Submission ID counter stays stuck on one number
The submission counter never increments or sticks on one number, so every form gets the same ID.

What's going wrong
Site owners using UniqueID for Contact Form 7 report that the submission counter fails to advance after install, so every form receives the same ID or the count freezes at a value such as 10. Many of them rely on the number as a work order or membership reference, so the duplicates break their records and they are forced to abandon the plugin or search forums for workarounds. Reports come from small businesses, nonprofits and developers across several WordPress versions. The gap suggests an opening for a diagnostic tool or a managed ID service that verifies counters and guarantees sequential, gap-free numbers for form submissions.
