<p>Local Twemoji is a WordPress plugin to serve fallback emoji images from your own site URL rather than the WordPress.org CDN.</p>
<p>The purpose of this plugin is to aid sites served over a CDN as browsers now cache requests on a per site basis rather than globally.</p>
<p>The effect of this is that the WordPress.org CDN’s splat image is treated as two different images if downloaded from site-one.example and site-two.example. You can read more about this in the Chrome post on <a href="https://developer.chrome.com/blog/http-cache-partitioning" rel="nofollow ugc">cache partitioning</a>.</p>
<p>For sites served over a CDN, downloading the image from your own URL will be quicker as it reduces the number of servers the visitor’s browser needs to connect to.</p>
<h4>WordPress version support</h4>
<p>A new version of Twemoji is released each time the emoji are added to the Unicode specification, each major version bump of Twemoji will contain new images.</p>
<p>To avoid the risk of serving broken images to your visitors, this plugin should be kept up to date.</p>
<ul>
<li>WordPress 6.9 requires Local Twemoji 1.3.1 or later</li>
<li>Earlier versions of WordPress require Local Twemoji 1.1.0 or later</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>Quickly enable or disable emojis conversion with an option.</strong></p>
<p>When you disable the option, Emoji Settings stops the conversion of ASCII smilies like <code>:)</code> and <code>:D</code> 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.</p>
<p>You can find the option at “Settings > Writing” (<code>/wp-admin/options-writing.php</code>).</p>
<p>This plugin does not prevent real emojis (inserted via an emoji keyboard) from being stored and outputted on your website.</p>
<h4>Emoji conversion enabled by default</h4>
<p>I wrote this plugin with a WordPress.com-like environment in mind, giving users an option without overriding standard WordPress behavior.</p>
<p>You can change this behavior via filter <code>cw_emoji_overrides</code>. Refer to the code for instructions.</p>
<h4>Does more than “Disable Emojis”</h4>
<p>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.</p>
<h4>Translating</h4>
<p>You can contribute by translating Emoji Settings via the sidebar on this page.</p>

Thanks Sybre for giving back this option!



Options, not decisions

Convenient and useful

Emoji Settings adds an option to your Writing Settings page to toggle emoji conversion to images.
