Hi James,

Thanks or your reply. However having had a few attempts I’m ot sure I fully understand what I need to do.

I have a gallery on some certain page tmeplates and in a custom post type.

<?php //Gallery images

			$images = get_field('image_gallery');
			$size = 'full';

			if( $images ): ?>
			      <div id="masonry-loop">
			      	<div class="grid-sizer"></div>
    					<div class="gutter-sizer"></div>
					<?php foreach( $images as $image ): ?>
						<img class="grid-entry" src="<?php echo $image['url'];?>" alt="<?php echo $image['alt']; ?>" />
					<?php endforeach; ?>
			      </div>
			<?php endif; ?>

Do I work the update_field into the gallery loop?
For example:

<?php //Gallery images

			$images = get_field('image_gallery');
			$size = 'full';
			$count = (int) get_field('field_59b6acbe2a8g6');

			if( $images ): ?>
			      <div id="masonry-loop">
			      	<div class="grid-sizer"></div>
    					<div class="gutter-sizer"></div>
					<?php foreach( $images as $image ): ?>
			// increase
			$count++;
			// update
			update_field('field_59b6acbe2a8g6', $count);						
			<img class="grid-entry" src="<?php echo $image['url'];?>" alt="<?php echo $image['alt']; ?>" />
					<?php endforeach; ?>
			      </div>
			<?php endif; ?>

If so I can’t seem to get it to work.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,
