 * I have “ACF Pro” installed on a website, and not being able to activate “Extra
   Fields for ACF”, cause it “requires ACF”. 
   Any insights on this?

 * Hi, thanks for reporting this!
 * The issue is that the plugin header had `Requires Plugins: advanced-custom-fields`
   which WordPress uses to enforce the free ACF slug specifically. ACF Pro has a
   different slug (`advanced-custom-fields-pro`) so WordPress blocks activation 
   even though ACF is technically there.
 * Fix is out in v1.2.2 — removed the `Requires Plugins` header and moved the check
   into PHP code instead. It now detects both ACF free and ACF Pro via `class_exists('
   ACF')`, so activation works regardless of which version you have.
 * Update to 1.2.2 and you should be good to go. Let me know if it still gives you
   trouble.
