 * hi! I’ve already used ACF and I’ve not had any problem…
    this time I can’t install
   plugin because it returns this error:
 * Fatal error:
    Cannot redeclare get_fields() (previously declared in /MY THEME
   ROOT/acf/core/api.php:16) in /MY PLUGIN ROOT/advanced-custom-fields/core/api.
   php on line 241
 * I’m using a theme that declare same funcions because it use its fields.
    If I
   delete get_fields funtion error change with another function name to infinity….
 * thanks
