[benecaster_social_links]
Renders the show’s social media profile links. Distinct from benecaster_platform_links (where to listen) and benecaster_episode_share (share this episode). Profile URLs are entered once per show in Settings → Show → Social Links. Platforms with no URL entered are silently omitted from the output.
Built-in platform slugs: twitter_x, instagram, facebook, youtube, tiktok, linkedin, threads, bluesky, mastodon, discord, newsletter. Custom platforms can be added via the settings screen.
Link array filterable via benecaster_show_social_links. Output filterable via benecaster_social_links_output.
Note: display order follows the order set in Settings → Show → Social Links. Use benecaster_show_social_links to reorder programmatically.
Show context: Without show_id, a show page or episode page supplies its own show, and anywhere else a single-show install uses its only show. On a multi-show install, show_id is required on any page that is not a show or episode page; the shortcode renders nothing if the show cannot be determined.
