Description
Make your header clean, lean, and mean.
Emoji support is now so widespread that this feature should no longer belong to the WordPress core — and certainly not on every page of every WordPress site.
But I noticed that other plugins don’t completely work, so that’s why I created this plugin.
Simply activate this plugin to completely — and correctly — remove the built-in support for emojis that was added in WordPress v4.2.
Features
- Built using WordPress API and standards.
- Works out of the box with no configuration and setup.
- Compatible with the classic editor.
- Clean and lean code.
Installation
Frequently Asked Questions
I encourage (actually, highly recommend) you to browse the source code and see it for yourself.
TL;DR: Other plugins don’t work correctly.
The goal is to update the code of this plugin until (hopefully) WordPress removes the emojis feature from its core.
