Add social profile fields to user profiles and display them as a styled icon row via shortcode or auto-insert.

== Description ==

AddonLogic Author Social Links lets every WordPress user add their social media profile URLs directly in their profile page. Those links are then rendered as a clean, accessible SVG icon row—no icon font dependency required.

**Features:**
* 9 networks: Website, X/Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, GitHub, Pinterest, TikTok
* Choose which networks to enable globally
* Auto-insert social icons after post content (toggle)
* `[author_social_links]` shortcode — works anywhere
* Optional network name label next to each icon
* Opens links in new tab with proper `rel="me noopener noreferrer"`
* Pure inline SVG — no external font or image requests
* Dark-mode aware CSS
* Network-specific hover colours

== Installation ==

1. Upload `author-social-links/` to `/wp-content/plugins/`
2. Activate through **Plugins › Installed Plugins**
3. Go to **Settings › Author Social Links** and choose which networks to enable
4. Users fill in their profile URLs under **Users › Your Profile › Social Profiles**
5. Use `[author_social_links]` in any post/page, or enable Auto-insert

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= How do I show links for a specific author? =
Use `[author_social_links user_id="5"]` replacing 5 with the author's user ID.

= Can I show the network name next to the icon? =
Yes. Enable **Show network label** in settings, or pass `show_label="yes"` to the shortcode.

= Where is the data stored? =
Each social URL is stored as user meta (`addlc_asl_{network}`). Settings are stored in `wp_options`.
