Strava bulk privacy edit

25/09/19

Do you have plenty of activity and you want to change the privacy settings for all of them? Than this little script will help you.

How does it work?

If you go to the Strava page: https://www.strava.com/athlete/training, you will se all your activities, grouped in pages of 20 activities each. Each row is an activity and you can easily click the edit button, then change the privacy settings and finally Save. This is easy, but what if you have plenty of activities? Then I suggest you to use this little script.

Ok, but how?

If you are using Chrome, then just right-click on the page, then click, in the menu that appears, Inspect (it should be the last voice). A new fancy full-of-stuff panel will open then. Now click the Console tab in that panel and just copy-and-paste this code:

document
  .querySelectorAll('.training-activity-row')
  .forEach(row => {
    // clicking "Edit" link
    row
      .querySelector('.quick-edit')
      .click()

    // setting new value. Possible choices are:
    // everyone, followers_only, only_me
    row
      .querySelector('.visibility-select select')
      .value = 'only_me'

    // save!
    row
      .querySelector('.edit-actions')
      .querySelector('button')
      .click()
  })

As you can see, this code will do exactly what you can do by hand:

• clicks Edit link on each row (remember? Each row is an activity)
• changes the privacy value (change to whatever you want)
• clicks Save

In a second it will change 20 activity privacy settings. Now move to the next page and just redo.

Funny, huh?

Does it work?

Yes. I changed the privacy for over 500 activities in seconds.
