WordPress – I want to add a disclaimer text to every post

I want to add a disclaimer text to every post with a link. From what I’ve seen before, the basic format is below:

add_filter( 'the_content', 'filter_the_content_in_the_main_loop' );
function filter_the_content_in_the_main_loop( $content ) {

    // Check if we're inside the main loop in a single post page.
    if ( is_single() && in_the_loop() && is_main_query() ) {

       return esc_html__("This website is intended to inform and educate, and shouldn't be taken as financial advice. It also uses affiliate links, including those from Amazon. If you make a purchase via one of the links marked with an *, we might receive a small commission. Find out more here.").$content;
    }

    return $content;
}

What’s the extra bit of code I need to turn "Find out more here" into a link to a specific page on the website?

I haven’t seen anything that includes a link as well as text.

    You can edit your return string to include an hyperlink (or any HTML), like this:

    return ("This website is intended to inform and educate, and shouldn't be taken as financial advice. It also uses affiliate links, including those from Amazon. If you make a purchase via one of the links marked with an *, we might receive a small commission. <a href='/url-of-info-page/'>Find out more here</a>.".$content;

    You will need to remove the esc_html part, since this will escape the HTML you are returning, rendering it useless.

    The links or other HTML getting removed because you are using esc_html__ which is basically escape the HTML.

    In order to fix this either you can remove esc_html__ or use wp_kses_post function.

    add_filter( 'the_content', 'filter_the_content_in_the_main_loop' );

function filter_the_content_in_the_main_loop( $content ) {

    // Here we are checking if we're inside the main loop in a single post page.
    if ( is_single() && in_the_loop() && is_main_query() ) {

        // Here is the disclaimer text with a link.
        $disclaimer = "This website is intended to inform and educate, and shouldn't be taken as financial advice. It also uses affiliate links, including those from Amazon. If you make a purchase via one of the links marked with an *, we might receive a small commission. <a href='https://yourwebsite.com/your-disclaimer-page'>Find out more here</a>.";

        // Here we are returning the disclaimer followed by the content.
        return wp_kses_post( $disclaimer ) . $content;
    }

    return $content;
}
