<p>Replaces WordPress’ smileys (based on images) with font-based emoticons (see screenshots). Font-based emoticons have some advantages:</p>
<ul>
<li>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.</li>
<li>They have the same color as the surrounding text.</li>
</ul>
<p><em>Note:</em> This plugin was developed when WordPress was still using <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Smilies#What_Text_Do_I_Type_to_Make_Smileys.3F" rel="nofollow ugc">“pixel images”</a> 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.</p>
<p>The following emoticons are supported:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>:)</code> <code>:-)</code> <code>(-:</code> <code>(:</code> <code>:smile:</code></li>
<li><code>:(</code> <code>:-(</code> <code>:sad:</code></li>
<li><code>;)</code> <code>;-)</code> <code>:wink:</code></li>
<li><code>:P</code> <code>:-P</code> <code>:razz:</code></li>
<li><code>-.-</code> <code>-_-</code> <code>:sleep:</code></li>
<li><code>>:)</code> <code>>:-)</code> <code>:devil:</code> <code>:twisted:</code></li>
<li><code>:o</code> <code>:-o</code> <code>:eek:</code></li>
<li><code>8O</code> <code>8o</code> <code>8-O</code> <code>8-o</code> <code>:shock:</code>   (No special icon for “shock” yet. Using “eek” instead.)</li>
<li><code>:coffee:</code></li>
<li><code>8)</code> <code>8-)</code> <code>B)</code> <code>B-)</code> <code>:cool:</code></li>
<li><code>:/</code> <code>:-/</code></li>
<li><code>:beer:</code></li>
<li><code>:D</code> <code>:-D</code> <code>:grin:</code></li>
<li><code>x(</code> <code>x-(</code> <code>X(</code> <code>X-(</code> <code>:angry:</code></li>
<li><code>:x</code> <code>:-x</code> <code>:mad:</code>   (No special icon from “mad” yet. Using “angry” instead.)</li>
<li><code>O:)</code> <code>0:)</code> <code>o:)</code> <code>O:-)</code> <code>0:-)</code> <code>o:-)</code> <code>:saint:</code></li>
<li><code>:'(</code> <code>:'-(</code> <code>:cry:</code></li>
<li><code>:shoot:</code></li>
<li><code>|)</code> <code>:squint:</code></li>
<li><code>^^</code> <code>^_^</code> <code>:lol:</code></li>
</ul>
<p>The following general purpose icons are supported:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>:thumbs:</code> <code>:thumbsup:</code></li>
<li><code>:thumbsdown:</code></li>
<li><code><3</code> <code>:heart:</code></li>
<li><code>:star:</code></li>
<li><code>(/)</code> (ok sign)</li>
<li><code>(x)</code> (cancel)</li>
<li><code>(i)</code></li>
<li><code>(?)</code></li>
<li><code>(+)</code></li>
<li><code>(-)</code></li>
</ul>
<p>Notes:</p>
<ul>
<li>Emoticons/Icons must be surrounded with spaces (or other white space characters); e.g. the emoticon in <code>that:)smile</code> won’t be replaced.</li>
<li>Emoticons/Icons won’t be replaced in HTML tags nor inside of <code><pre></code> or <code><code></code> blocks.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Use In Themes/Plugins</h3>
<p>Font Emoticons are supported in most places where user defined text is displayed. However, there may be places in a<br />
plugin or theme that are not supported by Font Emoticons.</p>
<p>In these cases, just apply the filter <strong>wp_font_emots_replace</strong> to the text that should display Font Emoticons.</p>
<p>For example, you would change the following PHP code:</p>
<pre><code><?php echo get_the_author_meta( 'description' ); ?>
</code></pre>
<p>to this code:</p>
<pre><code><?php echo apply_filters('wp_font_emots_replace', get_the_author_meta( 'description' )); ?>
</code></pre>
<p>That’s it.</p>
<h3>Font Licenses</h3>
<p>The emoticons used in this plugin are based on the fonts “Fontelico” and “Font Awesome”.</p>

Jenst

<p>WordPress has yet no settings for changing the smileys. This plugin disables WordPress default smileys and allows you to choose what smileys to use. If you have created an own smiley pack you can use that one as well.</p>
<h4>Settings</h4>
<ul>
<li>Choose own smiley gallery directory</li>
<li>Choose a smiley pack included with WP Smiley Switcher</li>
<li>Enable / disable smileys with posts / pages</li>
<li>Enable / disable smileys with comments</li>
</ul>
