Have you ever had Facebook posts not show up on your news feed? If you have, you’re in the right place.

When it comes to social media, Facebook is always one step ahead; No doubt, it gives a headache if you face issues with using this most popular social media platform.

We heard people facing issues when using Facebook for multiple purposes. We saw how people get numb to finding solutions for obstacles they’re totally unaware of. 

But we got you.

Even if you’re not one of them, you can go through this blog, where you can find the causes and easy fixes for Facebook feed-related problems and implement them when needed.

Let’s get started!

Posts not showing up on Facebook (Why & how to fix)

You’re not alone if you get into trouble with Facebook posts not showing up on your feed. This is not any bug that is out of your hands.

Instead, it happens because of two things: One is because of cache, and another is selecting the audience in your setting option.

Well, when will you try this method? Because Facebook has a specific solution for specific issues. After clicking on your app, if only one or two posts are showing, and even after you load the page, nothing works because it’s time to clear your cache.

All you have to do is, go to your settings option on your mobile and, find the Manage apps, search for the Facebook app.  From here, find the Clear cache option, and click on it. You’re done!

Now check your Facebook feed to see how easily you fixed it.

Trouble in showing up on Facebook posts is one more problem many of you face: your posts do not show up on your friend’s timelines. For this, you can do a few things in your setting panel.

In this case, you’ve to check your Facebook settings section. You might have limited your audience option setting. So go to your settings option first; make sure your page is available to all age groups and countries.

Facebook business page posts not showing up

Have you ever seen something like you don’t want to see a type of post that frequently appears on your timeline? Almost everyone faces the same issue.

If you notice most of the time your Facebook timeline has been flooded with unwanted promotional posts, videos, and ads. But don’t worry; Facebook has been strict against those kinds of promotional materials of spammers.

So, based on this algorithm, Facebook has made some changes that ensure the audience preference first. This will decide what you want to see on your news feed & prioritize what’s more important to you.

Also, this has made the marketer’s job a bit tougher.

On the latest Facebook update, you can see The Top Stories instead of Most Recent. This allows you to choose if you want your feed displayed chronologically (random posts by Most Recent) or let the algorithm select what you prefer most (Top Stories).

But what happens to the business pages’ after that?

Facebook has made it organized nicely now. You can find those pages on the left-hand sidebar of your feed page.

Even you can get the updates as the first viewer if you choose “See First” from the getting notifications option. If you choose “Default,” your feed won’t show the most updated content unless you set it to “Most Recent.”

And same goes for the followers of your page. They can see the regular posts and updates in their news feed when they like your page. So, make sure your active Facebook page is engaging and contains enough impressive content that makes your audience interested in seeing your content in the first place.

Facebook scheduled posts not showing up

In this case, two possible scenarios would be:

  1. Your scheduled Facebook posts are not showing up, but you’re getting likes and comments for those posts.
  2. Neither your posts appear on Facebook nor you’re getting any engagement, still showing listed scheduled on Facebook.

As a solution, you’ll have two options;

Either you Publish and Backdate the post (Select EditBackdateData and TimeBackdate),

Or delete the scheduled post and write a new post.

Facebook friend posts not showing up 

That could be another trouble when you don’t see all of your Facebook friends’ posts and find only a smaller number of them. But don’t think they’ve removed you from their friend list or something like that.

Because Facebook’s algorithm works only the way you direct them. That makes you see the only kind of posts you prefer and from the people you love to see most. Your newsfeed will mostly show you the only friend’s posts with which you interact most. And prioritizes posts from those people.

Well, what you can do is,

  1. Go to the right-hand side of your screen and select “Settings & Privacy.” 
  2. Now click on “News Feed preferences.” Select Manage Favorites, & make your favourite list. 

By doing this, you can ensure you don’t miss seeing any of their posts on Facebook. You can also add them to your Favourite list by clicking on their profile and selecting Favourite from the Friends option.

More tips: You can stop seeing posts from specific groups and pages if you “Snooze” the posts, which will work for 30 days. If you never want them to show up on your feed, simply choose “Unfollow” or “Hide all”.  

Facebook tagged posts not showing up

Your friends have tagged you, but they’re not showing up on your wall?

You wanted to show them on your wall and let others see them, but those tagged posts are not showing up. 

For this, first what you should do is, go to your profile and check the red colored numeric value of PENDING STORY. 

Just click on it and add the post to your timeline! If you do not want to do this in your future tagged posts, turn off the review post option; every time someone tags you in any post, it will automatically be added to your timeline.

Instagram posts not sharing on Facebook

Years back, when we started using Instagram, we had a feature that would allow us to share our Instagram posts on Facebook. But sometimes, it may happen that this option doesn’t work properly. We saw people complaining about Instagram that even after they get notifications for sharing posts, they still haven’t shared them on Facebook.

But no worries, we have a quick fix for you. You can try for the immediate result if you face this problem.

You can try these four easy steps;

  1. Check whether your Instagram is connected to your Facebook account; even if it is, link them again.
  2. From both Instagram & Facebook, Log out, And then try again by logging in and linking your accounts.
  3. Change your Facebook password and then try again.
  4. Disconnect Facebook from Instagram, restart your phone, and link your Facebook with Instagram again.

Those above-mentioned easy fixes will make you successful in fixing Instagram sharing posts to Facebook. If step one doesn’t work for you, try another. If the second fails, try three, but one will surely work.

    I opened settings under my timeline picture. There was no line mentioning feeds . 🙁 Clicked a line there saying setting and it brought up my information. I am also an administrator on a Page and the posts don’t show up except under the Quad where I then see a picture of the posts and some are blank which don’t have pictures. Wished your instructions would have helped.

      Here are some steps you can try to resolve the problem:

      Check Privacy Settings for Your Posts:
      Go to your Facebook profile.
      Click on the three dots (…) next to your profile picture and select Privacy Checkup.
      Review your privacy settings for posts and make sure they are set to either “Public” or to the desired audience (Friends, Friends of Friends, Only Me, etc.).
      Review Page Settings:
      If you need help with posts on a Facebook Page where you are an administrator, go to the Page.
      Click on Settings located in the top right corner of your Page.
      In the left column, click General and ensure that the settings related to post visibility are configured correctly.
      Check Page Moderation Settings:
      In your Page settings, under General, check the Country Restrictions and Age Restrictions settings. Make sure these settings are not limiting the visibility of your Page’s content.
      Clear Browser Cache and Cookies:
      Sometimes, browser cache and cookies can cause display issues. Clear your browser’s cache and cookies, and then try reaccessing Facebook.
      Use a Different Browser or Device:
      Sometimes, issues are browser-specific. Try accessing Facebook using a different web browser or device to see if the problem persists.
      Contact Facebook Support:
      If the issue persists, please get in touch with Facebook support directly. Go to the Help Center on Facebook and follow the prompts to report the problem you’re experiencing.

    When I look at my profile from a stranger’s profile, you cannot see my public posts or any posts at all for that matter nor any information at all except my profile picture and i have been posting lots of publlic posts. It is NOT a privacy setting. I’ve seen some other discussions about this and noone has given a solution. What’s going on?

    1. Hridi Paul Avatar

      This issue typically occurs when your privacy settings for your posts are not set to “Public”. However, since you mentioned that your public posts are not visible, we recommend double-checking the solutions we provided in this blog post. If none of them work, please report the problem to Facebook. Thank you.

    When I look at my wife’s business’ page on my FB app it won’t show me recent posts.(last couple days).
    If I go to the feeds tab in the app…and click on “favorites”, I can see those posts. If I look at her page via a web browser I can see those posts on her page. I have cleared the cache. I have un-installed and reinstalled both the FB app and FB messenger to force a manual re-login. It is super annoying that i can’t just open my app and go to her page to see recent posts.

      It sounds frustrating not being able to see recent posts on your wife’s business page in the Facebook app. Here are a few steps you can try to resolve the issue:

      – First, ensure that your wife’s posts aren’t restricted by any privacy settings, like audience selection or custom filters. They might be visible in the browser but limited on mobile
      – Though you have mentioned that you already cleared the cache, but sometimes, clearing only the cache isn’t enough. Go to your phone’s app settings and clear the entire app data to reset the app thoroughly before reinstalling
      – Log out of Facebook on all devices, including the web and app, then log back in to refresh synchronization across platforms
      – Make sure the Facebook app has all necessary permissions on your device, including background data usage, which could affect content refresh
      – Even if you’ve reinstalled, double-check for any new app updates and apply them

      Still, if the issue persists, contact Facebook’s support team through the app for further assistance. They may be able to diagnose if this is a known bug or an account-specific issue. This should hopefully help resolve the issue and allow you to see the posts as expected!
