How to show a post in a page 1.0

[David Trefry]

I figured it out. When you delete a post, as admin anyway, it also deletes the post number and never reuses that post number again for any subsequent posts. At least it appears that way.

I thought I had tested for this earlier but I must not have used a $postId that was not previously deleted.

This is the behaviour of AUTO_INCREMENT of the database. It won't reuse ids because it may cause problems elsewhere (and cause confusion).

Ahhh yes. That rings a bell. A database thing. Thank you for the answer!

Anyone know if this will also work with help pages?
The help pages seem to be simulair to the normal pages. I would like to include post content to a help page, but it stays empty.
