Post(s) Number(s)

  • I had about 10 posts after importing some stuff from MT.
    Now when I create a new post, with the last post being #10, the next post is #102…
    …/index.php?p=102 where logically it should be …/index.php?p=11
    I did login to MySQL and change the author to all the same person – but did I do something to screw up the post numbering? If so, how would I fix this?
    Thanks in advance.

  • actually post number does not matter… the blog works fine anyways…
    you should consider shifting to Smart URIs using apache redirects. ??

    How would I go about doing that?
    Thanks.

    there is an option named permalinks…
    check in the backend.

    The permalinks option will create a set of ‘rewrite rules’ that have to be cut and pasted into a file you create called .htaccess. Put this file in your root WP folder and whammo, smart URIs. ??

    provided ur host is not EVIL. ??

    Wow, you’ve got me confused!!

    Login to wordpress,
    Click on Options
    Click on Permalinks
    Then once you are there, decide what kind of permalinks(permanent links) you want, instead of the ?p=2835r9 kind.
    Then you will get a piece of code at the bottom of the page, which you have to include in your .htaccess file.
    Simple ??

    ALTER TABLE wp_posts auto_increment = 0;
    I’d like to know if there’s a way to have the “real” post number of a certain post displayed (not the post_id) by the way… Is there?
