# Table Number

 * Hi,
 * I accidentally imported my tables twice from the database and though I erased
   the doubles, when I import a new table, the table number starts from 1260+ when
   the tables are 635.
 * I believe that the internal counter is still reading the import I made by accident.
   How do I reset it?

 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post.
 * Well, no, the internal counter doesn’t read the import you made by accident, 
   but it simply does not decrease again when a table is deleted. This is to make
   sure that no table ID is used twice.
 * If you really want to reset the counter, please do this:
    Go to [http://www.example.com/wp-admin/options.php](http://www.example.com/wp-admin/options.php)
   Scroll down to the entry with the name “tablepress_tables”. In that text field,
   you should see “last_id” with a number (probably 1260+) behind it. Change that
   number to 635, and click “Save” at the bottom of the page.
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * It will work as soon as I am able to use Save. I am guessing the max_inputs_var
   is not high enough, and this option.php contains a ton of information.
 * I am currently trying to reach my host to up the value so I can make the change
   and then revert it.

 * Hi,
 * ah, that can indeed be a problem 🙁 Sorry about that…
 * If you can’t change it on options.php, you can change in the wp_options table,
   directly in the database.
