WordPress imprint and privacy management
Impressum Plus is the paid version of Impressum, a WordPress plugin for creating and maintaining an imprint directly from the WordPress dashboard. It is designed for sites that need more than the fields available for an individual person, with support for a wide variety of legal entities and additional tools for privacy, accessibility, automation, and development workflows.
After setup, Impressum guides you through the relevant form fields for your legal notices. The generated imprint can be displayed on your site with the Imprint block or the [impressum] shortcode. This lets you choose where the information appears while keeping the data inside your own WordPress installation rather than sending it to a third-party server.
Capabilities in Impressum Plus
- Support for AG, e.K., e.V., eG, Einzelkaufmann, GbR, GesbR, gGmbH, GmbH, GmbH & Co. KG, KG, KGaA, OHG, Partnership, UG (haftungsbeschränkt), and UG (haftungsbeschränkt) & Co. KG.
- A feature-rich and automated privacy policy generator.
- An accessibility information generator.
- A preset for new sites in a multisite installation.
- An extensive REST API for updating data.
- WP-CLI support.
- Additional filters for developers.
Practical workflow
Begin by entering the information requested in the guided dashboard forms. Impressum uses those details to generate the imprint within WordPress. You can then place the output where visitors should find it, either by inserting the Imprint block or by adding the shortcode to a suitable page or content area.
Impressum also monitors changes to legal requirements. When content can be updated automatically, it will do so; when a change cannot be made automatically, it asks for your help. This provides a way to keep the generated legal content under review from within the installation.
For sites operated by an organization or another supported legal entity, Impressum Plus adds the necessary entity choices listed above. Its privacy policy generator and accessibility information generator extend the output beyond the imprint itself, while the REST API and WP-CLI support can fit sites that use administrative or developer-led workflows.
Use cases
Impressum Plus can suit business websites, organizational sites, and multisite projects that need structured legal information in WordPress. The multisite preset can help prepare new sites with a starting configuration, while developer filters provide additional ways to adapt the plugin’s behavior.
The plugin is also relevant when privacy and accessibility information should be managed alongside the imprint. Because the data remains within the WordPress installation, the legal content can be prepared and served from the same site where it is used.
Installation and setup
- Install and activate Impressum Plus in WordPress.
- Complete the guided form fields with the information required for your imprint.
- Review the generated content and add the Imprint block to a page or location on your site.
- Alternatively, place the [impressum] shortcode where the imprint should appear.
- Configure the privacy policy, accessibility information, multisite preset, REST API, or WP-CLI workflow as needed.
Impressum documentation is available from epiph.yt, and the plugin is published by epiphyt.
