How to fix the pink duplicated notice on parties and posts.

When looking at your list of scheduled parties, you may notice some of them may be highlighted with a Duplicate notice. The most common reason this happens is when people use the same template for multiple parties scheduled on the same day, in which case every post in the party would show as duplicated:


This means you have at least one post scheduled to go out at the exact same time of another post in another party.

This is not advised for two reasons:

1. Facebook has been known to block people for posting "too fast."
Publishing multiple posts at the same time or too close to one another will easily catch their attention.

2. The extension needs time to upload your content and publish it.
What can happen, is the extension is loading the content for one post, then is interrupted by the next scheduled post before it has published the first. This results in one (if not both) posts failing.

How to correct this:

This is where the Adjust Post Time feature really shines!

  • First, click on the name of one of your highlighted parties

There is an Adjust Post Time box at the top of each party. Select the time increment you want to adjust that party by, then click Save Changes. All the posts in that party will then be moved forward or backward by the time increment you had chosen.

Example: I have a party that has an 8am, 8:30am, and a 9am post. If I select +5 from the Adjust Post Time dropdown box and click Save Changes, those posts will now be scheduled for 8:05am, 8:35am, and 9:05am.

Adjusting each Duplicated party like this often clears up any Duplicate notices from your list of scheduled parties.

Please remember that if you have many parties scheduled and many posts in each party you may still have a few posts in your parties duplicated; those can be fixed by viewing and editing them from the Queue tab.
