If you sell goods or services to consumers in Portugal, your website has to give visitors a visible, prominent way to reach the Livro de Reclamações Eletrónico, the Portuguese electronic complaints book. That requirement comes from Decreto-Lei n.º 156/2005, as amended by Decreto-Lei n.º 74/2017 (art. 9.º-A). In practice, businesses meet it by displaying the official logo, linked to livroreclamacoes.pt.
Doing that by hand usually means hunting down the logo file, uploading it, wiring up the link, and then discovering it looks wrong against your footer background. So we built a plugin that does it for you.
Naked Cat Logo for Livro de Reclamações Eletrónico is free and available on WordPress.org today.
Two ways to add it
The plugin gives you a [livro_reclamacoes] shortcode and a matching block. Both run through exactly the same rendering code, so whichever you pick, the output is identical.
Drop the block into your footer template, or put the shortcode in a widget area, a page, or anywhere else that accepts one.
It adapts to your design
The logo is rendered as an inline SVG, not a fixed image file, which means it stays sharp at any size and can actually match your site instead of fighting it:
- Color: official red (the default), blue, black, white, or any custom color you like.
- Inner lettering: the “LIVRO DE” text inside the circle can stay as transparent cutouts (the default) or be painted in a solid color. When you fill it, the plugin automatically picks a contrasting color: white on red, blue or black, black on white. With a custom color, you can set the lettering color yourself.
- Width: any CSS width value. The height always scales automatically, and the logo never overflows its container.
- Link target: open livroreclamacoes.pt in a new tab (the default) or the same one.
Every option is available both in the block sidebar and as a shortcode argument:
[livro_reclamacoes letters_filled="yes" color="blue" width="150px" target="_self"]
Code language: JSON / JSON with Comments (json)No WooCommerce required
This one is worth spelling out, because most of what we build is WooCommerce related: this plugin is not. It has no dependency on WooCommerce or on any other plugin. It works on any WordPress site, whether you run a shop, a booking system, or a plain brochure site. The legal requirement applies to businesses selling to consumers, not to shops running a particular piece of software.

This is an independent third-party plugin. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or developed by the Direção-Geral do Consumidor or the Portuguese Government. It helps you display the official logo, but it does not guarantee that your site is legally compliant: that depends on where and how you display the logo, your legal obligations, and any future changes to the law. If in doubt, talk to a legal professional.
