Cool!
You know what would be awesome…
… if we could use ACF (any version) in our plugin/theme, and keep or fields tucked away in JSON…
… and then, even if someone already has ACF installed (any version), or installs it later..
… our plugin/theme hums along nicely because we are just running a unique “instance” of ACF.
Isn’t that how classes work in PHP? I’m limited in what I know about programming.
Anyway… I realize it probably wasn’t a priority in the early days to make it so we can use the plugin in our own work. However, I would happily pay a yearly fee for that ability.
I have heaps of plugins created on individual websites using ACF. I would love to package them up and put them on wp.org or sell the ones that use ACF Pro.
I gave up on that idea awhile back though, and it’s just too cumbersome to *not* use ACF.
