ugly emojis code is gone, clean head. Thanks!

Works good.

seem ok

This plugin works as advertised. I used it to prevent double emojis from showing up—unfortunately, when you include an emoji, the WordPress emoji scripts load a second emoji right after it, so you see double emoji, and if your images are displayed block you’ll see the second emoji on a new line.

I also took a look at the plugin’s source code and it looks good—just the bare minimum required to do what it says.

I would highly recommend this plugin if you like to put in your own emojis and aren’t worried about supporting older devices that do not have emojis.

Although it does remove emoji styles, it still does not remove everything related to emojis.

WordPress still replaces 🙂 with an emoji unicode.
I have read support thread where author says it is as intended, I just have to go to wp-admin/options-writing.php and disable Convert emoticons like <code>:-)</code> and <code>:-P</code> to graphics on display', the thing is, my wp 4.9.1 doesn’t have this setting there.

Had to traverse WP sources, found if ( get_site_option( 'initial_db_version' ) < 32453 ) condition there. Ultimately, that hidden piece of code modifies wp_options checked('1', get_option('use_smilies'). After I manually changed option with name use_smilies, wp finally stopped replacing 🙂 with emoji unicode.

That’s WAY too much moves for a person, who has installed and used to trust „Disable Emojis“ plugin. If it says „Disable Emojis“ it MUST disable emojis. It shouldn’t be my task to dig wp sources for weird hidden options. Could please you do this work?

There is also a filter, something like ‚convert_smilies‘, this plugin could probably also disable it to override some behaviour. But automatically changing option ‚use_smilies‘ to default 0 would be expected.

Thanks a lot!
