 * Hi from Germany,
 * love the idea of your plugin. Hovewer, there is one slight disadvantage. It is
   possible and legally allowed to integrate the ACF plugin into your own plugin
   or theme. I do that for example in a plugin where I gather all site specific 
   settings in one place. Your plugin uses the following code:
 * `!is_plugin_active( 'advanced-custom-fields/acf.php' ) AND !is_plugin_active('
   advanced-custom-fields-pro/acf.php' ))`
 * which is obviously not working for me, since ACF is not installed as a plugin.
   Here’s my two cents: Better check if the ACF class is present instaed of looking
   for the plugin:
 * `if( ! class_exists('acf') )`
 * Just an idea, maybe you could consider incorporate that in a future version.
