Change WPForms Entry IDs to start From a certain number
Budget: €8 – €30 EUR
My WordPress site relies on WP Forms to store submissions. The internal Entry ID counter now sits at 1,396, but I need the very next submission to register as 1,500 and then continue upward in normal sequence (1,501, 1,502, …).
Because I may not be able to grant direct server or database access, I’m treating this as an advice-only task. I’m looking for a clear, reliable method
Acceptance criteria
• First new submission after your fix shows ID 1,500
• Subsequent submissions increment correctly without duplicates or gaps
• Steps (and any code) are copy-and-paste ready and documented plainly
If the solution can be executed from inside the WordPress admin, even better,
