Implement emojis into your posts and pages. Using CSS, transparent PNGs seamlessly integrate with your favorite theme and color scheme.
This plugin shows emojis by using shortcodes. It will not override the default <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Smilies" title="WordPress Smileys" rel="nofollow ugc">Smileys</a>.
How To Use:
<ol>
<li>After activating this plugin, an emoji icon will appear next to your “Add Media” button above the editor window.</li>
<li>Click on that button to display the dropdown list of available emojis.</li>
<li>Click “Add Shortcode”, and the shortcode will automatically be added to your editor window.</li>
</ol>
Alternatively, you can type in your shortcode by hand using this format:
<pre><code>[sce emoji="happy" /]
</code></pre>
