Hey Jose,

Try adding this to your `functions.php` file.

```auto
function call_bb_social_icons() {
    ob_start();
    FLTheme::social_icons();
    return ob_get_clean();
}
add_shortcode('bb_social_icons', 'call_bb_social_icons');

```

You can then try calling those icons using the shortcode `[bb_social_icons]`. Let us know how it goes! 🙂

Ben
