Wiggled post in un-set cement?

I set some fence posts in cement yesterday (not quick set cement) and this morning I went out to see if they were solid yet but it wiggled. Is my post always going to have some play since I wiggled it in unset cement or will it still sill in set up solid in a day or 2?

    If the concrete hadn't set up, then wiggling it shouldn't cause any lasting problems.

    If it had already started to firm up - and I don't let anybody go jostling my embedments after thirty minutes after pouring - then you're making a problem, or making it worse. Leave it alone and let it set. Give it a good 24-48 hours. Then see if it still wiggles. If it does, pour in some leveling compound to set up and fill the gaps and hold everything still.
