VB Disable Emojis is a lightweight performance plugin that completely removes emoji support from WordPress.
It disables all emoji-related scripts, styles and integrations across the entire site: 
– frontend 
– admin panel 
– TinyMCE editor 
– RSS feeds 
– emails
There are no settings, no configuration and no database writes. 
Activate the plugin to disable emojis. Deactivate it to restore default WordPress behavior.
Perfect for websites where emojis are not intentionally used and performance overhead should be minimized.

WordPress comes with a built-in replacement function that turns 🙂 etc. into emojis. If you need to switch this off, simply install and activate this plugin. It’s that simple.

Really Disable Emojis

Disables the automatic emojis (smilies) replacement function. Really! :-)
