Reviews

Perfect plugin to add the FTC and Amazon required disclosures on posts and pages! It’s basic and simple which is what makes this plugin so awesome. I looked at other plugins but they don’t work this easily (to add disclosure to all posts and pages by checking a box) and some of the other plugins don’t even generate FTC-compliant disclousres like this plugin. It’s 2021, and the plugin hasn’t been updated in awhile, so hopefully the developer updates it soon. It would be a shame for it to go MIA.

When I decide to enter any platform whether it is social media or eCommerce affiliate I make sure to be compliant. Why go thru the trouble of building then get banned. This plugin was simple to install and gave me a little more peace of mind. Glad they created it.
