 * Hi,
 * I’m trying to add plugins to groups and then activate them at bulk when needed.
   I’m facing a problem if the plugin exists on multiple pages. Allow me to explain.
 * Group A – Consists of plugins that should operate only if it’s a shop/product
   page
    Group B – Consists of plugins that should only operate in cart/checkout
   page
 * When there is a common plugin in this group (woocommmerce for ex) the plugin 
   fails to load woocommerce entirely if either Group A or B is exclusively active.
 * Also, under pages, I can only see the option to drag and deactivate a certain
   plugin/group. I see no space where I can only activate a particular plugin/group.
   Could you please advise on these, please?

 * If you have a group disabled then all plugins in that group will be disabled.
   Regardless if they exist in another group that is enabled. Only the disabled 
   plugins and groups are visible in the disabled containers. If it isn’t there 
   it is enabled. Sounds like you need to create a separate group that doesn’t contain
   woocommerce.

 * Is there a way to mitigate this? Or I’d have to create groups in which no plugins
   are repeated and manually enable/disable individual plugins.
 * Also, there isn’t any enabled container that gets created, right? Just a container
   which has plugins or groups that get disabled if the said page is active.

 * The way to prevent this is to set up your groups so that ones that have woocommerce
   disabled don’t get disabled on your woocommerce pages. Only disabled containers
   are displayed. So if a group or plugin is not in the disabled container then 
   it is enabled.
