Plugin Description
Replaces WordPress’ smileys (based on images) with font-based emoticons (see screenshots). Font-based emoticons have some advantages:
- They have the same size as the surrounding text. No more distorting the heights of lines containing smileys/emoticons. They always fit the font size.
- They have the same color as the surrounding text.
Note: This plugin was developed when WordPress was still using “pixel images” as emoticons. The current version of WordPress uses scalable vector images (SVG) – so they won’t distort your line heights anymore and look crisp on any size. This makes this plugin less useful than it once was – it now comes down to personal preference whether to use it.
The following emoticons are supported:
:) :-) (-: (: :smile::( :-( :sad:;) ;-) :wink::P :-P :razz:-.- -_- :sleep:>:) >:-) :devil: :twisted::o :-o :eek:8O 8o 8-O 8-o :shock: (No special icon for “shock” yet. Using “eek” instead.):coffee:8) 8-) B) B-) :cool::/ :-/:beer::D :-D :grin:x( x-( X( X-( :angry::x :-x :mad: (No special icon from “mad” yet. Using “angry” instead.)O:) 0:) o:) O:-) 0:-) o:-) :saint::'( :'-( :cry::shoot:|) :squint:^^ ^_^ :lol:
The following general purpose icons are supported:
:thumbs: :thumbsup::thumbsdown:<3 :heart::star:(/) (ok sign)(x) (cancel)(i)(?)(+)(-)
Notes:
- Emoticons/Icons must be surrounded with spaces (or other white space characters); e.g. the emoticon in
that:)smile won’t be replaced.
- Emoticons/Icons won’t be replaced in HTML tags nor inside of
<pre> or <code> blocks.
Use In Themes/Plugins
Font Emoticons are supported in most places where user defined text is displayed. However, there may be places in a
plugin or theme that are not supported by Font Emoticons.
In these cases, just apply the filter wp_font_emots_replace to the text that should display Font Emoticons.
For example, you would change the following PHP code:
<?php echo get_the_author_meta( 'description' ); ?>
to this code:
<?php echo apply_filters('wp_font_emots_replace', get_the_author_meta( 'description' )); ?>
That’s it.
Font Licenses
