 * Hi,
    i already used this great plugin and moved my site to a new wordpress and
   updated the plugin to the new versions.
 * Used:
    wordpress 5.5.1. Contact Form 7 Version 5.2.2 Contact Form 7 – Submission
   id Version 2.1.0
 * I use [submission_id_hidden submission_id-50 “20000”] and i changed the “50” 
   to multiple random numbers and used the “create-new-id-button”. But the ID always
   starts at “1” and not “20001”. So i think the Version ignores the start-value.
 * AND
    even if a change the submission_id-50 to 60 or press the “new submission
   id” Button in Forms it still counts with the old counter.
 * Excample:
    I tested [submission_id_hidden submission_id-50 “20000”] 5 Times. 
   I got ID 1,2,3,4,5. I changed to [submission_id_hidden submission_id-60 “20000”],
   changed the id in E-Mail-Bodys and i get ID 6.
 * Any suggestions?
 * Sincerly
    Patrick

 * I “fixed” it now within the database and changed cf7_submission_id_COUNTER in
   postmeta to 20000. But you might wanna look at this.

 * me again: I didn’t fixed it. Now it does not increase the Counter at all. It 
   stays as 20000.

 * This should be fixed in version 2.2.0 I just released.
    You should create a new
   contact form for the changes to have effect

 * It worked after deleting the cf7_submission_id_COUNTER and making a new Counter
   in the form with the new Version 2.2.0.
 * Thanks a lot!

 * It there maybe another problem with high numbers?
    I started with 21000 and i
   thought it works. But now i got the 21002 two times…
