Already posted error
EverySqueeze found this video already has a confirmed post on this platform, so it didn't post it again.
already posted to (the platform — Facebook, Instagram, YouTube or Pinterest)
What it means
Before posting, EverySqueeze checks Coverage for a confirmed record that this exact video already went out on this platform. If one exists, it refuses to post again — this is a permanent, final answer, not a temporary hold, so it won't retry.
Where EverySqueeze's duplicate check is turned on for your account, it can also be a post another tool (Scaled Creator, for example) made first: before an automatic or scheduled Facebook or Instagram post, EverySqueeze looked at your Page or Instagram, found that video already there, and recorded it in Coverage as found on your account. See Using another repurposing tool too. If EverySqueeze found the post but couldn't record it yet, the post waits in your Schedule instead (nothing is posted) and it checks again shortly.
This is different from already posting, which just means an attempt for this video is in flight right now. A guess that a video is *maybe* already there (shown in Coverage as Maybe already on Facebook — check) never stops a post.
This is not a failure, and it is not counted as one. On the Schedule tab it is listed under Nothing to do as already posted, with View the post when EverySqueeze has the link, never under Yours to fix and never in the failed count or the bell.
In the Schedule tab a settled row says who posted it: Posted by EverySqueeze, or Found on your Page (you posted this) when the post on that platform is one you made yourself.
What to do
- Check Coverage for the confirmed post on this platform: that's the record EverySqueeze is trusting.
- If the post is really still on the platform, there's nothing to fix: EverySqueeze correctly won't post it twice.
- If you deleted that post on the platform but EverySqueeze still thinks it's there, clear EverySqueeze's record on the computer version of Coverage. In that video's row, move your pointer over the platform's square and click the small round × that appears on its bottom-left corner. The × is labelled Remove your mark for that platform (for example Remove your mark for Facebook). When the record is one EverySqueeze made itself (its own post, or one it found on your account), it asks first: Remove the Facebook mark for this video? Only do this if the post is no longer on Facebook. The video can then be posted there again. Confirm, and the square clears (you'll see Cleared Facebook with Undo). Then post the video to that platform again.
- If the record is wrong in another way (for example, the confirmed post was actually a different video), use Report a problem (in Pip's menu or the Help button) rather than retrying: retrying won't change this answer.
About the ×
The × only removes EverySqueeze's own record for that one platform and video. It doesn't delete anything on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube or Pinterest. It shows on squares that show as posted from a record EverySqueeze holds. It doesn't show on a square that is only a guess to check (like Maybe already on Facebook — check), and it isn't in the phone app: use the computer version of Coverage.
Nothing is lost
Nothing is posted twice. The video and its other, not-yet-posted platforms are unaffected.
