Q: Why are you installing ACF into my WordPress automatically?
Why is your plugin auto-installing the piece of crap ACF? (I don't want anything to do with ACF. There are so many better options AND you should let people know you are bundling dependencies.) Immediately deleted and requested refund!

Oct 22, 2024A: Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we're sorry to hear you're feeling this way. While many other plugins bundle tools under the "mu-plugins" section, we chose a different approach to be more transparent. This allows you to easily use ACF for additional tasks on your site, should you need it.
We appreciate your input and will explore potential options based on your feedback.
mazzelPLUSIt's unbelievable ACF is installed without me knowing, and not giving a proper direction how to get rid of it. How is that transparent? ACF is screaming to me to upgrade as well.

@eric: is ACF a requirement? Your reply didn’t indicate that it is, only that it is installed… but is it an actual dependency or not?
mazzelPLUSNot @Eric, but I was told Upsell plug-in depends on ACF

Yes, Upsell plugin depends on ACF. I put in a feature request for them to build their own fields instead of relying on ACF as that will have a less impact on assets that have to load on the site, but the real impact is not much. I know people who have used Upsell plugin for years and swear by it. So for most, I don't think it's a huge deal.
