Emoji Settings

ማብራሪያ

Quickly enable or disable emojis conversion with an option.

When you disable the option, Emoji Settings stops the conversion of ASCII smilies like :) and :D to images on any WordPress installation. This plugin also prevents changing real emojis to Twemoji (Twitter) images. It achieves this by removing several default WordPress scripts.

You can find the option at “Settings > Writing” (/wp-admin/options-writing.php).

This plugin does not prevent real emojis (inserted via an emoji keyboard) from being stored and outputted on your website.

Emoji conversion enabled by default

I wrote this plugin with a WordPress.com-like environment in mind, giving users an option without overriding standard WordPress behavior.

You can change this behavior via filter cw_emoji_overrides. Refer to the code for instructions.

Does more than “Disable Emojis”

Emoji Settings also fixes Character Encoding issues on sites originally installed with WP 4.2 or lower. And this plugin correctly removes the conversion of emojis in the admin area, for example, from post titles.

How do I disable emojis by default

You can implement this filter to achieve that:

add_filter( 'cw_emoji_overrides', function( $overrides ) {
    $overrides['default'] = '0'; // Set disabled by default.
    return $overrides;
} );

Changelog

2.0.0

  • Rewritten for improved performance.
  • Now requires PHP 7.2 or later.
  • Now requires WP 5.5 or later because it adds tests against PHP support.
  • All function and class names have changed due to added namespacing, hence the major version bump.
  • Added filter cw_emoji_overrides, accepts array [ 'default' => string 1|0, 'force_support' => ?bool ].
  • Removed confusing filter the_emoji_options.
  • Changed the option label from “Enable emoji support” to “Enable emoji conversion”: this plugin prevents the conversion; it does not prevent actual emojis from being stored and printed.

  • Now requires PHP 5.6 or later.
  • Tested up to WP 6.0.
