How can I fix Facebook posting from PC?

1. Make sure you’re not banned

Facebook’s regulations are harsh occasionally, and the penalty for spamming your profile can come in a limitation of posts.

However, you should know thatFacebookinforms all users who cross the predicated boundaries. So, we suggestlogging outof all devices andlogging inagain.

After you log in, there should be viable information about your potential wrongdoings. You can file a complaint toFacebook, and if that’s your first ban, chances are they’ll reduce the ban length or terms.

2. Clear browser’s cache

3. Remove extensions and suspicious applications

If we exclude the extensions you’re using by choice, there are some which can infiltrate unknowingly. We all know about toolbars andhijackerswhich basically take the control over an affectedbrowser.

Furthermore, to be completely safe, you should remove all the malicious applications.

4. Scan for malware and run anti-PuP tool

PChave to be clear from malware which potentially spreads intobrowser‘s configuration files. If that’s the case, only removing the malicious extension won’t do any good.

UseMalwarebytesto scan for malware and successfully remove all PuPs (Potentially Unwanted Programs) from the system registry.

5. Reset the app

We can’t overlook temporary Facebook server issues (especially when they decide to implement changes) as a possible reason for this error. Therefore, you’ll have to wait awhile until you’ll be able to post again.
