I agree, it’s unusal that ACF would be promoted as a plugin or theme development tool when it so easily can have conflicts from separate installations of the plugin. What’s the point of including it in my theme or plugin then? Oh well.
I also thought it would be nice if it’s possible to use ACF to build a theme or plugin, then remove it from that theme or plugin and utilize some sort of JSON export in my theme without the need for ACF to be included. Though, that doesn’t really sound possible even with my severe lack of programming knowledge.
