is equivalent to ![]()
is equivalent to ![]()
is equivalent to ![]()
is equivalent to ![]()
To learn more about emoticons and their history, see the Wikipedia entry on Emoticons.
How Does WordPress Handle Smileys?
By default, WordPress automatically converts text smileys to graphic images. When you type
in your post you see
when you preview or publish your post.
To Turn off Graphic Smileys
If you turn off graphic smileys, whatever you type in plain text will remain, and be displayed, as plain text.
- Go to your Admin Panel
- Select Options > Writing
- In the Formatting section, uncheck the box for “Convert emoticons like :-) and :-P to graphics on display“
Turning off emoticons means that when you type
in a post you will see
when you preview or publish your post. So it doesn’t stop you from using emoticons as plain text. ![]()
