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.
