 * When I try to activate the plugin, I get the message “fatal error” could not 
   be activated.
    I tested it on a site with native theme and without any plugin.

 * Hi [@thaishoe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thaishoe/),
 * This is a very strange behaviour! Can you share a screenshot of the error please?
   
   Also what are you server settings (PHP version etc.)?
 * Thanks,
    Savvas
