Hello all!

Is it only me or it’s currently not possible to a website to the Clubs profile/settings?

Recently, I have noticed that the website which was set in the Strava Club’s settings disappeared. I tried to add it to the Website section in the Settings, but after hitting the “Save changes” button, the website is simply not added. If I return to the club’s settings, the Website sections is empty again. 

Is there anything special I need to do to get it work? I am using a valid URL including https://

Thank you in advance!

Hello ​@Steevensk welcome to STRAVA Community Hub,

a few weeks ago strava was “overrun” by a flood of SPAM/SCAM, phishing posts and links, so they decided to stop allowing URLs (for now). You can find more here:


I also hope that STRAVA will change this again, because even my harmless links to Apple/Spotify playlists e.g. were all deleted. :-(

Hi and thanks for your response. It’s a quite radical solution to an existing problem. Also a bit confusing as the field is still available to populate. 
The link could be at least displayed as text (not clickable) or something. 
 

Hope the Strava team will be able to figure out a safe & working solution.

I completely agree with you.

FWIW: The link field in club profiles is working again. I was able to add it back to a club I’m admin of a couple days ago.
