Find the failed post

In Schedule, a Needs attention row shows posts that didn't go out this month. Tap it.
In the day list, a failed post says Tap to retry.
Your notifications (the bell at the top) also tell you when a post failed.

A post can also be partly posted: it went out on some networks and failed on others. Only the failed ones need a retry.

Tap the post. A panel opens with each network it went to.
Each failed network shows the reason in plain words, with the network's own message under it.

The reasons you may see:

The network needs to be reconnected, or the account is no longer on the profile.
The network is busy right now, for example because of a rate limit or a daily quota.
The network didn't accept the video file, or didn't accept the text.
The network says this was already posted.
The network didn't answer.
The network didn't take this account, or didn't take the post.

Next to each failed network, the panel offers what fits the reason:

Retry: sends the post to that network again. When two or more networks can be retried, a button retries them together, for example Retry all failed.
Reconnect: takes you to Profiles. Reconnect the account, then come back and retry.
Try again later: the network asked you to wait. Come back later.

If the text was refused, fix it in a new post: tap Post again.

You can also retry from the video's page: under the post, tap Retry failed.

On plans that count posts, a retry doesn't use another post.
If the post's scheduled time is still a few minutes away, the retry keeps it. Otherwise it goes out right away.
