 * Hi there,
 * I am trying to display the share buttons via the [ssba] shortcode in the meta
   content of the post. The meta content is displayed at the end of each post.
 * However, when I use the shortcode, I lose the specific post content that is normally
   shared aka direct link to post. This does not happen when I use the main settings
   panels to place the share buttons ‘before’ or ‘after’. But I can not use the 
   default settings placement since it doesn’t give me flexibility with formatting.
 * I was wondering if you knew how to implement the share buttons in the meta content
   while retaining the post link?
 * Thanks in advance,
 * Vikas

 * Hi Vikas,
 * When using the shortcode it should make its best attempt to use the current URL
   and title if available.
 * You can add the title and URL attributes manually if this helps:
 * `[ssba title="Your title" url="http://yourdomain.com"]`
 * Hope that helps,
 * David
