Can any of you help me with a facebook problem?

I statred a facebook page - Gilded Age Railroading -of which I am the administrator. More than a few months back, when IO went to post, the page told me my post needed to be approved by the administrator. I tried what I could, and looked on Youtube, etc for advice. None could I find. Are any of you, or your sharp grandkids, well versed with facebook, and could l;end a hand to get me running again? I'm trying to get a book publsihed so I need my "media presence" to be considered.
If any of you are curious about the book, it is a great railroad excursion story that doubles as a tutorial on railroad operations from the 1890s to the 1960s.

I'm not a FB user but have gotten sucked into helping others....

Is this a regular FB page or a business page?

Going by memory, on a regular page, go to Settings>Page Access. There you can see admins and assign admins and what they can do.

Did you try to post as the page itself or as YOURself? You would have to make any posts on the page as THE page, not as you.

Agree that this is likely the problem.

Go to the group and check the members list. There's only one admin listed. Presumably that's you. If so, try switching between the page account and your personal one, that should help.
