Hi,

Thanks for this awesome plugin.

I have developed a wordpress theme to sell and it uses ACF lite as well as the ACF gallery plugin.

I read that it´s possible to include it in the theme as long as copyright credit is included and no updates are available.

I´d just like to know how can I include ACF in the theme without having users downloading the plugin.

thanks!

Hi @tinybigstudio

You can read all about including ACF here:

There is no way to prevent a user from copying out the ACF plugin, but that is just something that can’t be policed.

Thanks for your concern, but you don’t need to worry about it too much.

Thanks

Hi Elliot,

Thanks for the response, however I meant something different 🙂
I want to know know how can I include ACF and ACF Gallery in a premium theme. I haven´t found a way to do it so that users don´t have to download plugins.

Thanks

Ok, that was easy…

Just copied the plugin folder in the theme folder. And followed the steps.

Now I must figure out why some fields are not appearing.

thanks!
