Not automatically posted to GoogleMyBusiness

As a side note, I created WordPress posts using WordPress’s REST API.

Does it work when you manually create a post through the metabox, or turn on the auto-post toggle and then Save/Update the WordPress post?

If you’re on the premium version, also make sure you have selected a location under the “Advanced post settings” in the auto-post template (Post to GMB > Settings > Auto-post settings).

If you are in fact using the premium version, please contact me at [email protected] for further assistance as the support section here is only meant for the free version of the plugin.

Thank you for your reply.

　The cause is unknown, but sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t if I turn on the auto-post toggle and then Save/Update the WordPress post.

I’m sorry, I’m using the free version of the plugin.

Do you know how to access the server error log? Maybe check if there is an error related to the plugin immediately after a post is not being published to your GMB listing.

Sounds like something is making the posting process fail. The post should go out to GMB (almost) immediately.

Thank you for your reply.
As a result of checking PHP error with a plugin「QueryMonitor」, the following error was output.

That’s an unrelated error unfortunately, but one that has to be fixed regardless ?? Taking note!

I doubt you will be able to see the error (if any) using the QueryMonitor plugin as the post publishing process runs in the background.

The only way to see it will be through the server error log, which should be accessible through the Cpanel of your webhost.

Thank you for your reply.

Yup that’s definitely the one! Thanks for checking.

I’ll see if I can release a quick update to fix the issue!

Thank you for confirmation.
I look forward to hearing from you about the update to fix the issue.

Can you try the 2.2.45 update and see if that fixes it? It should fix the other error you posted as well.

~ Koen

I was able to confirm that the error was not logged.
Thank you for your support!!

Great, thanks for following up!

Hi Koen, I use premium plugin, and find that the post not shows in GMB, i believe you could help.

Error in cpanel as below:

Hi @nungtirta,

Looks like a security suite called “IMUNIFY360” on your web server is inadvertently blocking the plugin connection. I’m not familiar with it, but I’d show your web host or web developer the error and I’m sure they will be able to fix this for you.

The plugin needs to be able to access the following domains and IP addresses:

util.tycoonmedia.net
136.144.128.71
2a01:7c8:fff9:f6::3

app.posttogmb.com
216.239.32.21
2001:4860:4802:34::15
