Documentation
The WPSDDC Social Marks WordPress Plugin is designed for customizable social profile links. It helps editors display profile icons through shortcodes and optional widgets. This is useful for placing consistent social links in WordPress content. Site owners configure their own profile destinations.
For practical context on the WPSDDC Social Marks WordPress Plugin, read About. The official reference on WordPress Shortcodes explains related technical concepts.

Detailed Behavior
Display customizable social profile links using a shortcode, widget or optional post and product placements.
Configure profile destinations under WPSDDC > Social Marks. Use [wpsddc_social_marks align=”center” size=”36″], the Social Marks widget, or optional placements after single posts and on WooCommerce products. Choose from 64 supported public profile types. WordPress Core supplies supported social icons; supplemental SVG geometry is bundled from Simple Icons 13.21.0 under CC0. Unverified artwork (including laTostadora) uses a generic Core link icon; telephone uses a Unicode symbol. No private brand catalog is included. Links never load third-party resources before a visitor follows them. The new-tab preference is now honored and announced to assistive technology. No JavaScript, global admin assets, external requests, analytics or mandatory WooCommerce dependency are added. Settings and widget titles are retained on removal.
The plugin uses local WordPress APIs and does not send telemetry. Settings are retained after deactivation or removal.
