Installing smilies

Home > Writings > Wordpress >> Installing smilies

This tutorial will teach you how to replace those yellow smilies that come with Wordpress with your own smilies!

1. Go to your site account and look for the wp-includes folder.
    
2. Open the smilies folder. You can find it here: wp-includes > images > smilies.
    
3. Upload your smilies into this folder.
    
4. Go back to wp-includes and look for the functions.php file.
    
5. Open the file, but before you make any changes to this file, remember to keep a backup copy of the file.
    
6. Scroll your way down to the smilies section. Change the default filenames of the smilies to the filenames of your smilies.
   example: ':twisted:' => 'icon_twisted.gif', to ':twisted:' => 'twist.gif',
 
7. Save the file.
