Adding a disclaimer to your website is a simple yet effective way to communicate important information to your site visitors. Disclaimers can also help limit your legal liability in certain cases. While not every website or blog will necessarily need a disclaimer, some certainly should have one.

Common types of websites that should definitely have a disclaimer include sites where:

  • Medical or health advice or information is shared
  • Financial or investment tips are offered
  • Instructions or step-by-step guides are made available
  • Products are sold
  • Personal opinions are shared
  • Affiliate links are embedded

For examples of common disclaimers and an explanation of the benefits of each, check out our article on Disclaimer Examples. For assistance creating your disclaimer, our Sample Disclaimer Template is a popular resource.

Our Disclaimer Generator can generate a legal disclaimer for your business, website or mobile app. Just follow these steps:

  1. At Step 1, select where your Disclaimer will be used.

On-Page and In-Post Disclaimers

On-Page and In-Post Disclaimers

Linking to your Disclaimer in a site footer or sidebar menu is a universal, smart way to make sure your disclaimer is noticeable and easily accessible. However, sometimes you may need or want to include your disclaimer directly in the text of a blog post, article or page on your blog.

For example, if you create a post that has affiliate links, you're required by the FTC to make sure that the post is clearly labeled as having affiliate links. One way to do this is to include a link directly within the post that goes to the Disclaimer page you just created.

Here's how Katie over at the Wellness Mama blog discloses that posts contain affiliate links. She adds this statement at the beginning of articles where they're sure to be noticed, and links off to her affiliate policy page:

Wellness Mama blog article with affiliate link disclosure and policy link highlighted

You could do something similar with your posts and link to the Disclaimer page you learned to create earlier in the article. This method works well regardless of what type of disclaimer you use.

After you create the Disclaimer or Disclaimers that you'd like (or need) on your WordPress website:

  • Create a Disclaimer page in your WordPress Dashboard
  • Link this page to a static area of your site (footer, sidebar, etc.) via your WordPress Dashboard
  • For added transparency, link your Disclaimer page within your individual posts or to other pages of your WordPress website
