Block For Strava Wordpress Plugin - Rating, Reviews, Demo & Download
Plugin Description
Block for Strava adds a single block to the editor that embeds Strava activities, routes, and segments inside a sandboxed iframe. Public resources embed from a URL; followers-only and private activities embed via the share-dialog snippet from Strava (which carries a per-share token sent to Strava as part of the iframe URL).
When a visitor views a post containing the block, their browser loads the embed iframe directly from strava-embeds.com; for short share links (strava.app.link/…), the site server makes a HEAD request to Strava to resolve the canonical URL. See the External services section below for full details.
Features:
- One Gutenberg block — find “Strava” in the inserter, paste a URL, done
- Pasting a Strava URL on its own line in post content (or the share-dialog snippet) auto-converts to the Strava block — when typed inside paragraph text, the block toolbar’s “Transform to Strava” finishes the conversion
- Supports full URLs (
strava.com/activities/…,strava.com/routes/…,strava.com/segments/…), short share links (strava.app.link/…), and the share-dialog embed snippet (with token, for non-public activities) - Per-route options for map style, terrain, units, full-width, dirt-surface highlight, and elevation toggle
- Front-end pages render the official Strava embed (interactive map, elevation profile, etc.) inside a cross-origin sandboxed iframe with
referrerpolicy=origin - Live in-editor preview with route options applied
- No API key needed; visitors don’t need a Strava account either (only authors embedding non-public activities need a logged-in Strava session to copy the share-dialog snippet)

External services
This plugin embeds Strava content through Strava’s public embed service.
When a visitor views a post containing a Strava embed, their browser requests
the embed iframe from https://strava-embeds.com/. Strava may receive request
data such as the visitor’s IP address, browser user agent, referring site
origin, and the Strava activity, route, or segment ID in the embed URL.
For followers-only or private activities, the share-dialog snippet pasted into
the block carries a per-share token that the plugin saves as part of the block’s
attributes and appends to the iframe URL on the front end (?token=…). The
token is sent to Strava on every request for that embed and is what authorizes
the iframe to render the non-public activity.
When a Strava short share link (https://strava.app.link/…) is embedded, the
site server makes a HEAD request to strava.app.link and follows redirects
only to strava.app.link or strava.com to resolve the public activity, route,
or segment URL. Resolved URLs are cached temporarily in WordPress transients.
