 * Does the ‘genesis_share_get_icon_output’ function still exist? Is there another
   shortcode to display the icons now?

 * OK, I was confusing the Genesis Simple Share output code. But, is there a way
   to output the Genesis Simple Social Icons in the same manner? By creating my 
   own shortcode?

 * I would like an answer to this as well. I’d like a shortcode to enter the icons
   at the bottom of a page.

 * Thanks for the feature request! I’ve logged this here: [https://github.com/copyblogger/simple-social-icons/issues/50](https://github.com/copyblogger/simple-social-icons/issues/50)
 * For now, you could consider adding an “after entry” widget area to your theme,
   then adding the Simple Social Icons widget to that area so it appears at the 
   foot of every post. Here’s an example of how to do that with a Genesis child 
   theme: [https://amethystwebsitedesign.com/add-genesis-after-entry-widget-to-pages-and-custom-post-types/](https://amethystwebsitedesign.com/add-genesis-after-entry-widget-to-pages-and-custom-post-types/)

 * So, there’s no built in function similar to the Genesis Simple Share’s ‘genesis_share_get_icon_output’
   to just be able to create our own shortcode to output the icons? Yes, I’ve put
   the icon widget in a widget then added an action to place it somewhere. But this
   particular instance I wanted to just be able to add a shortcode inside a text
   widget. Much more flexible.

 * [@thedude12x](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thedude12x/) The plugin’s designed
   around widget output for the Simple Social Icons widget only; there’s no general
   output function as with Genesis Simple Share.
 * Using the Simple Social Icon widget instead of (or in addition to) your text 
   widget is the best option right now. You could apply styling in your theme if
   the two widgets need to be closer together.
