Where does WordPress store post ID history?

    If I permanently delete a post whose ID is for example 3310, WordPress will never create another post with this ID. Where is this value stored?

    Because if I look at wp_post I don’t see a row with the value of the post 3310 (in the example above).

    The ID in wp_posts (and a lot of other tables) are an auto-incrementing integer value. being an auto-increment value it takes the next number when a new item is inserted, and if one is deleted is is deleted permanently.

    If you want to see what it’s currently at you should be able to use phpMyAdmin (or similar) co check the auto_increment value for that table.
