 * Hi there,
    Trying to add the Ultimate Social Icons and Share Plugin as a widget
   on my main left panel. (Under the PDF offer) I have tried the basic code [DISPLAY_ULTIMATE_SOCIAL_ICONS]
   and the full one <?php echo do_shortcode(‘[DISPLAY_ULTIMATE_SOCIAL_ICONS]’); ?
   > but both show as ERROR when I try to update.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fproblem-adding-code-for-widget-social-media%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Could you please check if the “Place icons manually” option is selected under
   question number 3 in the plugin?

 * I have highlighted the
 * Place via shortcode
    Please use the shortcode [DISPLAY_ULTIMATE_SOCIAL_ICONS]
   to place the icons anywhere you want.
 * I cannot see a “Place icons manually” option available.
