 * Did a search through questions and on your site but didn’t find anything addressing
   this issue.
 * When activating the groups plugin on multisite I get “Plugin could not be activated
   because it triggered a fatal error.”
 * I think this should be addressed in an update because woo commerce groups requires
   groups to be installed. The issue is that the woo commerce helper (updater) plugin
   requires in multisite that you network activate the woo commerce groups, and 
   by deduction you would need to network activate groups to make it all work properly.
 * Thanks in advance.
