 * Hi, Thank you for this lightweight plugin. It is beautiful and fast. I have some
   feature request which might be helpful for most of the users.
 * 1. Shortcodes – Please add a shortcode to output social buttons on any location.
   
   2. Repositioning – Please add a location box option to put a hook location or
   what is the way to reposition the buttons? I have tried this but it is not working.
 *     ```
       remove_filter( 'shared_counts_theme_locations', 'genesis_entry_header', 13 );
   
       remove_filter( 'shared_counts_theme_locations', 'genesis_entry_footer', 8 );
       ```
   
 * 3. Additional customization – Add a separate customization option for header 
   and footer location so one can use a different number of buttons, styles on each
   location (entry header and entry footer).
 * Thank you.

 * You can use the `[shared_counts]` shortcode to output the share buttons in any
   location.
 * By default it will use the style set in Settings > Shared Counts, but you can
   use a different style like this: `[shared_counts style="icon"]`. Here’s a list
   of the [available styles](https://github.com/jaredatch/Shared-Counts/blob/develop/includes/class-shared-counts-admin.php#L413-L422).
 * Here’s a tutorial on how to use the `shared_counts_theme_locations` filter to
   change what hook is used: [https://www.billerickson.net/code/shared-counts-theme-location/](https://www.billerickson.net/code/shared-counts-theme-location/)
 * You can also use that filter to change what style is used for that specific location.
   The following code moves the “Before” location to the `be_before_content` hook
   and uses the “icon” style, while the “After” location is moved to `be_after_content`
   and uses the “fancy” style.

 * Thank you.
 * It is working. is it possible to display specific i.e limit social icons in the
   shortcode?
 * That would be great.
 * Thanks.

 * No, currently the shortcode lists the social services selected in the settings
   page. That’s a great idea though. I’ve posted it as an issue and it will hopefully
   be included in the next version.
 * See: [https://github.com/jaredatch/Shared-Counts/issues/69](https://github.com/jaredatch/Shared-Counts/issues/69)
 * When I need to display specific share buttons I’ll usually use the internal link()
   method. I’m working on a site right now that has a “Share this Recipe” shortcode
   that includes Pinterest, Facebook Share, and Email buttons:

 * See the core code for more information on using this method: [https://github.com/jaredatch/Shared-Counts/blob/develop/includes/class-shared-counts-front.php#L440](https://github.com/jaredatch/Shared-Counts/blob/develop/includes/class-shared-counts-front.php#L440)
