Font Emoticons Reviews, Downloads & Maintenance

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.
They have the same color as the surrounding text.

Note: This plugin was developed when WordPress was still using “pixel images” 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.

The following emoticons are supported:

Use In Themes/Plugins

plugin or theme that are not supported by Font Emoticons.
In these cases, just apply the filter wp_font_emots_replace to the text that should display Font Emoticons.
For example, you would change the following PHP code:


to this code:


That’s it.

`Changelog`

`1.5.0`



Change: Font-Emoticons is now hosted as Git repo on GitHub. (Thus, the issue numbering will reset.)
Change: font-emoticons now uses a (hopefully) a better way to disable WordPress’ own emoticons.

1.4.1

Feature: Added general purpose filter called wp_font_emots_replace. This filter can be used to replace emoticons in places not supported by this plugin.

1.4.0

Feature: Implemented rudimentary bbpress support. I don’t use bbpress, so some parts may still no display emoticons correctly. (issue #10)
Feature: Emoticons are now also replace in the text sidebar widget.
Fix: emoticons.css no longer gets an unnecessary ?v= parameter attached (WordPress does this automatically on its own); also made the style’s name more unique so that it’s less likely to conflict with other plugins.
Fix: Replaced usage of internal constant WP_PLUGIN_URL with plugins_url()

1.3.1

Fix: Self closing span (<span/>) seems to be invalid in some cases. Replaced it with regular <span></span> (issue #8)

1.3

Feature: New emoticon “squint”: |) or :squint:
Feature: Added some general purpose icons like <3 (heart) or :thumbsdown: (:thumbsup: got changed to icon from emoticon)
Change: PHP 5.3 is now required
Change: “devil” and “eek” got more text representations; “smile” now also supports the Australian version (-:
Change: Made font and css classes more unique so that they don’t interfer with other icon fonts (issue #7)
Fix: Multiple consecutive emoticons are now parsed correctly (issue #5); emoticons surrounded by HTML tags (like <li>:)</li>) are now parsed correctly.
Fix: Wider emoticons now flow correctly with surrounding text (no longer overlap it) (issue #4)

1.2

Emoticons are now supported in comments and excerpts. (issue #1)

1.1

Emoticons are no longer replaced in URLs. Instead they now require surrounding white space.
Emoticons at the beginning and the end of posts are recognized now.

First release.
