# retry_failed_posts

Retry failed posts whose accounts work. Finds posts that failed or partly failed and retries each one whose failed accounts are working again. A post that failed because an account needs reconnecting is skipped with that account, so call reconnect_accounts_needing_attention first. Accounts already published are left alone.
