Hi, My wordpress theme is soft rejected because of the Advanced Custom Fields plugin. I just put acf plugin files in my theme > admin> plugins folder. But when I check my theme with ThemeCheck plugin I see some warnings because of ACF plugin. Do I need to use TGM Plugin Activation or is there any way to use ACF plugin in theme folder ?
How can I use ACF plugin in my theme ?
Yes use the TGM class from http://tgmpluginactivation.com/
That will ask your customers to install the theme and they get any updates made to the plugin, this means then your customers always have the latest version of the plugin without relying on you to update your theme files on a regular basis.
