@klock I agree with this. I run into problems constantly with plugin compatibility not just with ACF, but keeping this to just ACF, I have plugins that depend on ACF Pro and I once installed a theme that required the standard version of ACF be installed, if it wasn’t the theme would just keep reinstalling it. If I had known that the theme required ACF4 and would not run without it installed I never would have considered it as a possible solution for the client. Worse than including it in a theme or a plugin is not making that information available for those that might use it.
Hopefully, the ACF4/5 problem will be solved soon as E has said a free version of 5 should be released soon.
