Hi there,

if I write a smiley 🙂 into the text editor of my forum’s posts, they get converted into that square you can see in the screenshot here. Do you have an idea why this happens?

Warm regards,

do you have link with example?  or more info?  as you see it does not happen here or generally (cannot replicate nor has it been reported by others)…

Also – do you have any other WP plugins active that operate on smileys or emojis? If so can you turn them off and see if the problem persists and also let us now what the plugin is?
