How Can I Use the Different Smiley Images in wordpress posts

Sponsors

If you want to use the different smiley image in your wordpress post then you can use following steps:

  1. Find your smiley image files in the /wp-includes/images/smilies directory and back them up to another directory
  2. Note the names of each smiley file. Your files must match these names and should be in the same ‘gif’ image format.
  3. For predictable behavior, the image sizes should be similar.
  4. Upload your new files to the /wp-includes/images/smilies directory with an FTP program.

If you want to changes the names of smiley and you need to edit wp-includes/functions.php file.

In that file you will find the “smilies_init” function.

You will find the following code in that file.


if ( !isset( $wpsmiliestrans ) ) {
 $wpsmiliestrans = array(
 ':mrgreen:' => 'icon_mrgreen.gif',
 ':neutral:' => 'icon_neutral.gif',
 ':twisted:' => 'icon_twisted.gif',
 ':arrow:' => 'icon_arrow.gif',
 ':shock:' => 'icon_eek.gif',
 ':smile:' => 'icon_smile.gif',
 ':???:' => 'icon_confused.gif',
 ':cool:' => 'icon_cool.gif',
 ':evil:' => 'icon_evil.gif',
 ':grin:' => 'icon_biggrin.gif',
 ':idea:' => 'icon_idea.gif',
 ':oops:' => 'icon_redface.gif',
 ':razz:' => 'icon_razz.gif',
 ':roll:' => 'icon_rolleyes.gif',
 ':wink:' => 'icon_wink.gif',
 ':cry:' => 'icon_cry.gif',
 ':eek:' => 'icon_surprised.gif',
 ':lol:' => 'icon_lol.gif',
 ':mad:' => 'icon_mad.gif',
 ':sad:' => 'icon_sad.gif',
 '8-)' => 'icon_cool.gif',
 '8-O' => 'icon_eek.gif',
 ':-(' => 'icon_sad.gif',
 ':-)' => 'icon_smile.gif',
 ':-?' => 'icon_confused.gif',
 ':-D' => 'icon_biggrin.gif',
 ':-P' => 'icon_razz.gif',
 ':-o' => 'icon_surprised.gif',
 ':-x' => 'icon_mad.gif',
 ':-|' => 'icon_neutral.gif',
 ';-)' => 'icon_wink.gif',
 '8)' => 'icon_cool.gif',
 '8O' => 'icon_eek.gif',
 ':(' => 'icon_sad.gif',
 ':)' => 'icon_smile.gif',
 ':?' => 'icon_confused.gif',
 ':D' => 'icon_biggrin.gif',
 ':P' => 'icon_razz.gif',
 ':o' => 'icon_surprised.gif',
 ':x' => 'icon_mad.gif',
 ':|' => 'icon_neutral.gif',
 ';)' => 'icon_wink.gif',
 ':!:' => 'icon_exclaim.gif',
 ':?:' => 'icon_question.gif',
 );

You can edit that names as per your requirement and add more smiley.

If you want to put some css for your smiley then you can use or put following CSS class in your style.css file (Theme folder).

img.wp-smiley {
   float: none;
   padding:2px;
   border:none;
}

That sit! Have fun.
