Hi @john

The get_field function is part of the ACF plugin. Without ACF activated, this function does not exist and any use of it would cause a PHP error.

This is becuase you cannot use a function that does not exist.

If your theme relies on the ACF plugin and get_field function, you will not be able to deactivate ACF without first removing all ACF code from the the theme.

Please contact the theme developers for help with this.

Thanks
