Description

The new release has this:

/includes/admin/views/settings-info.php:18:
<p><img src="https://assets.advancedcustomfields.com/info/5.0.0/select2.png" /></p>
/includes/admin/views/settings-info.php:23:
<p><img src="https://assets.advancedcustomfields.com/info/5.0.0/design.png" /></p>
/includes/admin/views/settings-info.php:28:
<p><img src="https://assets.advancedcustomfields.com/info/5.0.0/sub-fields.png" /></p>

This is against the WordPress.org plugin guidelines, since remote loading images may cause you to track usage which gets rolled into GDPR issues, among others. Can you please patch that?

You can email plugins@wordpress.org for more info, but I’m pretty sure that was just a mistake and nothing malicious 🙃

Research direction

Start with includes/admin/views/settings-info.php at the three reported image references. Inspect how the plugin packages admin assets and replace the remote image loading with an appropriate local arrangement. Confirm the settings information view no longer requests images from assets.advancedcustomfields.com.
