”Recent Posts by Others” box (11 posts)

  • Hi Everyone, I’m hoping someone can help me out. A fan just posted on my page. It appeared in the notifications but it did NOT appear in the “Recent Posts by Others” box. My settings are set so people can post, add photos/videos, tag images AND show “recent posts by others” box on the timeline. 

    Is there something I’m missing?

    Thanks for your help! You’re ALL so helpful!

  • @lydiamediavilla – Lydia, I have the same problem. Even though you have your settings accepting all posts, FB is still somewhat arbitrary about which ones it will show. I have found that posts from people who Like the Page–which sounds like your fan–and posts from other Pages that Like the Page have the best success rate. Just a few days ago, one of my co-workers who LIkes our Page from his personal Profile–so he is a fan–put up a post and it didn’t show. I asked him to wait a day and try again. That time it showed up.

    It is also possible that the user deleted the post. Have you tried to reload the page?

  • @Bamacrobie- it’s so frustrating! Especially when it’s a great post! I liked so much more how fans’ comments appeared on the wall before Facebook went to the timeline. Now they can very easily be missed.

    @Ladahrbacek- I just went back & reloaded the page. It’s still in the notifications but not in “recent posts by others”….ugh!!!!

    Thanks for you replies!

    Check your spam. Sometimes when people post on your wall it gets considered spam by facebook. To find this go to :edit page on the top of your page, then scroll down to find use activity log, then once you are in there, instead of the option all , on the right side tab, choose spam. It will bring up all the posts that have been marked as spam and gives you the choice to unspam them in that circle with the line though it. 

    hope that helps!

  • Aaah @Tracy-peterson-champagne it was there…and a few more I never saw. Thanks for pointing that out!!!

  • This was a great reminder for me to check our Spam area.  For those who don’t know:  Go to Use Activity Log and then in the upper right corner filter by Spam and you may see some hidden posts!  I found one from earlier this morning.
    Thanks!

  • I just found that about a week ago, I could not believe how many were in there :(

    It was frustrating so see the post in my email and click on the link to comment but then I could not find it to mark allowed to page so that everyone could see the post.

  • Great feedback on the Spam filter! Also, even if you have it set to accept all posts on your page, if you have the Moderation or Profanity controls set to block certain words it may have prevented them from posting. Ie. if they used the word Sh** in their post…lol =)

  • Wow, I just checked my spam… this irritates me.  I wish facebook would allow me to determine what is considered spam.  I don’t like the “other” folder in messages either.  I had no idea until now that there was a spam folder.  This website & the people on it are a life saver.
