I’ve run into this issue a few times on Behance, and most of the time it’s not a serious technical bug.
Here’s what I usually check first:
I make sure the project is actually complete. Behance won’t publish it if there’s no title, no cover image, no creative field selected, or if the project page is basically empty. I’ve missed this before, and it immediately caused a publishing error.
I always check whether my Adobe account email is verified. Once, my project refused to publish just because my email wasn’t confirmed yet.
I look at the file sizes. Even when the format is supported, large or very high-resolution images can break the upload. I’ve had projects fail just because one image was too heavy. Compressing the files usually fixes it.
I double-check the visibility settings. If the project is set to private or link-only, it can look like it never went live. Switching it to Public clears that confusion.
If publishing keeps failing, I change browsers or open an incognito window. Ad blockers and other extensions interfere more often than people realize—I’ve seen uploads fail silently because of this.
When the error keeps happening on only one project, I stop trying to fix it and just create a new project. Re-uploading the content into a fresh project has solved the issue for me more than once.
If none of this works, I contact Behance or Adobe Support and send them the exact error message and a screenshot. At that point, it’s usually something on the platform side, not the user’s fault.
