Block for Strava vs Shortcodes Ultimate – Content Elements

Block for Strava lets you share your Strava activities, routes, and segments on your WordPress site. Paste a link from Strava and the official Strava embed appears in your post — interactive map, elevation profile, stats, and all. There’s nothing to set up. No accounts to connect, no keys to copy, no extra software. If you can paste a link, you can use this plugin. What you can do: Paste a Strava link and turn it into a rich, interactive embed Embed any public activity, route, or segment — and your own private activities too (see the FAQ) Customize how routes look: map style, terrain, units, full-width display, dirt-surface highlighting, and an elevation toggle See exactly what your readers will see, right in the editor as you make changes Already typed a Strava link inside a paragraph? Click the paragraph and use the block toolbar’s “Transform to” menu to swap it for a Strava block A note about private activities: If your Strava activity is set to “Followers” or “Only You”, open it on Strava, click Share → Embed, and copy the embed code Strava gives you. Paste that on its own line in your post and the block takes care of the rest. Trademark Notice: Strava is a trademark of Strava Inc. This plugin is not affiliated with or endorsed by Strava Inc. External services This plugin uses Strava’s public embed feature to display your content. When someone views a page with a Strava block, their browser loads the embed directly from https://strava-embeds.com/. As part of that, Strava may receive normal request information from the visitor — such as their IP address, browser type, your site’s domain (not the full page URL), and the ID of the activity, route, or segment being shown. For private activities, the embed code you paste from Strava includes a share code. That share code is what tells Strava it’s allowed to display the activity, and it’s sent to Strava every time the embed loads. For Strava short links (the kind that start with https://strava.app.link/), your site asks Strava what the full link is and remembers the answer for up to a day, so the same link doesn’t trigger a fresh lookup on every visit. After that the check happens again. These checks only go to strava.app.link or strava.com. External service: Strava public embeds (strava-embeds.com, strava.app.link, strava.com), operated by Strava, Inc.
