test with a simple text post before attempting complex content ^[2]
