 * Hello,
 * Would it be possible in a future update to add a “custom” placement option? Currently
   I have it set for “after” and just commented out the code that displays the after
   placement so there wouldn’t be 2 instances of the share buttons.

 * Could you explain more please Ricky?
 * You can always use the shortcode [ssba] to place the buttons wherever you wish.
 * Thanks,
 * David

 * Hi David – thanks again for the great plugin.
 * > You can always use the shortcode [ssba] to place the buttons wherever you wish.
 * I’m not sure if it’s just me BUT the shortcode isn’t working for me at all. I’ve
   tried putting it in my theme template and in my widgets but it just doesn’t execute.
 * I’ve tried posting both [ssba] and `<?php echo do_shortcode('[ssba]'); ?>` in
   various places to see what works!
 * I’m using StudioPress Genesis – do you think there’s a conflict somewhere? Has
   anybody else (who might be reading this) successfully used the shortcode with
   Genesis?
 * I’m using plenty of other shortcodes in both widgets and the template with no
   issue.
 * Any ideas about what to check first? What to look for? I’m fairly proficient 
   with WordPress & PHP but not amazing, so I’d need pointers!!
 * Cheers in advance for any help

 * It says this is resolved but I don’t see a response to the final question – I’m
   also having trouble finding where to put this code in my theme’s file. I’ve tried
   functions.php and that seems to be the only place that makes sense. Please advise!
