 * Hi there, I have a piece of code in a plugin that i had had previously just overwritten,
   but i realise this can cause security problems. It’s the WOOATM plugin (WooCommerce
   Accordions & Tab Manager)
 * Simply, this:
 *     ```
       public function add_remove_tabs(){
               remove_action( 'woocommerce_after_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_output_product_data_tabs', 10 );
               add_action( 'woocommerce_after_single_product_summary', array( $this, 'wooatm_output_tabs'), 10 );
           }
       ```
   
 * is changed to this:
 *     ```
           public function add_remove_tabs(){
               remove_action( 'woocommerce_after_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_output_product_data_tabs', 10 );
               add_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', array( $this, 'wooatm_output_tabs'), 60 );
           }
       ```
   
 * but I dont know the best way to do it. can it be done in functions.php?
