I actually just came up with an acceptable solution for this – the custom circles properly alternate when I change the amount of circles in a row to 3 rather than 5. This is fine for my site design. Thanks for all your help previously Andrew.

I just want to bump this thread and see if anyone has come across this issue yet and solved it.

To recap – I have custom circles on my home page that I want to alternate with my post circles. I can get the top row to alternate, but the following rows will not.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Thanks again for all your help so far Andrew. This is not incredibly time sensitive yet, so I will wait it out for a little bit and work on other aspects of the site.

Andrew, thanks again for helping. I am new to this, and it’s clearly beyond my current capabilities. Let me know if there’s anything I can try out to assist.

Sorry – I’ll try to be more clear.

The pictures are the custom circles. The circles with texts are the posts. So, the pictures should be circles 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10.

On the top line you will see that I have been able to get the circles to order properly. The posts are circles 1, 3 and 5 and the custom circles with pictures are at 2 and 4.

On the second line, all of the custom circles with pictures are in the last 3 places – 8, 9, 10. Even though their ORDER numbers are 6, 8, 10.

I have played around with changing the post publish dates and order numbers, but it doesn’t make a difference on the second line – the ordering command just isn’t working there.

Let me know if that doesn’t make sense and I can try to explain differently. Thanks.

Andrew, now that I’m playing around with these changes – the order only works for the first line of post circles and I can’t get it to work for the second line. I am only going to have 10 posts total (including the 5 custom circles), so I just need to get the order to work for that second line. Can you point me to where I should make changes to your solution to get this result? Thanks.

It worked!! Thanks for confirming that your previous solution would work and encouraging me to try again.

Andrew, I got my custom circles working again. You’ll see that they’re just pictures – that’s my intent. I also created the “order” custom field for the custom circles but I have NOT changed any code yet because I thought I’d check in with you to see if you have any thoughts about the best way to get the custom circles to now alternate with the posts. Thanks again for your help.

Done. When I reactivate the plugin, the custom circles still aren’t showing up. Later today I will try uninstalling the plug in and re-do the custom circle process to start fresh.

CCTM cache is now cleared as well.

Deactivated the plugin. I’m still figuring out how to clear the CCTM cache – may take me a little longer. Thanks.

Ok, done. The custom circles still aren’t showing up.

I applied the order to custom circles I created – although now I see that the custom circles aren’t currently showing. That’s a new problem I’ll have to take a look at. I currently have two custom circles created. You can see below the first two circles that the cursor changes – that’s where they are although you can’t see them.
