 * Hello,
 * I would like to include a shortcode in a very specific place. My social icons
   are called “Socials-buttons”. How do I solve this problem? I have not yet found
   a shortcode which I can include in PHP or HTML page 🙂
 * Looking forward to hear from you,

 * Thank you,
 * I guess when in a regular post this should be correct?
 * `[sc name="Socials-buttons"]`
 * However, not working…

 * Sorry for not beeing accurate.
 * I mean in my single posts I have included the following code in the Visual Editor:
 * `[sc name=”Socials-buttons”]`
 * On my website the code above is just shown. No social buttons, error or anything.
   Not sure how I should approach this problem as I am not sure where the problem
   is.

 * Hello again,
 * I see that the post has been marked as resolved. But that is incorrect. Problem
   is not solved.
 * As mentioned above:
    On my website the code above is just shown. No social buttons,
   error or anything. Not sure how I should approach this problem as I am not sure
   where the problem is.

 * I’m extremely sorry.
    I had another plugin related to “shortcodes” I was under
   assumption this issue is related to it.
 * Please do the following.
 * 1) Click the “cog” icon next to the social button in WP Socializer page.
    2) 
   In the bottom left corner, you will see the shortcode for that button. 3) Copy
   that. 4) Go to any editor (TEXT MODE) and paste it.
 * Screenshots:

 * NOTE: If you are using any external plugin, please confirm with that developer
   first that the editor support shortcodes.
 * Thanks,
    Aakash
