Editor does not create new Post IDs

  • I’m encountering a rather strange problem: When I add a new post in the backend, it overwrites the former post (ID) and its contents with the new contents. The post ID simply does not change any more.

    I have tested with all Plugins switched off and using a standard wordpress theme. No change in behaviour. I have replaced the wordpress core files with a new installation.

    The only thing I remember is, that I had installed Gutenberg and then reverted to Classic editor. So now I’m with Classic editor again. This may have caused the problem (or not.)

    Thanks for suggestions

    My own developed theme. Switching to wordpress standard 2016 or 2017 theme did not bring any changes

    Also my theme does solely address the front-end, not the backend. And I’m talking about the backend only.

    Isn’t the database table for posts supposed to auto increment the post number?

    I think that’s the first place I’d look.

    A good hint. I checked it with myphpadmin. ID Values are alright. However, when I create a new post, the post_parent value is not set to 0 (indicating that the post itself is a new post), but post_partent is set to the former posting, effectively making the new post a revision of the post_parent.

    Meanwhile I have used the “Optimize Database after Deleting Revisions” Plugin and again Re-Installed the most current wordpress, but no luck.

    When I press the “Add new” (post) button, it always jumps to the last post and re-edits that one. Unless I log out and log in again. Any more comments? Any other forum, where I should pose this question?
