 * Hi,
    ran into funky issue when I moved the location of the plugins folder from/
   sub/content/plugins/acfhere/css/global.css to /root/other/plugins/acfhere/css/
   global.css
 * kept getting console error in ACF Free that two of the main css not found, even
   though could load via browser, no caching plugin, force clear chrome cache, etc.
 * Only way I could fix this — after trying uninstall, reinstall, deactivate, reactive,
   resave permalinks, etc. (and the path is explicit in the wp-config obviously,
   or would not work at all …).
 * Simple fix was just switching to one of my dev licenses for ACF Pro — which did
   the dbase update, and everything worked right again.
 * Not sure if this is bug, or simply something to do with ACF Free getting out 
   of date with the latest WP version, etc.
 * I resolved it by just switching to ACF Pro, but kinda funky thing which only 
   happened when I moved location of the plugins sitewide to lock down write priv
   in main WP folder.
 * Worth auditing the ‘paths’ reading of free version on next revamp to be up to
   date with PRO version.
 * Only posting here vs sending you support ticket, in case anybody else rungs into
   this with custom folders in a special setup (e.g., running WP in sub folder, 
   with assets in another subfolder).
