 * Earlier when i Install the plugin and created 2 tables, i mistakenly deleted 
   the second table, ever since then, my table has always been one higher than total.
   Is there a way to create another table abs rename it’s ID back to the deleted
   table ID.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fmissing-table-id%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * You can easily change table IDs on the table’s “Edit” screen, but then that number
   will be missing…
    Is it really that big of a problem that a table ID was skipped?
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * It’s not that big of a deal , i just thought maybe it stored it somewhere in 
   my database for it to not recognize a missing ID and jumped to the next.

 * Is there another in my database that i can recreate those missing ID so that 
   next time i created another table from dashboard URL start from the next number
   not jumping 2 non-existing table.

 * Hi,
 * yes, this is possible. Please go to [https://www.okaztle.com/wp-admin/options.php](https://www.okaztle.com/wp-admin/options.php)
   and find the “tablepress_tables” entry. There, change the number after `last_id`
   to `0` (be careful not to change anything else!).
 * After that, numbers that are currently skipped will be “filled” again with tables.

 * My last table ID is 31 after i filled all missing ID so i changed `last_id` to
   31 and i created new table, it worked, table 32 created, not jumped…
 * Thanks allot.
