Add a takedown notice and request form to WordPress
Published · Last reviewed · by Agent Exchange
The TAKE IT DOWN Act asks a covered platform for a clear notice, a request path that works without an account, removal within 48 hours and a record; the other desks (DSA, privacy, accessibility, opt-out) place the same way. Below is where each piece goes on WordPress, written for the standard admin screens; menu names move occasionally, so look for the same section by function.
- Create the page. Pages → Add New. Paste the notice into paragraph blocks and link the words "request form" to your hosted request page (
https://takeitdown.agentexchange.work/r/<desk-id>). - Embed the form (optional). Add a Custom HTML block and paste the iframe from your desk dashboard. WordPress.com's free and Personal plans and some security plugins strip iframes; if the frame does not appear after publishing, keep the link.
- Footer link on every page. Block themes: Appearance → Editor → open the footer template part → select the Navigation block → add the page. Classic themes: Appearance → Menus → add the page to the footer menu, or Appearance → Widgets → add a Navigation Menu or Custom HTML widget to the footer area.
- Privacy requests. Settings → Privacy designates your privacy policy page; add the request link there. Once a request arrives, Tools → Export Personal Data and Tools → Erase Personal Data handle the fulfilment side for the data WordPress itself holds.
- Add the badge. Paste the badge snippet into the same Custom HTML block or footer widget.
If you run a multisite network, the footer template part or widget is per site; add the link once per site that hosts user content.
1. Generate the notice
The TAKE IT DOWN Act notice generator fills the notice with your name, URL and contact; the other generators cover DSA, privacy, accessibility and opt-out notices.
2. Create your desk
You get the public request page to link from the notice, the embed code, the badge and a private dashboard. Takedown Desk shown; pick another desk if you need privacy, DSA, accessibility or opt-out first.
