ACF-Compatible API

- get_field() / the_field()
- get_fields() / update_field() / delete_field()
- have_rows() / the_row() / get_sub_field() / the_sub_field()
- get_row() / get_rows() / reset_rows() / get_row_index()
- get_field_object() / get_sub_field_object()
When ACF is also active, these wrappers are not loaded — no conflicts. Both plugins store data as standard WordPress meta, so they can coexist.
