 * Hi there,
 * Could you please send a copy of your site’s System Status? You can find it via
   WooCommerce > Status.
 * Select “Get system report” and then “Copy for support”. Once you’ve done that,
   you can paste it here.

 * Hi there,
 * Updating the WooCommerce version is always a good idea. But that has nothing 
   to do with the order numbers.
 * First, it’s important to know why the numbers are out of order in the first place.
   WordPress saves everything as a post. So pages are posts, media files are posts,
   products are posts, orders are posts, and posts are posts. This makes it really
   easy for developers to interact with the database since everything uses a similar
   format. All of these posts (media, pages, posts, etc) use the same database table
   and because of that they can’t share the same ID. If you want to have a consecutive
   order number then you have to save a bit of extra data in the database.
 * The design pattern behind WooCommerce is to try to stay as lean as possible and
   give people the ability to extend or add onto the existing functionality. If 
   you don’t need sequential order numbers then there’s no point in storing all 
   of this extra information. WooCommerce leaves this up to store manager to decide
   if it’s necessary.
 * If having the order numbers in sequential order all the time is important for
   your shop, then there is already an excellent plugin, WooCommerce Sequential 
   Order Numbers, by the SkyVerge team available for free:

 * but that is no the problem. the problem is that it was quite in order before 
   now it jumps in hundreds so the question is if something is failing how can i
   detect whre the problem is because definitely i did not make 200 posts or changes
   between every order. so how did this got out of control? is there a place where
   i can check evrything that woocommerce is saving as posts?
