It looks like a non-free plugin is in use: "Advanced Custom Fields PRO".
Admin page reports it being outdated but cannot be updated without a
license key. Was there any specification for GetInteractive about only
using free software for the website ?

I find this ticket and the others related to Wordpress Plugins required by the GetInteractive template to be concerning. I specifically asked what plugins were required and originally was told none. This is clearly not the case. I think we need to re-ask the question, and clearly document, include what the plugins do in the new site, in the event we ever need to replace them.

Thanks,
Alex

Please see #2048 which is a request for another non-free plugin.

Please note that the contract expression of interest, and resulting
proposals, were all clear about their use of non-free plugins. The focus
was making best use of resources available etc...

Due to some miss communications SAC did not have an active representative
during the early stages of this website project; I would not like to see
the website deployment delayed due to a new requirement.
