AI Suggestion

ðŸ"š ΞScholar Analysis:

Located the Pages menu entry point:

**File:** `wp-content/plugins/slp-power/include/module/pages/SLP_Power_Pages_Global.php`

**Key Method:** `add_pages_tab()` (lines 42-66)

**Hook Chain:**
- Line 31-34: `add_filter('slp_menu_items', [$this, 'add_pages_tab'], 11)`
- Line 44-46: Checks `$power->using_pages` before adding menu
- Lines 57-60: SaaS-specific customization already present (icon + position)

**Current Logic:**

This worked, here is the code change:
