hi george,

yes, sadly, I had either forgotten about this or never knew about it. I suppose I should have updated here with that info when I finally figured it out a couple of weeks ago. It is, indeed, super simple.

I pay what is, for me, a lot of money for a “managed” host and they did not even mention this. moreover, they were the ones who initially configured the multisite, then they just left me in the lurch and said it was a plugin problem and not a server issue.

needless to say, I will be moving everything over to my own server at digital ocean soon.

thank you for replying, George!

I found this:

Is this what I need to fix the problem?

Thanks for the help, Rick.

I did not restore from a backup.

How do I go about reseting the identity counter?

If you can point me in the direction of where I need to go to reset the identity counter? Or how I would do that, I would appreciate it.

I am paying for a “managed” “premium” host and they have said that I am completely on my own with this, which is really unhelpful.

Btw, this was after going back to the earlier version of the plugin.

Thank you. The plugin was changing the site ID from 10 to 23. I was able to resolve the issue by changing the site number (well, the tech guy at my hosting account did). I’m not sure why the plugin would change the ID upon saving but this is what was happening. Perhaps sites created and canceled equalled 23 (because I was getting frustrated trying to get it to work)? And the plugin somehow remembered this number?
