    WooCommerce is not active.

 * Hello,
 * I can see a couple of possible causes of the issue:
 * 1. Your WooCommerce installation folder is not called ‘woocommerce’. You can 
   check it with FTP.
 * 2. There is some code affecting the `active_plugins` or `active_sitewide_plugins`
   hooks. To check if that’s the case, temporarily deactivate other plugins and 
   switch to the default theme.

 * It was the name of the woocommerce folder that was different.
    Thank you!
