bbpress uses custom post types, so forum posts will take the next number available in wp-posts list, along with posts, pages and other custom post types.
I’d suggest that if you’ve seen a big jump, then you spam filter is probably working hard, and that the missing numbers are spam comments in wordpress.
I just checked it. I don’t have any spam comments, I have only 66 pages in my WordPress.
Seems like the error is other… No way to solve it manually or some?
Thanks
you should be able to see what has taken those post numbers if you go into phpmyadmin – you host provider should let you know how to do this.
Then look in wp_posts and click the ID column to get them into number order. You can then see what has taken those numbers.
I have several jumps in the IDs… Do you know why?
Thanks a lot
At least, for each topic the number for the first message should be #1 no?
no can’t tell you why you have jumps – again I suspect spam filter taking out commenst – do you run askimet?
At least, for each topic the number for the first message should be #1 no?
no, bbpress is using wordpress post numbers. Everytime a post, page, comment, forum, topic or reply (and any other custom posts) are created or media item (eg picture) is uploaded, a wordpress post number is allocated.
Hence you could easily get large gaps in the numbers.
I don’t have akismet enabled. But I checked the comments tab and I don’t found spam comments… It’s very, very stange
Well there’s not a lot you can do about it.

yeah this could happen on an active site especially if a popular topic is posted after post #1001
then someone bumped the topic to #4938
you can check and see if a popular topic was posted between these posts by checking some topics post time.
you can show consecutive numbers though starting from #1 on each topic using bbp_reply_position()to replace the reply id in loop-single-reply.php
but if a spam post comes in it wont be consecutive anymore it will skip a few
