 * I just enabled multisite but whenever I try to network activate this plugin I
   get a fatal error saying “Cannot redeclare far_plugin_meta()”
 * This error only popped up once and every other activation attempt simply said“
   Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.”
 * How do I install this on a multisite installation?

 * `far_plugin_meta()` function comes from the “Real-Time Find and Replace” plugin.
   Try disabling it and then activating our plugin again.

 * Thanks, that turned out to be the case with that one but still a problem here.
   Turns out that despite network activate failing that sites in the network have
   it active anyway. Surprised to see that since I though one must activate it on
   the network level first to be used on any site in that network.
