    Hello, I would like to know how can I add url to the icons with color hover.

    I can get the icons, but I cannot link it to social media pages.
    For example, how can I link this to my youtube account:
    [icon_box icon_style=”large” icon=”youtube” color=”#c1c1c1″ color_hover=”#e24118″]

    Hello,

    You need use this shortcode [share] to add social media icons. To add your own links you need edit the file wp-content/themes/legenda/framework/shortcodes.php (section “! Share This Product” on line 1238). Find the code, for example, for Facebook: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u='.$permalink.'&images='.$image.'" target="_blank"><span class="icon-facebook"></span></a> and edit this part http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u='.$permalink.'&images='.$image.', replace it with your url.

    Thanks for the info. But I don’t want to share any of my products. I just want them when they click on facebook icon , it will take them to my facebook account. I want something like you guys have in the first page. Here is the link: http://kentfieldfitness.com/social-icons-follow-up.jpg

    But I would like to have them with a little larger icons.

    Thanks,

    Hello

    You may add following code:
    <div class="my-icons"><a class="link-twitter" href="https://twitter.com/8theme" target="_blank"><i class="icon-twitter"></i></a><a class="link-facebook" href="https://www.facebook.com/8theme" target="_blank"><i class="icon-facebook"></i></a><a class="link-youtube" href="http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiZY0AJRFoKhLrkCXomrfmA" target="_blank"><i class="icon-youtube"></i></a><a class="link-google-plus" href="https://plus.google.com/u/0/+8theme/posts" target="_blank"><i class="icon-google-plus"></i></a></div>
    Then you will be able to change links and adjust styles for this element in custom.css.

    With best regards

    Hello,

    Try to use this code instead of the previous one:

    <div class="custom-info-block a-left"><span>Follow Us:</span>
    <a href="#"><i class="icon-youtube"> </i></a>
    <a href="#"><i class="icon-twitter"> </i></a>
    <a href="#"><i class="icon-facebook"> </i></a>
    <a href="#"><i class="icon-rss"> </i></a></div>

    Eva Kemp.
