Strava BuddyPress / PeepSo Integration Plugin Frequently Asked Questions
Is there any way to see all the Strava information for a particular user?
Yes. The plugin has two handy widgets for that purpose. One shows all the user information in one place and it’s possible to filter the data by set periods, like months. The other shows all the information of the user whose profile is being accessed by the visitor.
To learn more about how this Widget works and is set up see this Help article.
Will maps appear on the PeepSo or BuddyPress streams?
