Social Feed | All social media in one place [SMUZSF] Shortcode

The SMUZSF shortcode of the Add-Facebook plugin is designed to process and display content based on a specified ID. It extracts the ID from the shortcode attributes and checks if the post associated with the ID is published. The shortcode then determines the theme layout for the content and sets the template path accordingly. It applies filters to the template path and sets up the template variables. The content is then buffered, included from the template path, and returned for display.
