Shortcode

• Podbean
  • Updated Podbean shortcode to handle new attributes
    • **type** attribute allows user to pass in “single” to indicate that the ID passed in is for a singular episode.
    • **shape** attribute allows user to pass the value of “square” to render a single episode player in the Podbean ‘square’ player. Defaults to rectangle player.
    • **id** can now be passed in the embed URL for a single episode player `https://www.podbean.com/eu/pb-p4yhf-cb17b2` (example) or the single episode ID `p4yhf-cb17b2` (example) to render a single episode player.
