To disconnect a social account, go to Settings > Social Networks, hover over the profile and click the small "x", then click "Remove".
There are two ways to stop posting to a profile:
Deactivate = click the profile so its green check disappears. It stays connected, but Post Planner stops posting to it. You can activate it again anytime.
Remove = click the "x" to remove the profile from Post Planner completely.
Only want a profile out of a posting plan? You don't need to disconnect it. Edit the plan in Plan instead.
In this article, you'll learn:
🚫 How to deactivate a profile
Go to Settings > Social Networks.
Click the profile or Page. Its green border and check disappear.
Deactivated profiles don't count toward your plan's profile limit, and you can click them again anytime to start posting to them.
NOTE: If the profile still has planned posts or drafts, Post Planner warns you that they'll fail to publish. Click "Go to posts" (or open Posts) to delete or move them first.
❌ How to remove a profile
Go to Settings > Social Networks.
Hover over the profile and click the small "x" in its top-right corner.
Click "Remove" to confirm.
If the profile still has planned posts or drafts, you'll see the message "This profile still has planned/pending posts or drafts." Click "Go to posts" to delete or move them first. Only the account admin can remove a profile that still has planned posts.
Removing a profile also takes it out of your posting plans in Plan.
Removing your Facebook personal profile
Your Facebook personal profile is the first, dimmed picture on the Facebook row.
When you remove it, Post Planner asks "Remove this profile and all associated pages from Post Planner?" Removing it also removes all the Pages connected through it, and removes Post Planner's access in Facebook. Any Instagram accounts connected through Facebook will then show "Fix connection."
IMPORTANT: Missing a Page or Instagram account? Don't disconnect Facebook. Reset the connection instead: see How do I reset my social network connections?
Connecting a profile again later
Click "Connect" or "Connect more" on the network's row (see How do I connect my social accounts?). Profiles come back inactive, so click each one to activate it again.
Connecting a different account on the same network? Log out of the old account on that network's website first, or the same account will connect again.
🔒 How to remove Post Planner's access on each network
Removing a profile deletes it from Post Planner. Except for your Facebook personal profile, it doesn't remove Post Planner's access in the network's own settings. To remove that access too:
Facebook: removing your personal profile in Post Planner does it for you. You can also open Facebook's Business integrations page and click "Remove" on the Post Planner row.
LinkedIn: open LinkedIn's Permitted services page and click "Remove" next to Post Planner.
Google Business and YouTube: remove Post Planner from your Google account's third-party apps and services.
Bluesky: delete the app password you used for Post Planner in Bluesky's App Passwords settings.
X (Twitter): open X's Connected apps page, select Post Planner, and click "Revoke app permissions."
Pinterest: open Pinterest's Security settings, find Post Planner under connected apps, and click "Revoke Access".
TikTok: in the TikTok mobile app, go to "Settings and privacy" → "Security & permissions" → "Apps and services permissions", select Post Planner, and click "Remove access."
Threads: open Threads' Website permissions page, find Post Planner, and click "Remove".
Instagram (Direct): open Instagram's Apps and websites page, find Post Planner under Active, and click "Remove."
❓ Common questions
Will removing a profile stop its planned posts?
To stop a profile's planned posts, delete them (or move them to another profile) in Posts before you deactivate or remove the profile.
How do I disconnect my Facebook from an old Post Planner account?
A Facebook account can only be connected to one Post Planner account during a free trial. If you see "You can not connect this account because it is already connected to another user", removing Post Planner in your Facebook settings won't fix it. Contact support with your full name and any old email addresses you may have used, and we'll release the old connection.
How do I switch Instagram from Facebook to Direct (or back)?
Your whole Post Planner account uses one Instagram method. Only the account admin can switch it, and only when no Instagram accounts are connected and no Instagram posts are planned. Delete or move your planned Instagram posts and drafts in Posts, remove all your Instagram accounts, then choose the method with the arrow next to "Connect" on the Instagram row.
