Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
Issue: Missing "Add" Button.
Solution: This usually means your account does not have the "Staff" or "Manager" permission level. Please contact your school's Minga Administrator to request access.
Issue: Post Not Scheduling.
Solution: Ensure your Unpublish date is set for a time after your Publish date. The system will not allow an unpublish time that occurs before the post goes live.
